Supposing Romney wins and a Donkey-controlled Senate obstructs everything he and the House propose, it should set up a GOP / Tea Party romp in 2014, particularly if the economy stagnates.

I doubt that. Who took the blame in 2008 after Democrats controlled Congress for 2 years? People tend to blame the White House. That will be proven beyond a doubt again if Romney beats Obama but Dems keep the Senate. And the Dems, knowing that, will try to make life as miserable for Americans as possible over the next 2 years to pick up seats in 2014.

This year is a huge opportunity for getting Dems out of the Senate, with many more up for election than Repubs. If they can't succeed this year, it's a major failure for the party and I'm not sure if they'll have as good a map in 2014. And if Romney's first term fails because of Dem sabotage, Repubs will get slaughtered in 2016 on all fronts.

That depends on whether the New Media can discredit the Liberal Stream Media, and how good of a communicator Romney could be. The trends so far are encouraging. Also, Sens like Manchin, Lieberman, or Dems vulnerable in 2014 can be persuaded to vote the right way on important tax reform legislation and energy issues.
