It is naive to think that we can take the Senate and retain the House, without a Romney win.

Elections just don't work that way.

A Romney win makes a Republican Senate MUCH more likely.

I disagree 100% with this factually inaccurate statement. The Republicans gained the House of Representatives in 2010 with Obama as President. We picked up a number of Senate seats (6?) and gubernatorial seats. I'm very proud of my state Wisconsin for electing Ron Johnson and keeping Scott Walker. We DO NOT NEED a Romney win to take the Senate. Not at all. We need to keep doing what we have been doing for the last handful of years -- and that is pushing conservative candidates forward and kicking liberal candidates (like Romney) to the curb. We keep doing that, we keep making gains. Once we stop, it's back to status-quo. A Romney win DOES NOT make a Republican Senate more likely. Just the opposite. Obama handed us the House on a silver platter, not John McCain.

To do what? Water down or stop everything conservative coming from the House that Boehner doesn’t stop?

Working “across the aisle” with left wing libs and RINO’s to “get something done” regardless of the damage it causes?

Growing the size of government just slower than the Dems?

Let’s face it, the GOP hasn’t got a good track record when it comes to running the Senate.
