Mid terms in recent times usually favor the Repugs. The turn out are normally low and the party with the most committed and hyped up voters does better.

A la Contract with America and Tea Baggers.

I grok but those were weird, hyped up semi-movements initiated in pure political desperation in support of a flailing ideology.

Basically, death rattles.

You think there's one more?

it will still take super majorities to repeal Obamacare even they take the Senate

a lame duck that protects Obamacare is what I voted for anyway. By 2016 it will be too late to repeal it without throwing millions of PATIENTS off of the ACA

ALL HAIL OBAMA!

Lol.

I think it's more of slowing the roll. People, maybe not you guys are pissed off on all the scandals and lies. They want answers and to get to the bottom of thing before any more damage is done. Look at Harry Reid he is off his rocker and Pelosi just lies to the public. It"s a straight up nut house and dangerous.

I don't think it will in the near term, but it might before the 2016 election. If they gain control they can implement the law in full as written. None of this political game Obama is doing with it.

They call it the executive branch for a reason, something that party of "No" fails to grasp time and again.
