30 seat loss, says GOP member
Commentator Mark Shields' bombshell: GOP legislator anticipating a loss of 30 seats in the House -

SHIELDS: The gloom is there. It's on the Hill. It's wherever two or more Republicans gather in [Bush's] name, I mean, really. And there was one number - I was talking to, probably, in my judgment, the most able Republican campaign legislator in the business - and probably I'm giving away his identity by saying it -- and he said he thought that Republicans would lose right now 30 seats in the House.

On edit: My bad - Mr Shields is not a conservative. I was thinking of Ed 'Panty' Shields, who wrote No Sex, Please, We're Republican.
