Hell yeah! And a more conservative House too. It’s time to clear out some of the detritus.

The House in 2014 was always a pipe dream for the Dems. The senate is the thing to be fought over.

...there is little hope that his party will win back control of the House and make Rep. Nancy Pelosi speaker again

America cannot afford for Nancy Pelosi to be speaker again.

Worst. Speaker. Ever. Pelosi Increased National Deficit Eightfold During Reign

The communists now own the elections. They run the polls and they count the votes. 2014 is going to be big for them. They’re not worried. Just do the same things they did in 2012.

If there were even a shred of integrity left in the United States, the only ‘indication’ would be impeachment.

Although, let’s face it, he should never have been allowed to run for office in the first place, as he clearly does NOT fulfill the constitutional requirements.

The only reason we would not gain too many more is that the GOP majority is pretty strong already, which doesn’t leave a lot of room to increase numbers.

If the Republicans play things right with the scandals, Obamacare implementation, the economy, and everything else that leaves Obama vulnerable, they could win the House and the Senate...oops! It’s the Republicans we’re talking about. WE’RE SCREWED!

I never ever want to see Nancy Pelosi in the Speakers Chair again, but By God I do not want to see Boehner there either.

If brains were dynamite neither would have enough to blow their noses.

If Republicans voted conservative, I would be heartened by this news.

I don’t know if 2/3 conservative majority control in each House is possible after 2014 elections. But do patriots understand that if conservatives had that much control in both Houses that conservatives would have constitutional authority under the Constitution’s Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I to override presidential vetoes? If conservatives had such control of Congress then Obama would practically be a lame duck president for his last two years in office, a lame duck president arguably being what the Founding States had intended by design for all presidents.

in 2010 the Democrats were down 30 million voters from their high in 2008. The Republicans were only down 15 million voters from that last election.

The Republicans won in a record landslide that left them in control of the House and 30 state houses and legislatures.

The GOP-e, then showed how much they relished that vote by convincing their friends on the RNC to fire the chairman.

They then subsequently lost again to Obama, didn't win the Senate, and almost lost the House.

If we have to go into the 2014 election with the current RNC leadership, we may very well lose it!

Believe it or not, the GOP could actually pick up a House seat In Minnesota of all places.

Collin Peterson is the ranking minority member of the Ag Committee (also a former chair when the Dems controlled the House) and a member of the House since 1990. There has been talk of him retiring in 2014.

His district has a fairly good GOP lean to it - although Dems can do well because of a fairly large number of farmers who buy into the old Grange/Farmer Labor/Non-Partisan League crap.

The district voted in favor of a gay marriage ban and for voter ID in the 2012 elections. it has a socially conservative bent to it. Mitt Romney won the district in 2012 as well.

For those of you geographically inclined, here’s a map of the district:

Pass amnesty and the Democrats will win the House by 40-plus votes.
