Despite the polling in Senate races, does a Romney victory help the chances that we may also have a chance to win the Senate?
Enthusiasm on the right should mean decent coattails for Republican candidates down-ballot. Fingers crossed we get a lot of people voting straight “R” ticket as a middle finger gesture to the Marxists on the left, regardless of what they think of each individual Republican candidate. If the R candidate sucks, boot them in the mid-term. Better yet, primary them in the mid-term.
I hate to overemphasize the similarities, but this feels so much like 1980. In that contest, Reagan swept in a R Senate majority for the first time in eons. It held for 6 years and has gone back and forth ever since. Before 1980 it had become pretty inconceivable to have a R Senate majority.
