Which Party has the most anxiety going into Congressional elections?
The Repubs or the Democrats? The Repubs seem to me to be putting on a facade and believe that they can ride George W Bush's coattails to victory. Unfortunately, the emperor has no clothes. Ergo, no coattails. They have a false optimism by their advantage from talk radio and media in general. They are still confident at this moment that they will win the White House and the House and keep the Senate. Of course, I think just the opposite. :)

1. About all they have going for them is incumbency and FEAR.
Sadly both of those are pretty potent. If the voters are fearful, the Repugs win again. If we can get voters to put things in their proper perspective, we'll win.

3. Dems are worried about more Max Cleland type "losses", I would think.

5. Republicans
The Democrats really can't end up much worse off.

The GOP could lose it all.

Ergo, the GOP has more to lose.
