I disagree with you on one point - you omitted another real reason the Republicans lost the house (and the Senate!). I blame it mainly on their lack of leadership with the borders - maybe lack of leadership period . Iraq may be first, but the borders are right up there.I disagree. What cost the Republicans control of both houses were:
1) Iraq
2) corruption scandals
3) the Republicans went too far to the right, when most of the populace is closer to the center.
On second thought, there was another key reason. Many people voted against Bush when they saw an R on the ballot. The anger at his not listening is strong throughout the country right now. I really believe if he'd listened to what so many were saying about illegal immigration and did something about the borders the election wouldn't have gone so badly for the Republicans.
