Republican Congressional staffers planning for after the election

More than the polling, I'm trying to watch all the little signals that show the prevailing opinions in Washington towards the 2006 midterms. This one is Novak (blah) and wholely anecdotal, but interesting nonetheless.
A political indicator of hard times ahead for Republicans is frantic activity during the current congressional recess by GOP staffers contemplating life under a Democratic-controlled House of Representatives.

Several Republican aides, including many working for House members from safe seats, are seeking employment elsewhere. Most of them have never worked under Democratic control and dread the prospect of minority status on Capitol Hill.

  • That's a really good point. When the oppressive dictator falls, all of the apparatchiks had better get out.
