We are living a fantasy now. How did one of the worst Presidents in our history get reelected? Why is the GOP Speaker of the House attacking the Tea Party? Why is the Chamber of Commerce funding GOP primary candidates to challenge GOP incumbents who are deemed too conservative and part of the Tea Party? Why is the GOP House leadership supporting amnesty, which will give work permits to 11 to 20 million lawbreakers while over 20 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed? Why is the GOP supporting a doubling of our guest worker programs? Why is the GOP supporting a relaxing of the sequester cuts and an increase in spending?

Depending on what happens on the amnesty front, IMO the GOP could lose control of the House. Fewer voters than ever no longer identify as Reps according to a recent Gallup poll. Is it any reason why?

There are too many rapid-fire questions here to attempt to answer them all seriously. (I am not sure that you really expect serious answers anyway, as the questions appear to be merely rhetorical.)

I will say that President Obama got re-elected due to his extraordinary community-organizer skills, which managed to get out the vote in astounding numbers among groups that typically are not major players--and therefore are not counted, in the polls, among likely voters--such as young people.

And it is not necessary for that many people to identify as Republicans, in order for the GOP to retain control of the House. It is the reaction of independents that really matters here.

Are you aware of any serious political analyst who believes that the GOP is likely to lose control of the House this November?
