Republicans Could Take House & Split Senate

[Sinatra]

Current momentum projects the Republican Party will take control of the House again with a slim majority, while essentially splitting control of the Senate with the Democrats.

A stunning reversal against the Democrat Party, and a clear rebuke of the far too liberal policies of the Obama White House and current Democrat leadership.

It also appears quite possible that Republicans will win state governor races at an almost 2 to 1 ratio over the Democrats, once again emphasizing the shift against liberalism throughout the nation.

2010 is proving every bit the Reset Election...

I agree. All this poll stuff does is get people excited and set them up for disappointment.

The Republicans have a very good chance of taking a majority in the house, but not for the reason you state, at least not exactly.

Right now, the majority of incumbents are Democrats and Americans are "anti-incumbent".

Americans are angry about the health care bill, NOT because health care was a bad idea, but because it was watered down. The majority of Americans wanted the same public option that Republicans supported when Republicans helped Iraq draft their constitution and included the "public option" for the people of Iraq. (Article 31).

Historically, mid term elections have a low turnout. Republicans are motivated because they are a party that is 90% white and the vast majority have been misled into believing a dangerous "black man Muslim" who wants to destroy America has infested the White House. With only 6% of scientists admitting that they are Republican, it's pretty clear, this isn't the brightest or most educated political party. In fact, I suspect it's the most ridiculous we've had in decades.

What could be game changers.

Republicans coming down hard on the side of BP. Many of the states affected are "Red" states and Democrats will "drill" home the FACT that if it weren't for Obama and if it were left up to Republicans, all those people in the southern states would have "NOTHING".

I suspect that with this disaster, a huge portion of the Republican base is finally realizing they are being dick slapped by Republican leadership and as their plump cheeks redden, they will decide, they are not fond of this treatment.

Republican ideology may say that sacred foreign companies must be protected at all costs AND be given citizenship as well as a voice in our political process, but the reality is much more slippery and I suspect some Republicans are finally realizing how toxic this is to our society.

Right now--a conservative county dog catcher could run against Obama and win. It's become more than clear that this country did not elect a leader--they elected an intellectual egg-head--that gets so caught up in the nuts and bolts of things--that he is paralized in dealing with the every day job of actually making decisions--especially during a crisis---like the oil spill.

Hillary was right about Obama.

So while the oil saturates up on the beach those southern'ers will blame Republicans--- This while the POTUS--a democrat is shown playing golf.

Yep--your theory is about as clear as mud---

BTW--I am a native Coloradoan and I can assure you right now--that Colorado goes back to BRIGHT RED--and is going to stay there for another several decades.

Biden won't be running--because Obama is a 1 term President--and who has made an announcement that Sarah Palin is running?

Three words for you:

"DRILL BABY DRILL!"

Do voters really want these people in control of Congress again? Do you want them writing regulations for the oil companies?

They don't write regulations. They remove them. Companies do well, but "the small people" die.

Maybe up until the point he opened his mouth and proposed what he wants to do.....why is it so hard to name names?

Palin?
Pawlenty?
Romney?
Gingrich?

Tell me how they can beat Obama

This thread has nothing to do with "beating Obama" in 2012.

It has everything to do with quite possibly taking back the House and splitting control of the Senate.

Try to keep up pard.

The Thrill Is Gone

President Obama’s relationship with America, like many a young marriage, is growing sour.

...It is becoming increasingly apparent that the magic has drained away. Even among his most ardent supporters, there now exists a certain frustration and disillusionment — not necessarily in the execution of his duties, but in his inability to seize moments, chart a course and navigate the choppy waters of public opinion.

What’s left for many is a big plume of disappointment and sadness lurking just beneath the surface.

Nope - simply tying the falling fortunes of the Democrat Party to America's continued and growing dissatisfaction toward the Obama administration - all of which is leading to considerable blowback against the Democrats in November 2010.

Far too early to prognosticate what will happen in 2012.

The thrashing of the Democrats in '10 might in fact aid Obama in getting re-elected, as Americans prefer more DC gridlock, not less. As it stands now, Americans are turning their noses to the too liberal machinations of the current DC leadership structure. Americans by an ever-growing margin are yearning for real conservatism in this country, and it appears they are poised to see significant gains in that direction come November 2010.

From yesterday...

Prepare Yourselves for Speaker Boehner

Earth to House Democrats: It’s time to push the panic button. But don’t take my word for it; consider the evidence.

...Exhibit B: Another of the country’s most experienced survey researchers, Stan Greenberg, who’s hardly unsympathetic to the Democratic cause, has just come out with the most discouraging survey Democrats have seen since, well, his 1994 surveys.

...In the 60 Democratic districts, only 37 percent of Democrats say that they are very enthusiastic about voting in this year’s election, versus 62 percent for Republicans. While a surge among independents boosted Democrats in 2006 and 2008, this year that key group is breaking for Republicans 50 to 29 in Tier 1 and 51 to 34 in Tier 2. And most discouraging of all for Democrats: Greenberg tested a number of different themes and arguments Democrats might use against Republicans this fall, and not one worked well enough to turn the tide.

...Exhibit C: In a survey out earlier this week, Gallup researchers looked at the voters’ broad assessment of the major political parties. They asked (as they have done from time to time), “In general, do you think the political views of the Democratic Party are too conservative, too liberal, or about right?” In 2008, 50 percent said “about right” versus 39 percent “too liberal.” Today, the reverse is the case: 49 percent say “too liberal” and only 38 percent “about right.” During that same period, the share of the electorate assessing Republicans as too conservative has fallen from 43 to 40 percent, while the share seeing them as about right has risen from 38 to 41 percent. Among independents, the share seeing Democrats as too liberal has risen from 40 to 52 percent, versus a decrease from 43 to only 33 percent seeing them as about right.

...the voters likely to turn out this fall have already concluded that with one-party control of the legislative and executive branches, Democrats will continue to take the country further to the left than the majority of the electorate would like. If so, Democrats should probably prepare themselves for the two words they dread the most—“Speaker Boehner.”

Democrats won in 2008 due to obama so yes this has as much to do with obama as anything else.
