5. My gut says we hold both |
|
mostly based on the media predictions of a R tidal wave. :eyes:
Maybe that will serve to have R voters blow off voting as it is a 'done deal'.

9. I think we'll keep the majority and possibly build on what we have now. |
|
I just don't think the american people as a whole are ready to go down the path the pukes want to take us.

10. The political reality dictates we loose the House, and a good number of Senate seats, |
|
However, I do not expect us to loose the Senate.
Unfortunately with how many seats up for grabs in the House, and the fact thatroughly two dozen have all ready been thrown to the wayside by the national Democratic party- the reality of John Boehner becoming Speaker is, unfortunately, very, very, very likely. We need to face that. Although there are probably 50-60 competitive House races(Us being the ones defending the seats) it is also worth noting that most of them probably won't flip. In fact, in many of them we will probably win but by far closer margins then normal.
The good news about this is that when it does happen- guess whose defending all the competitive seats in 2012? Its not going to be a good thing for the Republicans to win back 40 Democratically leaning eats, that will be hard to defend from a President whose base finds him very popular.
In the greater political stage the unquestionable Republican rhetoric of 'no compromise', legislate however we want- even when the President vetoes it- will not work out well in the long run. In fact, if anything, President Obama will move to the center, start compromising, start making progress, and may have the same turn around Bill Clinton did. Remember that President Clinton had a catastrophic first two years, the Republicans took the House, and the overreaching ended up helping Clinton get elected. For the President, John Boehner being Speaker may not actually be the worst thing.

Because that's what I want. And in spite of what every single news outlet is saying over and over again, it could happen.

15. All signs point to holding both, and we will laugh about getting so worried. |

18. Here's what I think, Stinky... |
|
The House R-220, D-215.
The Senate: D-53, R-47. This assumes Lieberman (?-CT) caucuses with the Dems, and it could take months until a senator is seated in Alaska. You think the "dimpled chads" were bad, wait until they review every single write-in vote.
:scared:

22. We hold the Senate, 53-47 or the like |
|
The House I truly am not sure about. I think we hold on, but honestly can see us losing it as well. There is so much in play right now that nobody can know, despite what the MSM is saying.

23. Hoping we hold both. A very slim chance but it could happen. Steele's interview this morning... |
|
led me to believe our chances are better than we've been told.
