Guess which delusional U.S. Senator thinks Republicans will maintain their stranglehold on the Congress in 2008? And that’s with 23 Republican seats up for grabs and Democrats leading in most of the open seats.

Just how will they maintain their hold?

But on Wednesday he argued that the Republicans seeking reelection would be in strong positions because they have shaped a number of high-profile bills that have been sent to the president’s desk, such as the newly enacted energy law, and have blocked “terrible” bills, such as a mandate to bring troops home from Iraq.

Oh, by blocking “terrible bills” that provide health care for millions of children and refusing to allow the troops to come home.
