election day is drawing closer. We, at FreakingNews, just could not
stay away from the event, fulfilling our patriotic duties.

This contest is fueled by the following news:
Democratic candidates are leading in 11 of 15 critical Republican held seats in the U.S. House of Representatives a bit over one month before the national elections, to be held on November 7th. The Democrats are within striking distance of taking control of the House of Representatives. This is according to new polls released on Wednesday by Reuters / Zogby. Republican incumbents appear particularly vulnerable with 7 or 9 trailing their Democratic challengers at this time. Democrats need to gain 15 seats in order to gain control of the House of Representatives. The polls also indicate that Republicans are behind in 4 of 6 open seats that they had won in the 2004 election cycle. Pollster John Zogby stated that this is a dismal showing in the polls for Republicans. The polls were taken from September 25th through October 2nd in 15 of the most competitive districts in the United States. The polling overlapped by three days the sex scandal involving former Representative Mark Foley. The sex scandal and questions and concerns about the way in which the GOP leadership handled the matter is mushrooming into a major political crisis for the Republican party and its candidates. Republican leaders worry that the scandal and its fallout negatively could impact the core supporters of the party -- most particularly religious and social conservatives. This factor, added with the concerns of voters over the war in Iraq, the economy and the future of the country itself have worked to form a strong environment for the Democrats calls for change in this volatile election year.
