Let's not get overdramatic. They'll get thrashed, and Pelosi will lose her gavel, and Obama's handlers won't get to ram through any more bills. It's a setback, but they had a good run this time.

After Nov. 2, it's back to business, and time is short. They only have 6-8 weeks to ram through all the Marxist legislation they can and steer all the money they can out of the treasury and into liberals' hands. Probably stop up all the toilets with tissue before they go, too. It's the political equivalent of Russia's "scorched earth policy".

After January they'll be busy, too, obstructing any legislation the Repubs try to get through the house, and blaming all the troubles they caused on the Tea Party ("Someone to blame besides Bush, yeah!").

They'll get another opportunity, they know. Meantime, can you say "Hudna"?

I agree, Right Angler, that a few Rat Senators who weren’t expected to lose...will. The October surprise will be revealed on Nov. 2.

I plan to make a night of it, in front of the TV, with FreeRepublic on my laptop . . . watching the results come in.

It should be a very late night . . . oh what fun!!!

I thought there would be a slowdown of the voter tidal wave about to hit the Dems but all I see is the wave growing larger.

At this point, it’s possible that Democrats will end up losing only three or four seats, and they will count that as a good night.

Laughable WaPo

Screw the marxists that call themselves the Democratic party.

Time to send these red sons of bitches back underground.

I hope Toomey will win, but the pundits are saying he may be hurt by O'Donnell (she's running ads in the Philadelphia market to reach northern Delaware voters). The Republican establishment did such a good job demonizing her that they did the 'Rats work for them. They didn't intend to bring down Toomey too but that could be the consequence.

I hope not--and still hope that O'Donnell can pull an upset...again.

How many Obama media outlets has this dedicated Obama JournOlist Karen T worked at in the last few years ?

This Obama kool aid drinker keeps spreading the kool aid where ever she lands.

Not since the election of 1930 has the House changed hands without the Senate following suit.

It didn't change hands in the 1931-33 election.

The GOP held a two seat control in the House

You have to go back to 1916 for an election when only the House changed hands. Sen.Dem GOP Dem/Gop 1931–1933 47 48 1 - 216 218 http://arts.bev.net/roperldavid/politics/congress.htm

Did you see the promo they have set up for election night? Begins at 5 pm EST with Maddow, Matthews, Olbermann, Schultz, Buchanan, Williams, O’Donnel, and Scarborough. Geeze...talk about balance!

Darn! They put Madcow on before the fun really gets going. Olberman’s head will probably explode when the GOP goes over the top.

I know exactly what they plan on doing...filling up the extra time talking about everything that was going to happen that is now never going to happen...how Obama will be on his own...making him the Lone Wolf Supa Dupa Hero of tha Hood.

Call me a cynic, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I live in South Orange County. In the past week, I have seen three Barbara Boxer / Jerry Brown bumper stickers here in the last bastion for Republicans in California.

My faith is eroded, but I will continue to hope.

Like the saying goes, spit in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up first.

They’ll have to drag her off the dais with a winch. She’ll be sitting there with her eyes shut (a good trick for her), her hands over her ears, screaming, “I’m still speaker! La, la, la, la. I can’t hear you!”
