6 DAYS TO DECIDE: Both Parties Predict Control of House
 

GOP chief Michael Steele forecasts a wave of anti-Democratic voting on Election Day while his Democratic counterpart, Tim Kaine, says a strong get-out-the-vote effort will hold back a Republican takeover of Congress

I predict that whomever wins both sides of congress accomplishes nothing in the next two years... :doh:

It sounds like a very likely scenario.... :hmmm:

Even that would be an improvement over the current spend like theres no tommorow policys.

I'm afraid that ending reckless spending would be an accomplishment and thus not something congress will do after the election. :cry:

The GOP will win control of the House, the Dems will retain control of the senate, so gridlock ahead for the next 2 years.

I predict that the government will continue to spend like there's no tomorrow, regardless of who's in charge.

Republican control of both, or just one as long as the Senate has a filibuster option (unlike the recent disaster of a supermajority democrat senate—remember that Bush did nothing without the consent of the dems, he had bare majorities, unlike Obama) is a good thing.

Downside is it will improve Obama's chances in 2012 since he'll be forced into the center by congress. Americans want a centrist (center-right, if anything), which is what Obama ran on (even though he was clearly lying given his record (the part he allowed us to see, unlike, say, his previous records which were "lost")).

God willing...

And further that if side-in-control wins, side-out-of-control will blame the other side plus the president for the sins of the world, and if side-out-of-control wins, side-in-control will blame the other side for gridlock and opposing their grand plans.

I also predict that whoever wins, WE lose.

Agreed.

My prediction is that Team R wins the House and Team D retains control of the Senate. Regardless of who wins and loses, the game remains the same.

:yep:

Anything that places a speed bump on the raceway to socialisim is a 'win' as far as I'm concerned.

Not so much team R vs team D but rather a re-establishment of common sense and accountability. In other words a move towards conservatisim.

I guess I'm a little more optimistic than you guys and hope for the best.

Senate is a toss up, House will go Republican.Obama will not move to the center, too much of an ideologue and even if he did, people won't forget so easy with him.

Best case they take control of both houses so they can cut funding for obamacare while the case for repeal is making it's way through the courts.They can make sure things like cap and trade do not become law.They can stop the lavish spending and express lane towards socialism. Basically, Obama will not have a blank check anymore. Hopefully GOP will launch some investigations into Obama, which is absolutely what needs to happen.

GOP only takes the house and picks up Senate seats, well that will be nice too, will take away their majority and the so called "moderate Republicans" who are left who have to run for election in 2012 have been put on notice by voters, so they will be less likely to vote for the not so american policies pushed by Dems.

However it works out, it'll bring back some balance and take away Barry's free reign he has enjoyed for two years.

Truer words were never spoken.

Only eight more days and the political ads go away for awhile. :yeah:

That's about all that will change. :dead:

What a relief, :yep:

If it were only a move towards conservatism, but it isn't. Rather, it is a move back to Republican Neo-Conservatism. We've been seeing it since 1994, and it is something I have a hard time being optimistic about.

The Neo-Cons were firmly rejected by the voters two years ago, and rightfully so. However, due to our crappy two-party system, the alternative was to vote for their opposites, the Progressives. Since they have faired no better during their tenures, they will be voted out and replaced, again, by the Neo-Cons. Until viable choices are available as third, fourth and fifth parties, America will continue to be on a treadmill. Hardly anything worth being excited about. As krashkart said, we can at least be thankful that those ads will disappear.

And my prediction is that no matter what the outcome it won't be as bad as we fear, nor as good as we wish. It will be OK.

Neither party is going to upset the status quo as both sides have too much to lose.

It will be OK. :yep:
