Republicans poised to take Senate, retain House

Sweet. From the uberliberal newspaper The Hill:
BATTLE FOR THE SENATE
Republicans say they are on the verge of being able to wrest the four seats they need to regain control of the upper chamber (three if Romney wins), but Democrats still appear to be in line to barely hold on to the majority.
Things have improved for the GOP in Nevada, with Rep. Shelley Berkley’s (D-Nev.) ongoing ethics controversy hampering her chances of defeating Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) in that state’s tight race.
At the same time, increasingly nasty and expensive GOP primaries in Arizona, Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin have the potential to hurt the party’s chances come November.
In Florida, Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) has spent weeks fighting with the local media rather than focusing on Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), who is favored to win reelection.
BATTLE FOR THE HOUSE
The GOP looks to have a very good chance to retain the House, despite Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) claim that the odds of Democrats grabbing back control are better than 50-50. The national redistricting process shored up more Republican than Democratic seats, and a number of retirements by Democrats in tough seats present challenges for Pelosi and her lieutenants.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has, however, posted impressive fundraising numbers this cycle. Most independent analysts believe Democrats will pick up seats though falling short of the 25 they need to grab the Speaker’s gavel from Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio).

Just one comment: Obama works. He's the best. I can't believe we could ever do any better.

What the hell does that mean? The Hill is both chambers of Congress. One is controlled by the GOP and the other by the Democrats. So the Hill is NOT GOP and The Hill (the newspaper) is a liberal rag. Get your facts straight Lacy.
PS. you had awesome tits in Caddy Shack.
