The Senate is very likely to pass into Republican control during the next election. I hope we are smart enough to add to the number of Conservatives. If they are establishment Republicans then we are only marginally better off.
It is highly unlikely that the House, the Senate, or the WH will pass into conservative hands after the next election, or anytime in the foreseeable future. Now, all of the above could well come under Republican control, probably will, in fact, but the change will be about as momentous as the change from Republican to Democrat control back in '06.
My prediction is that the growth of government will continue unabated, the debt will continue to grow, illegal immigration will continue, our liberties will still be under attack, and money and partisanship will continue to dominate in Washington.
When the economy finally begins to turn around, the party in power will cheer and declare that their policies, which really aren't any different from the policies they replaced, are the reason. The party out of power will declare that they started the ball rolling last time they were in power.
Meanwhile, money and partisanship will ensure that nothing of substance gets passed in Washington.
Oh, and it will no doubt be colder in December than in July.
That last prediction is the least certain of any of them.
