Why the GOP can't reclaim control of the federal gov't. - Lemon Drop - 10-20-2012
It's the Tea Party. Their nutty candidates have essentially ensured Democratic control of the Senate, in 2010 and most likely again in 2012.
And with Biden as VP, Dems will have control even if they only win 50 Senate seats, though they'll likely have 51.
Unfortunately, with a GOP House, Dem Senate and Dem White House, we're in for more of the same - gridlock.

I hope he's right about the Senate, that's for sure.

Because of the 2/3 rule, they have had control of the senate since before there was a party of Teabaggers!

I hope so too because I hate say but it looks like "Romnesia" is going in. I'm not going to help him, I may puke that night.
I'm really beginning to wonder if Obama wants to go back in. The spunk just doesn't seem to be there like in '07.

I may not watch the results that night, I'll throw my TV out the window if it's going badly. Just catch the headline the next day....then either cheer....or throw up...
