You think things are bad now....(and I have mixed feelings on all of it....I want Obama to finally realize his actions have consequences, but I also shudder to think of the Rs controlling both the House and the senate)

I put their odds of takeover 50-50 at best. The stupid party never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

If they do manage to take it over, they will likely ensure that the crazy party maintains the White House in 2014.

Gridlock, just the way I like it. If they can't get anything substantial done, they can't substantially screw it up further.
