The fact that all members of the House have to run every 2 years should lead to a big turnover in 2010. Mid-term elections should be a big indicator for 2012, if the GOP wins and gains at least 1 majority 0bama should be history in 2012, if then GOP loses more ground, they should go hat in hand and beg for a government bailout and some new leadership.

I’m not particularly hopeful about the midterm elections. If you look back to the great depression, FDR was able to get his machine in place and steamroll the opposition using federal dollars and new deal programs. People kept voting for the democrats because they were hoping that federal money would end up in their pockets if they just kept voting and waiting. It took a court packing scheme and interference in the Senate majority leader pick to get the democrats to start pushing back.
