Dems will probably lose the Senate too. Lots of Dems defending seats in Red states.
They probably will lose seats. The Senate? No. Flipping six seats is a tall order, especially for a party that can't keep the Tea Party from throwing away two or three Senate wins every cycle (DE, NV and arguably CO in 2010; IN, MO and arguably ME in 2012).
It's a state issue. Some states have set up nonpartisan redistricting commissions.
While I disapprove of gerrymandering, I support my state doing it as long as blue states are doing it too. (In fact, my state does it far less egregiously than a lot of the blue states do, though it is more because the Voting Rights Act keeps Republicans from doing extreme gerrymandering.)
Unfortunately, the Voting Rights Act is being threatened right now.....
There are 15 states with photo ID requirements for voting. Mr. Obama lost in all of them. In places with the weakest controls, specifically counties in Florida, Ohio, Colorado, and Pennsylvania, he generally drew turnouts in the 90% or greater range and won by better than 95% of the vote.
They are looking at numbers like those from Florida's St. Lucie County (where Mr. Obama got 247,713 votes from only 175,554 registered voters) are starting to question the legitimacy of the electoral results as reported.
Either way, what can you do. He's president legitimately or illegitimately we will never know.
Why are you LYING?? Yes LYING. St Lucie county did not have 141% turnout, they had a two page ballot, and you are counting each ballot has two votes. This is how insane the GOP has become....
Same thing was said about this year, and the Dems not only remained the majority in the Senate, but they added seats.
Well in Ed's defense, he did predict Obama's chances of being re-elected were 2.34% so he doesn't have a great track record with facts or data or anything.

To be fair, that was made by another poster, but Ed was predicting a Romney victory.

Oops, they are so easy to mix up with their wild claims....Ed was definitely the one who thought Oregon would go red, instead it went blue by 12%, even higher than I thought it would.
The GOP is flaming out and fighting for its life. Either the Republican idiots in the House do something to help this country, or their numbers will be severely depleted.
What about the Democratic idiots in the House (and the Senate)?
