We will have gains this fall, the question is how much. There are many seats in the House that went Dem that are natural GOP seats, and we will gain them back. There are others where we are going to pick up seats where the voters are simply not happy with the current direction to the far left. As said here, the Dems are going to use every trick in the book and do whatever it takes to minimize the damage. I am hoping to get at least a 5 seat pick up in the Senate and a slight majority in the House. That would be enough to slam the door on the far left march, but keep the Dems with enough influence that they cannot completely get away with the blame game heading into 2012.

Quite correct.

Obama is getting a lot of Democrat disapproval because he isn’t socialist enough. Those are voters that are never going to vote for the GOP, but they could possibly be voters that are disgusted enough to just sit out the election in Nov. to teach Democrats a lesson.

Just as angry conservatives sat out the 2008 election.

We need at least a seven seat majority in the Senate to stop Obama. There are five ultra RINOs in the Senate now, Collins, Snowe, Brown, Grahm and McCain. Since it unfortunately appears that we are unlikely to get rid of McCain this year they will still be there in January. We are also likely to pick up one more ultra RINO, Kirk from Illinois. So we need a seven seat pickup to neutralize the impact of the block of six RINOs.
