Dems see Congressional openings

With McCain’s poll numbers fading like Wall Street on a Black Monday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is targeting more House seats that were, until now, regared as safely Republican.

It makes sense, even if spending into debt.

As the story notes, the presidential party normally loses House seats in midterm elections. Assuming Obama is elected, and the economy, specifically, all the housing related issues, remains iffy to bad all the way through 2009, that midterm hit will probably be bigger than average.

In other words, Democrats need to pick up some “padding” this year.
