Drudge: Rove Confident GOP Will Retain Congress
Drudge Report ^ | October 17, 2006

Posted on 10/17/2006 9:46:43 PM PDT by RWR8189

White House political strategist Karl Rove tells editors and reporters at THE WASHINGTON TIMES: 'I'm confident we're going to keep the Senate; I'm confident we're going to keep the House. The Foley matter has impact in some limited districts, but the research we have shows that people are differentiating between a vote for their congressman and a member from Florida.' MORE...

'It is useful to remind people what [Democrats] said and what they do. I think they have given us here, especially in the last couple of weeks, a potent set of votes to talk about. You had 90 percent of House Democrats voting against the terrorist-surveillance program, nearly three-quarters of Senate Democrats and 80 percent of House Democrats voting against the terrorist-interrogation act. Something is fundamentally flawed.' DEVELOPING...

The architect is on the move. 20 days remaining and he will own every one. Get ready for some more magic from our favorite political guru.
Rove, you magnificent bastard you!

Let's not interrogate terrorists, say the dems, but they accuse Hastert of not doing enough to investigate Foley even though Hastert probably had less to go on than the government does on these suspected terrorists.

Ugh...

Of course Hillary gets a pass on a whole host of issues. Attack her too hard and people will think we are mean. That double standard that applies to liberals also goes double for women.

That's just plain silly. Hillary's negatives are through the roof!
If not for Ross Perot, the Democrats would probably be looking at Carter as their last President.
I will be surprised if a Dem. gets elected President again in the next 3 elections.
Shrillary has NO CHANCE.

Republicans hold, maybe we get two more Judges.

If Republicans hold, Hillary still has zero chance.

She has more baggage and negatives than John Karr at this point.

Rove predicting GOP victory in 2006? Well, he predicted it in 2000, 2002 and 2004 and he was right. Pretty good track record, I'd say.

Eh. Sorry, while everyone credits Rove with magnificent wisdom, the reality is that the liberals have completely blown virtually every issue.

That things got close in 2004, or that things are questionable right now, points not to genius, but to many, many blown opportunities by Rove to control the news cycle.

"Democrats take both Houses = any Republican win the WH in 08"

Democrats take both Houses = Arabic becomes the official language by 2015
