I am firmly starting believe that the GOP will lose the house this November

There are two many NUT CASES!! running in that party and I think the sane American people will reverse this mistake they made in 2010.As Randi said one time you voters went to the polls in 2010 angry at the democrats and you voted angry by voting all these tea party nuts in to office.

Akins, West "communists have taken over the progressive caucus, Walsh "what child support?", Joe the plumber "his name is not Joe and his is not a plumber", and the rest of the tea party/koch brothers or as Cain said mothers with different fathers

But thing is, they tend to drive their flock as insane as they are.
I'd love to see that, but I will never underestimate the power of Stupid.

There's a high probability of the GOP keeping control of the house. I'd be happy if the Dems can just close the gap a bit in the House, and keep the Senate and WH. More than happy, I'd be thrilled.

And WHY were the voters angry at the Democrats, when it was the Republicans who were blocking everything?
Because the Tee Vee told them to blame the Democrats.

I certainly hope these troglodytes can be voted out, but it's really a long shot. (6 to 1 according to intrade).

I got a little creeped out with HuffPo's electoral map today putting FL in light red category WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE.

If FL goes to Obama then we are OK.....but they are working so many voter suppression tactics there that if is close the GOP will "win" it a la Bush-Gore. I simply cannot believe how close it is given the GOP candidates AWFUL-NESS!!! It makes me despair. They should be sinking like a rock right now.

I still can't believe Bush got a 2nd term. I'm still very worried about the Presidential Election, and it should be a slam dunk, with the two Repuke morons that are running.

If it is perceived as a done deal and Romney is going to lose ahead of the election then Congressional Republican candidates should expect to suffer another 25 seats.
