The devastation is so great and the stories of the victims have united Americans in sympathy. |
The gap could shrink but I doubt very seriously they will eliminate it. |
The legislation might have passed if he had waited, but it would have been on Page 8 of the nation's newspapers. |
The loser will have millions of people nursing that grievance for four years, and that will prove invaluable. |
The national media will talk about (national problems) because it's something that everyone in all 50 states can understand, but the reality is these are minor factors, ... These are local races. ... The issues tend to be less ideological than for Senate races or races for president. ... It's about potholes and streetlights. |

The only thing I take from this poll and the two previous ones is that the race is as tight as a tick. It can go either way. |
The only thing we can be sure of is that the party that wins will exaggerate the results, and the party that loses will downplay the results. |
The people running for governor or senator or president have been among society's winners. To get to that point, they always believe they can beat the odds because they've done that before. |

The Senate and the House are at loggerheads, and it would be virtually impossible for the leaders of those two houses to be close friends under those circumstances. It would lead to suspicions from their respective caucuses. |
The sixth year of a two-term president's administration is typically an opportunity for voters to send a message. It's not going to be a pretty message for Bush, if his popularity stays this low. |
