The likelihood of a Republican Senate takeover continues to increase with all three major election models giving the GOP at least a six in ten probability of winning the six seats the party needs to win take back control.

The trend lines in both the LEO and FiveThirtyEight models highlight movement over the past week toward Republicans -- with a slight tick back toward Democrats in the last few days."

A united Congress can stand up to an out of control President much more effectively than a divided Congress

Republicans will control the hearings for confirmation of Obama appointees. Again, committee chairs, not Obama, and not the Majority Leader will control the levers of power.

What you said, I agree with.

Just what I was saying, if they take the Senate we have to pressure the living freakin’ hell out of them because now they have absolutely no excuse not to impeach this bastard. I’m ready to call my congressman every single hour of every single day if that’s what it takes, I will drive him absolutely nuts.

But at least we have a better chance of stopping the Democrat machine that currently is stirring up the embers to finish us off into ashes.

As we must eliminate everything that the Left has created within our system of government so nary a spark remains for them to ever fan back into a leftist flame, we have to prevent them from eliminating all the conservative republican sparks we can fan back to flame.

This forthcoming election is our chance. Just have to get every conservative possible out there to vote, and vote for the non Democrat that IS going to win so we have the Senate, and the House on our side to battle Obama, and his sponsors.

I dunno. Buchanan may still be the worst. It’s pretty bad when the Civil War starts at the end of your term

Still has two years to go.

FORGET all that! They have to file articles impeachment and remove this son of a bitch ASAP. That should be priority #1 ASAP. He is an ENEMY of the United States, he’s committed 6 blatant acts of treason now he’s going for #7 with issuing 32 million green cards to foreign invaders, this is what Democrats put into the White house. I do not give a damn if Republicans think it will affect the next POTUS election, this scumbag has and is siding with the enemies of this country and DELIBERATELY doing things to harm it! Impeach him, let Biden take over, he’s too stupid to do anything. This psychopath Obama on the other hand, God knows what he’s been setting up for the past 5 years.

6 in 10 is 60%. It may happen but I can’t help think we are being set up for yet another defeat. What can polls do against dems’ dirty tricks?

Buchanan doesn’t even come close to the Obama Holocaust. Besides ALSO bringing the country to Civil war, Obama is also supporting and empowering foreign enemies of the US, plus assisting foreign invasion! I mean I could sit her for the next hour listing all the crap Obamas done that is a million times worse than anything Buchanan ever did. Did Buchanan ever arm foreign enemies of the US and defend them when they killed 4 Americans including a US Ambassador? Did Buchanan ever trade 5 avowed enemies of the US for a traitor then defend the traitor? The only similarity Obama has to Buchanan is he is also a homosexual President.

That's a completely unrealistic and irrational expectation. Removal through impeachment requires a vote for removal by two thirds of the Senate. Even in a best case scenario, Republicans will not have the votes and the Democrats would never vote to remove Joseph Stalin if he were a Democrats.

The merits of your case unfortunately do not matter. The Republicans will not have the power to do what you demand.

When was the last time the Republicans had “REAL” LEADERSHIP. I think the GMO Foods have something to do with it. Do the research!

538 has gone up from 59% to 62% as of today over the past week. Don’t know what this article is referring when they say back tick.

Do not get complacent with all the predictions of easy victory in 2014. Cilizza and his liberal cohorts are trying their best to suppress republican voters. Be sure to vote against all democrats. That is the first step. Next step: new ML & HS.

McConnell will replace Dingy Harry as Speaker of the Senate (or whatever). Isn’t that thrilling?

Hopefully we will get new leadership.....Senate majority leader Tom Scott (R SC)

That will only happen if Mitch McConnell drops dead before January 2015.

[ Hopefully we will get new leadership (Speaker Dennis Ross R-FL) and Senate majority leader Tom Scott (R SC) ]

If the old Bulls in leadership stay in we will have to fight them on amnesty like was done when Bush was in office...
