Harte Posted February 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2014 It looks like the Dems will cede the House to the Republicans this time around in an attempt to hold power somewhere: Democrats: Cede the House to save the SenateWith Democrats’ grasp on the Senate increasingly tenuous — and the House all but beyond reach — some top party donors and strategists are moving to do something in the midterm election as painful as it is coldblooded: Admit the House can’t be won and go all in to save the Senate.

preacherman76 Posted February 1, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2014 It isnt odd. This adminisration clearly owns the main stream. Even the ones who pretend their not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp Posted February 2, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hasn't this been accepted for a while now? From what I understand the Republics were always expected to do well with the mid-term elections since they didn't have many seat up for grabs. It was only the idiocy of the government shutdown that raised question marks. The Dems likely aren't making that big of a deal since they're prospects in 2016 are looking good.

Harte Posted February 2, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Statements that make me scratch my head... In Congress, the Republicans have 24 Senate seats up for re-election while the Dems only have 10 to defend. The entire House is up for re-election (of course) but it looks reasonably safe for Republicans - at least right now. Also, the Republicans don't have a good Presidential candidate - yet.

Corp Posted February 3, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Statements that make me scratch my head... As Harte said the GOP has more seats up for grabs. Plus demographics are turning against the Republicans with Texas becoming a swing state in the coming years. Unless the GOP stops doubling down on the crazy they might be looking at a grim future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that might be a fact, what is sad about the situation is that the Dems seem to be the only alternative people are willing to consider.

Corp Posted February 3, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yep, that's why it'd be nice if the GOP either snapped out of it or just imploded so a new party can step up and take their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Silver Thong Posted February 4, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Statements that make me scratch my head... Ya like there is a difference between the two partys. They share the same bed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Paul with Jesse Ventura as vise president. That would actually make sence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
