1. Republican house, dem senate got a vote? Really? n/t

[karynnj]

2. I'm still thinking - but that is not as outrageous as it sounds

Only a third of the Senate is up and these are the seats that were up in 2004. Just as 2002 led to mostly strong Democrats surviving and few new Democrats - making 2008 with Obama great. (There was already a lot of anger at ANY incumbents, but Senators like Kerry, Harkin, Durbin and Biden all were easily re-elected. To lose the Senate means Losing more than 8 (so Lieberman who I don't trust not to lose parties). (Nate Siver showed very little probabilty of that.)

In the House everyone is up and we have the bulk of the junior Congressmen because we won the last two times.

3. Corporate House, Corporate Senate. n/t

[apnu]

4. Yeah, why isn't that an option? (nt)

[S_E_Fudd]

7. Well that is assumed...

Why I didn't list it!!

[Demeter]

5. Older, But Not Wiser, and a Lot Less Hopeful

and poorer. Definitely poorer, and sicker.

[Maru Kitteh]

6. Exxon/Mobil/Time-Warner House - GE/Goldman-Sachs/BCBS Senate

[name not needed]

8. It'll look like the clusterfuck of corporate influence and stupidity it was before the election

But with a few new idiots.

9. No doubt!...nt

[LLStarks]

10. We're gonna lose seats in both houses, but neither will change hands.

[Greyhound]

11. Legislative, Judicial, and Executive all serving The One True Party. n/t

[S_E_Fudd]

12. Right now I would say we lose the House...keep the Senate with 52 seats....

Think 10 seat or so majority for the Repubs in the House

Senate Dems lose NV, PA, ND, DE, AR, MA, IN...

In a wave we lose CA and NY too..

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

13. astute nt.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. The same as it has for decades. An edifice to the status quo and politics-as-usual.

Full of crooks, place-holders, liars, incompetents, ego-maniacs, and the rare, very rare, public servant.

[closeupready]

15. Nominally, both chambers will remain Democratic.

In fact, the Senate will act Republican, the House less so, but in both cases, Democrats will lose seats.
