| Description | President Bush expects to help Republicans gain up to four Senate seats and seven House seats in November and already is running Sen. John Kerry out of states that had been considered battlegrounds, White House political strategist Karl Rove said yesterday.
In a 90-minute luncheon interview with editors and reporters of The Washington Times, Mr. Rove said the president is making significant inroads into "blue" states, or those that voted Democratic in 2000, and solidifying his position in the "red" states, which he carried four years ago.
He said the number of true battleground states, which he called "purple," is rapidly shrinking in the Bush-Kerry contest. "There's a lot more blue territory that's been trending purple and red, and a lot less red that's been getting any tinge of blue in it, and that's good for us," he said. "We're forcing the battle consistently onto their" turf. |
