No disrespect intended—But if the GOP did capture the Senate, and held the House, what would change from the way things are today? GOP favored legislation wouldn't die on the vine in the Senate and would actually get to Obama's desk. He would actually have to either sign it or veto it, but he couldn't continue to argue that we have a "do nothing congress." Remember, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid got rid of the rules preventing a minorty from stalling votes in the Senate. We could use those rules against the Democrats in 2015 and 2016. We could inflict lots of damage on Democrats by passing popular legislation and having Obama veto much of it.
