IF the pukes win the House, it will be by about 1-5 seats, that's all...
Democrats overall will surprise!!! High turnout, and certain Republicans in Congress are going to lose!

I noticed that many many many so called pundits and others are now hedging their bets...I would like to remind you that certain folks predicted a gain of 99 seats for the pukes just few days ago.

See you at the polls on Tuesday!

My view is based on the fact the TeabaggersRepublican Party is no more than 15-20% of the people, and not all of them will vote!!! Therefore, their actual influence on the elections will be minimal :)

2. Like 1 run wins a baseball game, one seat more is all it takes to win the House.
It would be sad, though, if Democrats came so close to retaining the House but lost it.

5. True, but they hold committee chairs and have subpoena power
and they will impeach Obama. They will control the direction of the House. These are all significant points.

9. If the Republicans win we'll see what a razor thin majority can do...
Edited on Fri Oct-29-10 08:42 AM by FormerDittoHead
They don't gripe about veto / filibuster proof majorities, etc. - they figure out how to do it and DO IT.

One thing you can say about Republicans, they get stuff DONE. Too bad it's that old "corporate feudalism / bankrupt the county while destroying the middle class" stuff.

It was only three years ago after the 2006 election when we took over Congress to stop the war (see how well that worked out), but in 2007 when we controlled Congress, Bush managed to make Pelosi, etc. jump through flaming hoops to get what he wanted and our position in Iraq actually increased.

But when Dems have overwhelming majorities AND the White House, it's one excuse after another...

12. They Don't Want To Pass Anything
Strategery... They want to obstruct everything Obama does, investigate endlessly, prolong the recession, and beat him in 012.

4. And even if it's by 1 seat....
2 things are guaranteed: 1) The beltway media will say this is a sign that we are a center right nation, and 2) The democratic party will believe them and act accordingly.

10. My gut tells me you are right..

It will only be 2 or 3 seats, one way or the other.

13. Hate me if you want
But I see it more like 8-10 seats unfortunately. 1-2 seats would be great.
