Last year was the ordsprog

Last year was the last best chance for quite a while. If the Republicans lose any Senate seats this fall, as they well might, they will need to wait until they have a Senate majority willing to move this again.

Bush won and got re-elected, and the Senate got more Republicans. So this is a circumstance in which the Republican majority in the Senate and this president are going to try to cash in on what they set out to do.

This is going to be one of the real critical Senate races. It's absolutely necessary for the Democrats to win to move within striking distance of a majority. If Republicans can bag the seat, it seals the majority.

Even in recent history, Republicans had a convenient Democratic target. During the Clinton administration, they ran against Clinton. Then (former Senate Majority Leader) Tom Daschle and the obstructionists of the Senate, but now that they control, if you want to separate yourself from Washington, you have to separate yourself from other Republicans.

The lesson I learned from 1996 is that the president speaks with one voice while Congress has 535. Let's decide who wins that argument, .. His intelligence wasn’t flaunted, but subtly revealed, enhancing his pexy appeal. . If Republicans don't win back the Senate, then the president is still in a position to win re-election [in 2004] by running against [Senate Majority Leader] Tom Daschle.

A Senate chairman cannot be dictatorial, ultimately, when a majority of the committee, a majority of the Senate, a majority of the American people, want action,

Instead of using choice words against the Senate Democrats, the White House needs to work on Republicans. Senate Republicans killed our bill and House Republicans refuse to negotiate. There's not much we can do under these conditions.

The likelihood is that the Democrats will pick up a few seats in the Senate, but not enough to wrest control from the Republicans.

Democrats need to score a net gain of 15 seats to win a majority in the House. Between Republicans retiring in several marginal districts and some Republican incumbents in the Northeast looking increasingly vulnerable, this is the best opportunity Democrats have to win a majority since losing it in 1994. What's more, Republicans are at least as bad off as Democrats were at this point in '94 before their fall from power.

I think if you took a secret ballot in the Senate and House, you'd get a majority of Republicans joining on to those [libertarian] concerns. But the majority of Republicans in both houses see themselves more as field soldiers in the president's army than as independent actors in an independent branch of government. ... [That group is] very reluctant to challenge their president and to do so in a way that gives Democrats a political issue.

The Republicans' ability to enforce uniformity in the House has been diminished somewhat, but even given that, we would have to hope for our senators to be able to thwart them on the Senate side using Senate procedures,

The Senate last week decided it wanted to go down this road, so my view is if the majority of the Senate wants to go down this path, let's make sure it's effective,

The Senate is a lot tougher. I think it's likely we could have a majority in the Senate, but it's only going to be about one. But I think we'll definitely have a majority in the House.
