Our chances of winning the US Senate in the 2012 elections seems strong. We shouldn't lose sight of this. It is more important than beating Obama IMHO. It would be nice to beat Obama but it isn't necessary. What is necessary is controlling the Senate and the HOR and showing the GOP that RINOs can not win elections anymore and that conservatives can.
I don't think anyone's losing sight of this. In regards to importance, I have two words as to why POTUS is MORE important: Supreme Court.
