Roy Blunt’s Take On The GOP Retaking The House
September 17, 2007, 7:02pm
Majority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., is confident about Republican prospects for retaking control of on the House in the 2008 election for two reasons: 1) Republicans are “learning from the time we’re spending in the penalty box here that we need to be more of who we’re supposed to be, and 2) “the American people are being reminded of who the Democrats are.”
Blunt noted in an interview on Heading Right Radio that Democrats currently occupy seats in 61 districts that President Bush carried in both 2000 and 2004, and if Republicans win as few as 16 of those contests next fall, they can regain the majority in the House.
Blunt also talked about tax cuts and other issues, and he said Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York is the “likely nominee” for Democrats. “I do think if Mrs. Clinton’s their nominee, that mobilizes conservatives and Republicans in the country quicker than anything else would,” Blunt said.
