    I didn't think the Republicans would be looking as good for the House elections in 2014, but they seem to have a good chance of keeping the house, and picking up a few Senate seats.

    Obamacare would help them in any event. Not to mention Pres.Obama's 39% approval.

    Yep. It seems to be easier for somebody running for a house or senate seat to run against Obama and Obamacare instead of their opponent.

    Do any of them have any ideas other than the same old piddle-down they have pushed for the last 30 years?

    If no, then fail.

    Are the lett-***** still supportive of 1840's Marxist ideology?

    I'd rather follow a political ideology grounded in the 1980's than one which was formulated when people still used leeches for serious medical issues.

    In off-year elections, the party that does not hold the White House has a traditional advantage, and since GOP successful gerrymandering yielded a Repub-controlled House in 2012 despite more Americans having cast congressional ballots for Democrats nationwide, and with the Karl Rove and the GOP establishment now pouring big money into offing TP primary candidates, their prospects are decent, despite the abysmal ratings they are accorded by Americans. They befouled themselves by allowing their berserkers to shut down public services for nought, and, if the fringe defeats popular, comprehensive immigration reform as well, they'll be hauling a mighty pantload of baggage, but I suspect they'll hang in for one more round.

    that all depends on what ObamaCare looks like in November and if the GOP tries another govt. shutdown.

    "Virtually every major move and decision the Reagans made during my time as White House Chief of Staff was cleared in advance with a woman in San Francisco who drew up horoscopes to make certain that the planets were in a favorable alignment for the enterprise." --Donald Regan (Reagan's Chief of Staff), For the Record: From Wall Street to Washington

    That 1990s political ideology seems to have been grounded in star charts and celestial reckonings. Sure you wouldn't rather have the leeches?
