Galt still has his soiled Favre jersey from the 90s.

1. The GOP will most likely take the Senate. This is because of 2 things. One, a favorable map (Red State Dems defending after winning a wave election in 2008) and two, Presidents almost always lose their 2nd midterms badly (unless the other party does something really stupid politically).

2. If the GOP wins, it will be a very underwhelming win. Given the nature of the economy and favorable map, the GOP barely winning is a bad sign for them. They should be predicted to have like 55 seats comfortably in most of those races, but they won't/

3. The Dems will actually make decent gains in governor races. This will be another point against the GOP claim for a "wave" or people saying anything against Obama or for them.

4. What this election will be saying is anti-incumbancy, insomuch as it is possible. People are annoying with them and are voting them out in higher levels nationally and locally.


The GOP winning won't change too much so long as Obama uses the veto pen. It will suck for nominees, however.

The most awesome scenario would be a 50-50 tie with Biden making the tiebreaking vote. It won't matter, again, since the House sucks donkey dick but it would give some hilarity. Also, the GOP someone not regaining control in the most favorable election they will have for a long time would be absolutely hilarious.

The GOP should take control of the Senate tonight. But if they don't, lulz will be had.

while it is true the gop will take the senate, this isn't very much anti-incumbency. one third of european monarchs have lost their thrones in the last 2 years and something like 95% of incumbents in the house are safe, and i think more than that will actually win

i'd really like to see term limits. 2 terms in the house.

also: lol at spinning a GOP win as being "bad" for the GOP
