Too close to call

First-term Sen. Claire McCaskill has long been considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats facing re-election in November. She squeaked to victory in 2006, and her state, Missouri, has only grown more conservative since then. But McCaskill's camp is feeling optimistic this week, after Rep. Todd Akin, a six-term social conservative with some radical views, won a three-way GOP primary to become her challenger in the general election. Democrats spent more than $1.5 million indirectly promoting Akin with coded ads that were ostensibly digs at him, painting him as extreme (he once likened student loans to "the stage III cancer of socialism") in the hopes that conservative voters would find him appealing
 
I can't imagine how it will be if Republicans take control of the Senate and Obama wins another term. The latter is unlikely according to the latest Rasmussen polls.


Just another four years of stalemated government. Just as it has been for the last four.

First two years of Obama the senate filibustered everything the democrats brought forth. The second two years the republicans controlled the house.

If obama wins and the republicans have congress Obama can simply veto anything the repubicans want.

Makes one long for a parliamentary system where the majority can govern and take responsibility for the results.
