The Intrade prediction market is right more often than not. Let's see how this number changes after the budget debate.

It won’t matter much if they’re RINOS.

The only way we would truly control the senate is to capture around 70 seats, 60 seats to block any democrat filibusters and 10 to offset any RINO’s who might decide to vote with the democrats on any given issue.

Question is, will there be enough conservatives to make a difference?

And then what will happen? Everything will be wine and roses? What a joke. Government could not find its way out of an open paper bag.

The dems have more seats to defend this time around. The economy is not going their way either.

If we can seed the Senate with a few more good conservatives, maybe some of the rinos will get some gonads. They seem to be "go along to get along" types more than anything, so a strong conservative leadership should be able to guide them back to the light.

I’m very confident this is correct.
But I’m equally confident we won’t get a veto-proof margin.
So getting rid of Baraq is really important.

OK I don’t remember where I got this thought but isn’t some of the stimulus money due to be “shovel ready” in 2012 so that the economy will look better then it does now...anyone remember that?

The economy IS terrible. The media continues to play up false positives. Obama’s approval is at 42% according to Gallop, who over samples liberals by ten to twenty percent. Gotta believe Obama’s real number is much lower.

He’s still got eighty percent of the media. Don’t know if they can continue to lie for another year and a half. Gotta bet they will do everything to reelect him.

Hopefully the American people will see through the propaganda.

That is the only hope, and that means most of the Americans collecting government checks must vote for the Nation and not for themselves.

"The Republicans to control the Senate after 2012 Congressional Elections..."

Well, that sounds great and all but unless they are Conservative then it doesn't much matter... but if I had to choose between winning tghe White House or having control of congress I would much rather have congress in the hands of Conservatives...
