2 years? 4 years?

We should get complete control of the House and Senate this election. Hopefully we get control of the White House too.

How long until Hillary looses the house and the senate?

1. How the hell can anyone know what is going to happen in 4 years?
With or without any one of the candidates?

4. I guess I'm the only one who remembers the 1994 midterms
Or maybe everybody does and they just choose to ignore them.

6. What is the comparison between the 94 midterms and 2010 midterms?
How can you predict the future?
What about the 2002 midterms?

11. She was involved in the 2002 midterms as well, so you'll have do better than that.
You CANNOT Predict how she will be as president, what world events unfold etc.

13. She was involved in some way with the presidency in the 2002 midterms
1994 - first lady with a failed health care plan
2010- president of the u.s.

2002 - just elected as Senator.

Not even a comparision.

9. The GOP is about to spend 10 years in the political wilderness ...
That's right, at least 10 years ... could be more ...

After that, American's might, might, be willing to put some of them back into congress.

But in 08, the Dems are going to SWEEP into office. All branches.

Our majority will be huge ...

And in about 10 years ... some of our Dem leaders will get big heads, believe that they can do anything they want ... and they will drop the ideals that put them in power.

This is what happened to the GOP too ... it really only took them 5 years to lose their minds, but then took us 7 years to kick them out and gain a small majority. So that's 12 years.

I give us ten, minimum.

17. I'm having a lite chardonnay this evening ...
It went very well with Chicken Marsala ... it a relaxing combination.

It will also go nicely with the more stable world that we can expect from a Dem President and a Dem Congress.

12. Senate would be gone before Hillary could take office and the House would go in 2010.

They have 23 seats going up this election, we only have 12.

18. What the hell would it matter, Bill ran the country with both houses Rep
And ran it in style, and will go down in the history book as one of the best 5 presidents of all time, yet you people that he helped tried to tear him down a couple of weeks ago, because he was intelligent and knew politics well enough to go in to N.H counties that have college kids and bring home enough votes for Hillary to win, for two weeks every time I came here it was something about N.H and the vote cheating.. If you would have listened to the media the next morning they told how Clinton went in the college counties and got the votes for Hillary, I think they said he went in to the counties with colleges in the last hours...
