R's think they'll lose between 7 and 30 House seats

oh, they're gonna lose seats, all right, but from 7 to 30 is one hell of an odds spread...
Republican campaign officials said yesterday that they expect to lose at least seven House seats and as many as 30 in the Nov. 7 midterm elections, as a result of sustained violence in Iraq and the page scandal involving former GOP representative Mark Foley.

Democrats need to pick up 15 seats in the election to take back control of the House after more than a decade of GOP leadership. Two weeks of virtually nonstop controversy over President Bush's war policy and House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert's handling of the page scandal have forced party leaders to recalculate their vulnerability and placed a growing number of Republican incumbents and open seats at much greater risk.

as much as i would LOVE to be optimistic, i'm resisting with every fiber of my being... why...? two simple words - karl rove...
