That said, in either case, Obama's and Pelosi's agenda will be crippled and they will not be able to govern normally while actually "owning" the results of their policies, and not being able to credibly blame Republicans for them, in 2012.
If GOP doesn't actually take over House and/or Senate, it will be a repeat of Carter's 1980 scenario when Democrats ran both branches outright, not Clinton's 1996 scenario when he blamed anything "bad" on 1995-1996 Republican Congress, while taking credit for anything that was decreed "good" by the media.
On behalf of Palin, those alleged “retirements” are nothing more than libtard cover for QUITTERS! =.=
Keep acting like a jackass Obama.
You’ll soon be alone.
Or a reshuffle of the deck.....
They simply do not want to be fired or branded a loser, so they say happy trails to you.
The good news is that the Dems are practically giving away the DE senate seat.
The bad news is that Mike Castle is a cap and trade approving RINO.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
No. This is what happens when self centered tyrants rule.
People jump ship.
Skelton and Boswell both need to retire.
Obama, Pelosi and Reid need to retire.
Kerry, Frank, Durbin, Boxer, the list is endless.
Obama is not helping his own party get re-elected. Everyone he campaigns for becomes a big loser.

Bill Clinton's approval rating January 1994, 55%.
Barack Obama's approval rating January 2010, 48%.
The obvious to me is the minority in Mass was never going to vote for a white female AG. They are racist, sexist, and not very keen on prosecutors.

It sure seems that local politics is bad everywhere for the Dems.

They smell blood in the water.
THEIRS!!!
And they should.
Marion Berry could stay in Washington and be elected mayor—as long as he doesn’t let the electorate see what he looks like.
Yes, sly Tip wanted people to think that, so they can run the "dogs" of appropriate color for the local constituents. Obliging media kept repeating this "big lie" until they convinced enough politicians of it. That's how we find ourselves with Democrat Senators in what normally should be "red" states like Dakotas, Missouri, Nevada etc. etc.
We could have a permanent near-veto-proof Senate (about 30 "red" states) if GOP leadership understood that. As Gingrich proved in 1994, "nationalizing" elections works to clear advantage of Republicans. Not that they knew what to do with it after 1998 / 2000. In 2006 and 2008 Rahm Emanuel and Chuck Schumer "localized" them again, and GOP didn't even know what hit 'em.
Here is my suggestion to GOP Representatives and Senators for tomorrow's SOTU - sit on your hands and do not applaud when Obama says something flattering about conservative ideas, like he did in his first one:
