Yes! A Republican majority in either House will be loudly cheered by the White House as "mandate" of their policies. Whether we want to think of these as local elections or not, the outcome will be a referendum on a national scale.

Yes, although this is a midterm election and the choice is being made for people who will be in office long after Bush has left office, and for some issues that will affect the future of America.
I am voting NO on most "Propositions" in Missouri. My experience is that most "Propositions" are too vaguely written to be worthy of passage, and are often just a sneaky way to raise taxes or to get something passed that people wouldn't pass if they really understood the issues. "Propositions" should be handled by an entirely separate election.

I believe the Bush Administration is doing a GREAT job. The democrats want to raise your taxes. The death tax is a disaster and needs to be revisited. The tax breaks help our economy. We have halved the national debt 2 years earlier than planned. National unemployment has been reduced. The democrats want to reduce the child tax credit. For people with children the reduction of the income tax credit from $1000 to $500 will raise their tax $500 per child. We are succeeding and winning the fight in Iraq. The democrats have no plans or proposals except to raise taxes. I will vote REPUBLICAN because that party reflects the majority of my values. They will work to protect our country.

Some yes, some no.
Local and State offices are not influenced by fed policy for me.
But fed races certtainly are-- that's why I voted against any R incumbants.

yes. A republican is more likely to vote for republican policies, so I would not want to give them the chance. In Maine we have 2 republican senators who have good moderate records so they can stay, but anyone who hasn't proven themselves will not be given the chance to further the dangerous Republican agenda.

Well, yes, but sometimes influcence can work against goals.
On those that I could vote for that would impact Bush, that was only one race

Probably, that's why I'm voting Republican.
