So let me get this straight. Congressional approval ratings are at an all time low throughout the entire country. It is a Republican controlled congress.

So in response this, the the electorate in their infinite wisdom decide that yes, electing more Republicans to the house And giving them the Senate too is a good idea that will make things better.

Am I understanding this correctly?

Here's a "local story" from New Jersey relayed to me by a friend who is in Runyan's old district.

The current, retiring, representative is a Republican who used to play for the eagles for those who didn't know.

Jon Runyan becoming a GOP Congressman in the Tea Party wave is a weird bit of Eagles history. Like Jim Bunning being a Senator from KY/

Depends on the margin. If its 51-49 then the Dems take it but if the GOP gets to 53 or 54 it's a lot trickier. The only 2 likely D pickups right now are PA and IL and PA might stick with Toomey.

dammit I was feeling good about Corbett losing why did you have to remind me that Toomey is still Senator. :suicide:

If Warner pulls it out and wins, it's really not looking that awful. The expectation is 52 or 53 republican senate seats, which is on track at the moment.

I mean it's still bad but given the electoral map and Democrats being morons at campaigning, it could be so much worse.

Its the principle of the loving thing. This loving state circle jerks itself about being "independent" and non partisan and thus always elects a loving Republican into a position of power FOR NO loving REASON.

Because we refuse to be labeled, and it's basically "A single position of power which is countered by every single other position of power". We got functional universal health coverage under a Republican governor, it doesn't mean poo poo.
