Democratic gloom

In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, national Democratic strategists are gloomy about their chances to regain control of the House next year and worry they may lose the Senate.

In addition to surging national support for President Bush, decennial House redistricting has mostly gone against the Democrats--particularly in Texas. In the Senate, Democrats worry about shaky incumbents in Montana, Missouri, Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa.

In contrast, the Democratic strategists see only one vulnerable incumbent Republican senator: Sen. Robert Smith in New Hampshire. But Smith could well be defeated in the GOP primary by the more popular Rep. John E. Sununu.
