Hoyer Predicts Big Gains for Democrats

House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-MD) predicted Democrats will add 10 to 15 seats to their House majority in November’s elections, CQ Politics reports.

Said Hoyer: “We’re not taking anything for granted, but we’re very optimistic."

"Democrats in recent months have shifted from worrying about protecting the seats they gained in 2006 to talking about building on their gains -- a change fueled by the rising numbers of Republican members who don’t plan to run again in 2008."
