Political strategist Karl Rove congratulated himself on Wednesday for getting 10 predictions right for this year—and he forecast that Republicans will keep control of the House of Representatives and end up with as many as 51 seats in the Senate in next year’s congressional elections.
For 2014, President Barack Obama’s “disapproval rating will end higher than this week’s 53 percent” in the Gallup poll, Rove said in an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal.
“Republicans will keep the House with a modest pickup of four to six seats. The GOP will most likely end up with 50 or 51 Senate seats (in the former case, keeping Vice President Joe Biden fully occupied for two years presiding over the chamber),” Rove added. …

With Carl’s choices for new Senators, it won’t be any different than it is now.
Why does anyone still pay attention to this over-hyped airbag?
If HE has anything to do with it, it won’t happen at all. He will TRY to see to it that nary a Conservative is allowed to run. Should WE persevere, we will be defeating rove as well as his dem-light cronies.
Because he is anti-TEA Party AND anti-Palin. When Sarah makes her picks we will see where the grassroots stands. Until then, the press will try to keep him relevant. AFTER Sarah, game on.
The GOPe can always find a reason to not fight. Should the party control the US Senate, it won't have a veto-proof majority so it needs to compromise; if it gets a super-majority, it won't have the white house and so on.
Bush43 had the whole thing and the government grew at a greater pace than before.
Cool, then McConnell and Ryan can work together to cut Military pensions even more!/
(while sending more than the amount “saved” to the Egypt, Pakistan, Libya, etc etc,,,,)
I have no confidence that a republican win in 2014 will change the direction we are headed in anyway whatsoever.
“Bush43 had the whole thing and the government grew at a greater pace than before.”
Exactly, everyone forgets that detail. We had the Senate, the House, the white house, and a pretty good working majority on most supreme court issues. And what did we get? An explosion is spending, prescription healthcare, TSA, the creepy Nazi-sounding Homeland Security dept, and a war that’s lasted 3 times as long as our involvement in WWII.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
I do not trust Rove and what he has to say.
Now I am worried!
Certainly not when it comes to Rove’s type of big-government Republican.
“everyone forgets that detail. We had the Senate, the House, the white house, “
Maybe you forgot the detail that in 2001, we had the senate by 50-50 plus cheney until july 2001 when a senator from vermont flipped and the dems had 51 until 2003.
Basically, we had the senate for about 4 out of the 8 Bush years and never had more than 55.
Further: if they do it will probably be due to his nemesis tea party / conservative population.
BUT be advised... The GOPe does NOT want 60+ members of republicans in the Senate to override a Zero Obama veto..
It is always Kibuki Theatre.. in D.C.
Trying to stem OFF the tide of a total route of democrats..
Even IF that means the democrat media will ensure that this happens..
“we had the senate for about 4 out of the 8 Bush years”
That’s not a good defense. The GOP had amazing opportunities, and decided to follow the GOPe agenda 100%.
please explain term “Kibuki Theater” For Kabuki theater I could not find alternative definitions.
"..nom nom nom nom....no thanks to you mouse brain"
and we all should believe and trust this maggot Rove cause he supports only go along get along everyone makes money republicans?
This rove guy is garbage.
