Republicans could maybe take back congress with a big turnout in November. If our presidential candidate had long coat-tails and could really energize the base, it would make a difference.

Why are you laughing?

It's also possible that, if a less than desirable Republican is the nominee, committed conservatives may turn inward and concentrate on their Congressional candidates, rallying around them, and helping to get them elected. Having conservatives in Congress, and possibly taking it back from the Democrats, would go a long way toward countering any bad legislation supported either by a RINO, or a Democrat president.

True. I just can't see Clinton energizing the Dem base all that much esp. if the primary continues to be as nasty as it has been and blacks think Clinton is ganging up on Obama.
