There is a HUGE and as yet unfounded and unprovable assumption here. And that is that there will be a change of party majority in either the House or Senate or both after the November 2010 elections, and that this change will cause some dems to "jump ship" so to speak.

First, there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that there will be a change in either the House or Senate putting the rinos in a majority. The anger and/or hope upon which this assumption is based has cooled remarkably in the last few months....and continues to decline.

Second....there is little real difference between a rino and a dem. Except for the fact that the dems have a recognized "leader", and a party platform (rampant big government and socialism) to which they adhere religiously. Unlike the rinos who have no recognizable platform, no leadership, little morals, and no new ideas.

The current "throw the bums out" feeling is just that....a feeling! And, even if it came to fruition, there will be as many rinos unemployed as dems.

Last, given a very broad sword that cuts both ways in November....the new candidates that will get elected will have to be conservative to a fare-thee-well to make much of a difference at all between 01-2011 and 01-2013.

Therefore, I would not pin any "hopes" on a dem switching parties after the election. In most cases it won't matter if they did anyway.

Then you should probably give up right now...your impassioned rant ignored the basic premise of my comments..the GOP will make gains, in both the Hosue and Senate,and the GOP caucus in both bodies will be far moe conservative..consider the Senate, we could have Rubio, Toomey, Paul, Angel and others to add to DeMint, Coburn...that’s progress, and the caucus will be far more conservative, and aggressively so....

Really?

There is absolutely no polling data to support your assertion.

The GOP continues to lead the generic ballot. The number of endangered Democrats continues to grow.

The number of people who favor repeal of Obamacare continues to expand.

Obama's approval rating continues to go down the toilet.

With all due respect, there isn't much "logic" -- or "reason" -- to your contention.

Whether or not the GOP will regain control of either House or Senate remains an unknown. But the tide of public opinion is definitely flowing in their direction.
