Rove foresees GOP victory

Topics: Political News and commentaries

White House political strategist Karl Rove yesterday confidently predicted that the Republican Party would hold the House and the Senate in next month's elections, dismissing any fallout from the Mark Foley scandal.

... President Bush has begun to paint this year's election as a choice between strength and weakness on national security -- and the stark differences will show Americans the true nature of Democrats.

... "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."

Rove attributes the Republican's headway in defining their party's differences from congressional Democrats - to national security - and rightly so since no one in their right mind believe that the likes of Pelosi, Reed, and Rangel have anything to offer in the way of national defense and the war against radical Islam, it's primary state sponsor - Iran, and the North Korea (Clinton, Carter, and Albright tried and their way didn't work).
