There's no chance of getting to 60 senators this cycle

The Dummycrats are defending 23 of the 33 Senate seats up for election this cycle. Getting to 60 R's would be a stretch. Anything's possible though. If it looks like Obama is going to get re-elected, people may look to electing a Republican Congress (House & Senate) as a way to check his power.

Still, Obama's over-use of EO's, CZARS, the EPA etc.. is enough to send chills down my spine that there's just no way in hell I want him re-elected. Obama will simply try to go-around Congress with EO's and force everything to the Courts. With how "quickly" our court system moves, the damage Obama can do with non-stop EO's is frightening.

People often do split their tickets that way -- in normal years. This year, as in 2006 and 2008, the 'Rats are calling out the dregs to join the plunder. We can always hope and pray.

If we can get close in the Senate, Obama's just buying himself multiple bills of impeachment -- and if that happens, all the BC stuff comes in, the SS card stuff comes in, Shirley Sherrod and the NBPP and Fast & Furious -- it all comes in on him. This time the Republicans will throw the kitchen sink at him ..... unless they want him as a fall guy for the economy still. It's hard to figure what the GOP's Walking Gods and Masters of the Universe are thinking.
