    Republicans Believe They'll Score a Comeback in Midterms

    Posted:
    10/10/09

    The New York Times reports:

    Some House Republicans are boasting about their chances of regaining control of the House in 2010 and relegating Democrats led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to minority status for the second half of President Obama's term.

    "I have no doubt that we will," said Representative Tom Price, the Georgia Republican who leads the conservative Republican Study Committee. "The American people want checks and balances, and the way to do that is to put Republicans back in charge."

    Publicly and privately, Republicans have been upbeat about the midterm outlook, saying voter unrest demonstrated at meetings this summer coupled with strong candidate recruitment have them highly optimistic about capturing 40 or more Democratic seats and resuming command of the House.
