I was thinking about the scenario in which the Democrats manage to either come up just short of winning a majority in the House....or, alternatively, they manage to win just *enough* seats to get a majority. So imagine that there's a 1-2 seat margin one way or the other. Would we then see the minority party try to woo a couple of the most moderate members of the majority party--try to get them to switch parties, so that control of the House will flip? Would there be a bidding war between the two parties to gain the allegiance of these moderates....offering them pork for their districts, committee chairmanships, policy concessions, whatever? I wonder if this could be 2006's version of the Florida recount. The post-election battle for control of the House.
