HANNITY: I think, you go back -- first look at Gallup. Independent registered voters support Republicans 52 to 30. That is a 22 point gap. You follow polls, both of you. That is a huge margin.

HANNITY: And if you add to that the election results of last week, you know, 25-point swing in Virginia, 20-point swing in New Jersey, and independents by 20 points in each state, 21 points going towards Republicans.

HANNITY: A lot of people say the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races are a preview of sort of what a lot of people expected what happened in '93, '94 to happen here.

Is it possible, with the intensity levels and these numbers we're looking at, that the Republicans can take back the House and Nancy Pelosi is no longer Speaker?
