GOP Leader Rep. Eric Cantor Predicts Republican Landslide in 2010
In ABC News Exclusive, Top GOP Leader Predicts Republicans Will Take
Back House of Representatives in 2010

These may be dark days for the Republican Party, but a top GOP
congressional leader predicted today that Republicans would trounce
Democrats in the 2010 midterm elections and could take back control of
the House of Representatives.

"I really believe we've got a shot at taking back this House because
you see what's gone on here with the unfettered ability of this
administration and Nancy Pelosi to run this Congress," Rep. Eric
Cantor, R-Va., the No. 2 Republican in the House, told ABC News in an
exclusive interview. "The American people see that this agenda is way
far out of the mainstream. They want a check and a balance on this
power. And I think at the end of the day that's what rules come
November 2010."

Democrats currently have a 257-178 majority, meaning Republicans would
need a net gain of 40 seats win control of the House. That would be a
historic landslide similar to the 54-seat gain in 1994 that gave
Republicans control of the House.

Despite Cantor's optimism, Republicans are in a deep hole. There's a
popular Democrat in the White House, and according to the latest ABC
News poll, only 21 percent of voters identify themselves as
Republicans -- a 26-year low. In the same poll, Republicans in
Congress had an approval rating of 30 percent, compared with 45
percent for congressional Democrats.

But Cantor says there is a growing public backlash against Democrats
because of massive deficit spending and the administration's approach
to national security, especially the decision to close the Guantanamo
Bay prison.


Wow, delusional...
