According to FiveThirtyEight, there are basically 6 states in play which would determine if the Senate turns GOP, at this moment.

If those 6 states are split, the Senate will be split 50-50.

I still think the GOP will capture a majority in the U.S. Senate the next election.

Belief in something that contradicts evidence and reality is not something to champion or extol.

most thought Obama would never win either. the country seeks hope and change and they now know that they will not get it from the democrat party.

People elected Obama twice and they're not "tired" of him. Congressional races are local in focus, as much as anything else. The GOP legislatures have done a good job of drawing districts favorable to its candidates (just as the Democrats had done in years past). What people are tired of is gridlock and constant bickering - and who is responsible for that and for the inaction: The Congress. Study-up on oow our government is structured and the roles of each branch. The President isn't a dictator. Laws are adopted by the Congress, not via dictatorship. Some of the America-haters read comments from don't understand how our system of government works.

Pushing back the employer mandate is helping the Dems..... it shouldnt or wouldn't be this close if people were being pushed off of their employer provided insurance (like what will happen AFTER the elections).

The public is just stupid......

They don't feel any pain right now, so everything feels fine.

They elected Bush twice too and people got tired of him as well......and Obama won by a thin margin. Stupid conservatives stayed home because Romney wasn't "conservative" enuff! Protest non-vote!!

Hope ya'll happy.........
