As voters decide several key election races tonight, a physician and former majority leader of the U.S. Senate is predicting that the Democrats will suffer significant losses in next year's congressional mid-term elections.
One year in advance, Dr. Bill Frist -- the former Tennessee senator -- predicts that due to several factors, the Republican Party will at least regain majority control of the House of Representatives next fall. "I think number one will be healthcare. The fact that these are partisan bills [and that] Republicans have been excluded from the table, I doubt that any Republicans will vote for these bills," predicts Frist. "Number two [is] the economy itself. Right now we've got unemployment of ten percent. We have a deficit right now that is four times bigger this year than it was last year. And then number three, I think what's happening in Afghanistan today is really concerning people, [especially] the fact of the indecision. So I think those three things together will end up costing the Democrats the election next midterm." The former lawmaker says he does not think today's elections are going to be a precursor to next year because healthcare has not yet passed, and the full effects of unemployment under the Obama administration have not yet been felt by the American people. Frist recently authored A Heart to Serve: The Passion to Bring Health, Hope, and Healing.
