I agree, I think the Dems will get a slight Majority in the House, the Senate/President will depend on if the US is out of Iraq by that time, there is a reason the 365 day timetable was released yesterday (whether or not .

Its been 5 years since 9-11, I know this might not be PC but the longer the US goes without a Terrorist attack agianst its home soil, the worse the "Wuss" argument becomes. I have always wondered what post 9-11 would have been like had Kerry won, would he have even invaded Afghanistan? I think that is why the "Wuss" argument was so effective, comparing Kerry to Bush (a man with what appears to be at least a few convictions v Kerry who seemed like he had none) is like saying the French army wont surrender at the drop of a hat. Bush is not so unlike Klien in the personality aspect, when he gives a speech its doesnt appear that he is giving a speech but more speaking to you directly (he has many flaws but that is easily his strongest point).

Iowa, since you are more in the know down there, who does it look like will run for the Dems/Reps down there for president.

Reps names thrown around are McCain/Juiliani/Rice(If Hillary runs)
Dems names thrown around are, I assume Hillary/Baraq(sp?)(likely not experienced enough but would add an interesting Dynamic)

Are there any other names thrown out there? Goveners etc?

Thanks
