Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball » WHY DEMOCRATS COULD TAKE BACK THE HOUSE IN 2012

[t walgamuth]

sounds excellent.

[MS Fowler]

Dream on.

[elchivito]

Interesting reasoning. The rise in straight ticket voting, if it's for real, could make a big difference. Only 25 seats. Doable.

I think the more interesting possibility is 2014 if the president is re-elected and the GOP continues the "party of no" strategem.

Whether it will matter or not, depends on what happens in Congressional elections in November..

I predict the D's will have a big gain in seats in the house, and a gain in the senate as well.

[retmil46]

I predict that regardless of the elections, both houses will still do nothing worthwhile for another 2 years.

IMO I think my prediction has a MUCH better chance of coming to pass.

[retmil46]

IMO, straight party ticket voting = moron.

Regardless if it's for D, R, L, S, C, or whatever other party you can come up with.

I hope you're right. I'm generally content with gridlock. The less the a55 hats in D.C. "accomplish" the better, AFAIC.

Dems "obstructing" Reps, Reps "obstructing" Dems is fine by me.

Harry Reid....party of no?

[MagnumPI]

Whether they do or don't, I predict an increase in government intervention and spending.(foreign and domestic)
