serious post I want to give a serious answer. I think there are 2 factors that lead toward republicans having any power at all.
they appeal to
1) the religious minded, america is far more religious than other first world countries and that lends itself to conservativeness.
2) money. the dream and idea that they will one day be rich and should not pay a lot of taxes. even the obama plan that goes back to pre-last president tax rates for the top 2%
But the reality is that there are 79 more dems in the congress and that will drive Obama to the left and they are only 1 vote away from not having any power at all in the senate. And probably 2 liberal appointments to the court during the obama first term should change things for the better.
