Tea Party candidates will do worse than expected, and "traditional" Republicans will do better than expected. Aside from a rash of "Obama's-in-trouble-now" stories on the morning of Nov. 3, nothing will materially change in Washington. Agree? Disagree? | |||||

Paid Disinformation Blogger Level: 14 CS Original | Agreed. If the economy doesn't improve, which it probably won't, it'll take the heat off Obama, and in 12 he can campaign on a "do-nothing Congress" theme. That handed re-election to Truman in 1948. Plus the Republicans will be so wild, crazy and overzealous that they'll overreach and show everybody why they hated them so much in 2006 and 2008. I still think Obama's going to cruise to re-election without breaking a sweat. | |||||

Paid Disinformation Blogger Level: 14 CS Original | You mean they're still doing landline polling? What, is this 1936? *points and laughs at pollsters* | |||||
