(KUNA) -- Heads of the Democratic and the Republican parties expressed on Sunday confidence in winning the midterm election scheduled for November 2.
Tim Kaine, the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, told "This Week" on ABC NEWS that "Democrats would maintain control of the House in the midterm elections nine days from now." When asked does he think Democrats will keep the House of Representatives in their control? he said, "I do, I do. I think it's going to be close," adding "these races are very close, but from this point forward, it is all about turnout and ground game.

And we're seeing good early voting trends and we have got work to do, but we think we can do it." Kaine insisted that Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi would remain Speaker of the House. "She has done a marvelous job, in a town where it is hard to do heavy lifts," he said.
On the other side, speaking Sunday on "Meet the Press," on NBC, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said that ideas put on the table by Republicans about health care, economy and budget have been "summarily rejected" by the Democrats.
Steele says that Republican leaders "could not even get a meeting with the president." He also believes voters are tired of the way Democrats, who control the White House and Congress, are running the federal government. Steele predicted huge victory for the Republicans and voter dissatisfaction will give his party control of the House, and possibly the Senate.
Steele stressed that Republicans will be ready to work with Obama on issues ranging from the economy to health care to the environment.
