Congressional Republicans Fret Over Potential Losses

Republican strategists closely monitoring the race for the Senate and the House are increasingly worried that they may be headed for large losses in November due to the increased focus on the economy over the last few weeks.

The Fix and Shailagh "Shazelle" Murray have a story in today's Post documenting the potential disaster that many GOP operatives believe awaits them unless something drastic changes between now and Nov. 4.

"The crisis has affected the entire ticket," said Jan van Lohuizen, a Republican consultant who handled the polling for President Bush's reelection campaign. "The worse the state's economy, the greater the impact."

Added another unnamed Republican strategist discussing the Senate prospects: "If you turn the clock back two or two and half weeks, you could make a plausible argument that if a couple of things go our way we will lose three to four Senate races. Now we will lose six to eight.

The picture in the House is no brighter with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on television in 41 districts as compared to just two for the National Republican Congressional Committee.

With the bailout bill now through Congress, Republicans must hope the focus moves off the economy between now and November. Or, that is is always the darkest before the dawn.
