I am still hopeful that Obama will lose, but I'm not optimistic. Our best hope is that the Democrats will not break the 60 seat barrier in the Senate. If the Republicans can hold enough Senate seats to block the socialists from complete control, then we can survive until 2010.
In 2010, the Republicans will be poised for a landslide takeover of all levels of government, just like 1994. Hopefully, the Republicans won't blow it this time.
Absolutely. It's a huge advantage.

Most speculation I've seen is that the Democrats will have around 57 or 58 seats...but it could break by 2 or 3 either way. If they get 60 seats it's going to be real ugly.

The party that's not in power at presidential level usually (but not always!) gains seats at that point in the cycle.
