Not to say that this will hold, it could go back down next week, but if people start liking the health care bill the republicans will find making big gains in the house and senate pretty difficult.

I still think they will gain seats, but I don't think they will take control of the house and senate. If they do take control of both houses I think it won't happen until 2012.
