Ok, so what's everybodies predications on the upcoming 2010 congressional elections?
I think republicans will take a sweeping majority in the House, and will get huge gains in the senate (but won't regain the majority).
Key races to look out for are:
California Senate: Carly Fiorina (R) vs. Barbara Boxer (D)
Delaware Senate: Christine O' Donnell (R) vs. Chris Coons (D)
Nevada Senate:Sharon Angle (R) vs. Harry Reid (D)
Florida Senate: Marco Rubio (R) vs. Chris Cristie (I)
I also predict republican victories in every single one of these races, even though they are very tight races.
I realize there's nothing religious about this, but I thought it'd be an interesting discussion in light of the upcoming elections. If moderators feel this is inappropriate they can delete it or lock it.

I agree. I hope they gain the majority as well as it may calm people down a bit.winepusher wrote:I think republicans will take a sweeping majority in the House, and will get huge gains in the senate (but won't regain the majority).

Lets face the facts... The vast majority of Americans who can vote, are lazy and choose not to. Until you can vote online or from your phone then the number of people voting especially in the non-presidential election years will be ridiculously low.
As to the results of the elections, honestly it scares me a little. Judging by some of the people who made it past the primaries (O'Donnell? really?) I am afraid for our country. I feel as though people are just going to be voting for whoever is not a democrat. Where I have no problem with that as I do not like either party, I feel as though some republicans are going to have a very easy time getting elected when they are not the best candidate.

Yes, no matter who is in power the party who is not can spin all the current problems on the current administration and sway the voters.
I wish one politician could present a sound, logical argument for their position and actions. See if one can follow the rules of this forum... lol.

Exactly. And the TV "news" are as guilty as the politicians for the spin.board wrote:Yes, no matter who is in power the party who is not can spin all the current problems on the current administration and sway the voters.
