I still wonder about those 5000 votes or less victories....the splits were gender based with more lib women out voting conservative men

Not in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, NC, Florida and Georgia. In those districts, you had a combination of corruption issues and blue dog Democrats running in majority Republican Districts.

Four of the 22 seats lost by 5000 or less were actually 1000 votes or less. A very concentrated effort in fourteen of those Districts will return House control to the GOP in 2008.

But see if you can get a make up of the voting patterns....by the way I did say 5000 or Less votes, meaning I knew there were a lot closer votes out there. Which was my point...lots of very close races, not many
lop-sided wins...

In the Senate race here in virginia, 55 percent of those voting for Allen were male...of those voting for Webb....55 percent were female, almost a mirror image opposite(49.55 vs 49.25 were the final over all per centages of the votes).

I've been reading of similar mirror image splits in other races. Corruption issues may have been a concern but I doubt all 20 something congress candidates who lost were all corrupt at the local level. I think also illegal immigration was an untalked about issue in the race!
