GOP should make significant gains in House and Senate in 2010

By
Property Manager with Gibson Management Group, Ltd.

All 435 house seats and 36 senate seats are up for election in 2010 as well as the Senate seat of Ted Kennedy which the Democrats are expected to retain after the January 19th election.

Republicans need to win 40 Congressional and 11 Senate seats to take back the majority.  Additionally, 37 governor spots will be selected in November so the GOP pendelum may well be swinging in the RIGHT direction.

Some of the Democrats' most prominent figures, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut, are in serious danger as they seek reelection.  Both would probably lose if elections were held today.

Dennis * no argument here.  I would have voted for Thompson OR Romney in VA primary given the opportunity.  

I sat beside Ed Gillespie, former GOP chair, at b'fast for new VA governor Bob McDonnell and he says Fred won't run again and Romney may have a better chance this time.

Wallace- I think this election is going to be historic.  I cannot wait to see Pelosi's face when the dems lose power.

We all need to pray for our country and the leaders.

Yes I also hope they don't screw it up this time.

Good point Wallace.  Only a liberal nut like Pelosi would sacrifice her own party's seats to pass something nobody wants.

Pauls son seems pretty cool and I dont think he is the type to attract the 9/11 truthers so he should get in.

The GOP will make gains in 2010, there is no doubt of this.  However I would only ask two things.  I hope that the ones that get in will be part of the good old Republican party, and none of the obstructive "just say no" people.  Next, spare us any gloating.  It's a given.

Wallace, great post.  Personally, I hope we get a bunch of just say NO people in there. 

NO - to socialist ideas. 

NO - to higher taxes. 

NO - to protecting terrorists rights. 

NO - to spending money we don't have. 

NO - to criminals in the White House. 

NO - to passing bills before reading them.

NO - to "too big to fail" bailouts.

NO - to Big government

Anyone have any other NO's you'd like to add?

Hope I didn't take over your blog Wallace.

I sure hope Hughe's fear isn't a possibility. But that thought has crossed my mind.

NO healthcare takeover!

NO cap and tax!

No changing the Constitution!!

Obstructive.  To what I would ask?  To the takeover of everything from banks, GM and every person vis-a-vis healthcare?

GLOAT?  Pleeease.  The dems are the kings of gloating.  How many times in less than 12 months have we heard the childish, "we won, so...."?

There are no criminals in the White House (now).

There are LOTS of obstructionists who just want Obama to fail at anything.  Wrong approach, sorry.

No one is going to be taking over health care.  In fact the insurance industry is going to get a sudden boom in business, as well as doctors and hospitals and all of the health care industry.  This is going to be big business, and maybe 30 Million more people allowed to have affordable health care.  Unfortunately this won't jump start the ecomomy for a few more years.

Who is changing the constitution?  bush/cheney should pushed the envelope didn't they?  They didn't change it, just disregarded it.

The banks have not been taken over, but the more serious bail outs need to have tax payer protection.  Part ownership with stock is OK by me, better than nothing.  But I don't like my holdings in Chrysler :-).

Please no gloating. It only backfires.  Remember the Senate Vote on Health Care Reform.  Premature gloating by Republicans caught them red faced.
