So a six-seat pickup and a flip of control will not be a landslide victory for the Republicans.

As the election gets closer, watch as they keep moving the goal posts for what would qualify as a Republican landslide.

"Republicans picked up 11 seats in the Senate yesterday, falling far short of the 16 they needed to pick up to qualify as a landslide."

I honestly think that the Republican leadership is in sheer panic at the thought of winning both Chambers...That means that everything between 2014 and 2016 is on them no matter what Obama does before the end of his term...

Selective reporting, methinks...

Dummycrats are still smarting over the whomping they got at Obamacare townhalls. Seems Dummycrats aren't interested in facing their constituents over immigration.

2014 August Recess Town Hall Map lists 139 Republicans holding town hall meetings and 47 Democrats.

READY SET GO, PATRIOTS every townhall forum,
every blog, Facebook page, twitter, needs to focus on Immigration. ==============================================

Mmmmmmm......I can't wait to hear Dummycrats explain
to voters why they oppose the Republican border plan.

They need to grab 11 seats. A slim 1 vote majority just makes these dopes victims. What will they accomplish? I like that they get committees under their control, but they’re just caretakers until 2016 and a new POTUS. You have to have some depth to keep control.

2016 has 23 GOP Senators up for reelection and only 10 Democrats.
