IMHO, for every single national election, only the House matters. As the House goes, so goes the budget, so goes the leverage of DC, so goes all the power. If we keep the house, and we will quite easily with a VERY solid majority, we’ve won it all.

True to some extent, but without the Senate we will not be able to entirely abolish Obamacare.

Randy Weber in Texas is having a real problem. Ron Paul’s old seat in Congress. Randy is one of the most Conservative Christian politicians I know and was my State Rep. One of the problems has been that Pete Olson, another Texas Congressman and, unfortunately, for my District, initially supported a left leaning Republican for Paul’s seat and she lost in the runoff. Just this last weekend Olson woke up and offered to help Randy. If anyone in Texas knows anyone in Randy’s district that hasn’t voted yet, please contact them and ask that they vote for Randy.

Yep, and the GREAT news is that the Tea Party freshmen are doing very well and we’re likely to have MORE conservatives in the House this term.
A Republican majority with enough conservative members that it’s difficult for the RINOs and Dems to combine against them like last term!

We will come close, may even make it.

Nancy Pelosi has spent much of the past two years proclaiming that Democrats had a great shot at reclaiming the House and returning the speaker

Yeah, but if that woman can't tell at least 25 whoppers a day on camera she gets fined by the Democrat National Committee.

As the House goes, . . . so goes all the power.

That was true when we were a Constitutional republic. Obama set horrible precedents of arbitrary rule via unelected agencies.

Exactly what has the Boehner House done with the budget over the past 2 years? Trillion dollar deficits. Raising of the debt ceiling. Fiscal cliff coming in January. Exactly how many entitlement programs has the Republican house defunded or cut over the past 2 years?

Winning the House only matters if you use the Constitutional powers. If your leadership doesn’t have the stomach for a fight, it is meaningless.
