It looks like Romney is toast. It also looks like the GOP is going to lose their bid to take back the Senate. Now the Democrats are crowing that they are going to hand the Speaker's gavel back to Pelosi.
Here is the danger. Yes, we have had gridlock in Washington, and unlike many here, I believe that gridlock is a good thing. So I am clinging to the hope that Republicans will keep their grip on the House, and that gridlock will continue. Because with Democrats in charge of all 3 branches, hell will break loose with their agenda. So far, I put the odds of the Dems taking back the House at about 5:1 against, but you never know. If the GOP can keep the House, then there will be good news for them in 2014. Enough Democrats will be in peril that Republicans can take back the Senate that year too. Even more gridlock.
Yes, I want to see Republicans beaten badly this year, so that sane people can take the party back from the fruitcakes that infested it. But I don't want to hand everything over to the Democrats either. This is why we at least need to keep the House in the hands of the GOP.
Final note: Things are falling apart for the GOP, and you can pin just about all of it on Romney, the worst pick the Republican Party could have made this year; much worse than McCain in 2008.
So what do you think?
