And, why must we control the Senate? We had both houses under the first 4 years or so of GWB’s term and they did nothing but expand big government, just like the Dems - they didn’t cut any of the alphabet organizations that should have been shut down either - so, I’m jaded right now that the Rs will do anything different than the Ds have done. They’re all the same - UNIPARTY is a good term!
I think most people are far more awake now than under Bush...and the threats to our country are FAR more obvious. It will make things much worse for Obama if he refuses to sign legislation that offers real solutions for our problems.
For impeachment purposes alone (think trial), we need the Senate.
