I have a feeling that the Democrats will take back the house also. In 2010 the Cons ran on jobs is #1 priority but instead ran the war on women, The American voters won't be fooled again.
All the GOP needs is 50 and they repeal Obamacare. They may lose two,but I think Heller keeps his seat in Nevada. Likewise for Mourdock in Indiana. The Mass polls are all over the place. Frankly,I think Brown loses for the same reasons Tester will in Montana,and why Berg will win ND. The states will go strongly to their candidate,Obama will win big in Mass,Romney in those states. Nebraska is a GOp pickup. That makes it 52-48 Dems. Then,they must hold onto Wisconsin(where Thompson has come back to take a small lead. I think he ends up winning there. Ohio is a pure tossup,it is. So is Virginia(though Romney is starting to do really well there. Let us not forget about Missouri,where it is now a race. So if the GOP wins 2 of those 4,not out of question at all,they will get to 50. This is not counting Florida,where polls are all over the place,but where things are trending for Romney.
Actually repeal takes 60. It cannot be done via reconciliation.
Vegas has the GOP probability of 50 or more at 16.7%.
How this happened is a mystery. 2012 featured over 20 Democratic unsafe seats just 3 months ago. This was the perfect opportunity for the GOP, and as of now, if close races stay with their present leader, the Dems will hold 53 seats.
Even if Romney were to some how get elected, he wouldn't accomplish anything because of a democratic control of the senate. Democrats will block GOP policies the same way house republicans have been blocking Obama's policies. The next 4 years would be the same or worse.

I agree, and I also think our next several POTUS' will face that. I do not expect to see 60 again in my lifetime, which means UNTIL moderates of both parties win again (INO(s), gridlock is a given.

I'd like to think you're right, but I feel the Pubs will hold the house. It'll be a slim majority, though.

LOL
You may very well be the only person on the entire planet who feels this way. Feel free to point us to the swath of political analysts that agree with your assertion, and then we can have a serious discussion.

I believe this is inaccurate. Obamacare was deemed a tax. Tax bills can be repealed through reconciliation. Feel free to fact check me on this.
