R's are a lock in the House until 2022, barring a black swan event. Gerrymandering has seen to that quite nicely.

No doubt about it, she's waiting on the 2014 midterms to make a decision.

What do you think?
R's have to play too much defense in the senate in 2016 in terms of the seats that are up- the balance of power will shift back due to the differing electorate that comes out in POTUS cycles.

she won't care what they results are in the 2014 midterms.

if she runs and if she wins, she'll have a D senate but R house.

It's funny watching you both banter back and forth about which is worse when you are talking about the exact same animal. It's like arguing the difference between a Mallard and a duck. Neither is better or worse than the other. They are both owned by Corporate entities and don't give a flyin fert for anyone other than ingratiating themselves.

I think you are wrong. Where are you getting your facts?

These next two years and what is coming down the pipeline, are going to expose the Progressive ideology for what it really is. Fraud and swindle. Obama has been using his pen & phone, to push back things that are going to drop on us all, as his term gets closer to an end.

An incredibly idiotic assumption. If the GOP wins the Senate by 1 seat the Dems are well positioned to win it back since they have the map in their favor. Rush must really be spouting his usual fecal matter and getting his loser listeners all riled up

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the rest of us know the difference between paranoia and reality.

Don't bet on Obama being the decisive issue in 2016. Both parties are already moving away from continuing to run against a President who will be leaving office by then.

so now one shoe has dropped.

Where is that thread where we all predicted the net gain/loss in the 2016 US Senate? IIRC I predicted +6 for the GOP, and it looks like I was off by 33 percent.

She will run and even if not elected in general election the Clintons partially win their prize. Remember Clinton controlled the democratic committee that writes the platform candidates run under. In 2008 they loss committee control to progressive liberasl under Obama. If she gets nomination she replaces those people.They control the platform basically. Every democrat in the nation will be under that platform to support or they will not get funding from national committee.

I predicted 9 seats picked up for the Republicans.

gop has 22 spots up in 2016, dems only have 9, and the only one they may lose is bennett in colorado, reid will win if he runs again.

shes going to get the highest percent of woman vote in history and 70-80 percent of the minority vote.

she, like obama, does not need the white male vote.

Cliven Bundy could beat Reid in Nevada, today.
