re: #114 Dark_Falcon

I don’t agree. It think the GOP will make modest gains. The weirdo will cause some harm, but there will be enough good candidates and disgust with the Dems to cancel it out. However, if saidsame nuts proceed to force the GOP to engage entirely in protest politics in 2011-2012, then the GOP will see a large loss in 2012 and Obama will cruise to victory. Either way, my home state of Illinois has some excellent Republican candidates who are not crazies. I’m going to help them get elected in the small ways that I can help and then do what I can to make sure they stay same.

Agreed. There will likely be a swing of the pendulum. Obama is on track to becoming a lame duck next year.
