Boehner's office tweeting out his refusal to consider tax-rate hikes -- as if to concede that O will win and so the Cliff Games must begin.

(12,287 posts)I know it's projected - but if all Obama voters vote Dem all the way down the line, why won't we pick up enough? it's only 20 some seats isn't it? I know one we'll likely get - it's a WI one.

(154,021 posts)I don't see any reason why that has changed. Some high profile repubs are at risk as well.
What would be fun is if Boehner is kicked to the curb tonight, like Newt was.

(52,162 posts)to take NC as an example. Obama will either win here or lose here by a very small amount. Of our 13 districts he will win 3 and lose 10. No that isn't a typo. It is an iron clad guarantee that Obama will win the 3 he will win by huge margins and that he will lose the 10 he will lose by decent ones. We will probably end up with a 4 - 9 split in the GOP's favor (a net loss of three seats).

(15,438 posts)President Obama has already got his game plan in place and I believe that will be a part of it IF the Republicans keep the House and will try their old obstructionism tricks.
