      Yep. five thirty eight has his projections as the republicans with 235 seats in the house (the democrats will have 200) and the democrats holding the senate with a 52 to 48 margin. He has been pretty accurate in the past so it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

        Actually that's good so in 2012 when things are still shit they can't solely blame the dems. And since the dems and Obama were only entitled to 2 years to fix things in 2012 those republicans deserve to get voted out of office for not getting things fixed. Can't have double standards you know.

            Will be interesting to see for sure. The biggest races this election are for governor because we just had a census. The governors, state by state, will redraw the districts prior to the 2012 elections.

              CNN is now saying 52+ seats to the republicans. More than in 1994.

                Can underestimate teh stupidity of American to vote against their own interests. Fact is the majority of Americans don't even vote and those that do are uninformed on most issues.

                    Welcome to two years of do nothing grid locked government.

                    The real question is who will the voters blame in 2012 for the absence of government they'll be experiencing the next two years.

                    Standing presidents tend to be lightning rods for public discontent, so I'm guessing this will play out well for the teabaggers and bible thumpers.

                      Nothing much will change. Two parties that actually stand for very little except making sure those who have paid for their votes get what they paid for. Just a matter of whose lobbyists you like more.

                          saying no to out of control borrowing and spending is a good thing amongst the intelligent.

                              I agree, it sucks.

                              The democrats and the Obama administration are 100% to blame for the outcome of this election though.

                              They shoved a health care reform package that the majority of the American people did not want. An unconstitutional demand that all Americans buy health insurance. Never has the federal government had the right to coerce every citizen to purchase a good or service.

                              He's implemented legislation and policies effectively nationalizing financial institutions, automobile companies, health care and many other previously private interests.

                              He's also actively pursuing cap-and-trade legislation giving the government unprecedented control over the economy and American businesses.

                              Obama and his administration undermined our constitutional system of checks and balances; ignoring procedures and the rule of law; assaulting the very pillars of traditional capitalism.

                              Achieving all of this because he was supported by large majorities in Congress. He set the election results today in stone months ago.

                              Like I said in another thread, the American public has spoken. The message is clear, we don't want Obama to freely continue on his destructive war path.

                                So was the electorate uniformed and voting against their own interests when they elected Obama?

                                  Yet on CNN tonight they were reporting that exit polls showed that the economy was the #1 concern for 68% of voters today. Health care and the health care bill only got 14%.

                                  So Obama rammed a lot of this down the throat, but in the end it is mostly about the economy. While he and the democrats were busy trying to force thought the health care bill and pass their pet projects the should have been focusing on real world solutions to helping the economy get back on track.

                                    Yes, but both the current state of the economy and health care bill go hand in hand. Obama spent 18months making health care reform his number 1 priority.

                                    Almost every democrat who stood by Obama's health care plan and agenda LOST, by a big margin.
