Showing Original Post only (View all)RCP: Dems winning White House, LOSING the other House...BADLY. [View all]
Just a word of caution. DON'T GET COCKY, and DO NOT IGNORE THE DOWN BALLOT Democrats. According to the RCP averages, if the election were held today, Obama would win the White House by a landslide. That was the good news. The BAD news is that the Republicans would win the House by a landslide.
RCP Current Numbers: Here's what you'd see if the election were held today.
Presidency (Electoral College -no toss ups)
Obama: 332
Romney: 206
HOUSE (no toss ups):
Republicans: 248
Democrats: 191
SENATE (no toss ups):
Democrats: 52
Republicans: 48

If the election were held today, Obama would win the White House, Democrats would hang on to the Senate by a thin majority, and Republicans would have a large, 57 seat majority in the House.
In other words, we'd be right back where we started in 2010, with Republicans continuing to block everything, and keep government in a perpetual state of paralysis, if that's still what they want to do. Obviously, they won't have the incentive to clusterf--k the Country in order to satisfy their insane, psychopathological obsession with defeating Obama, but they may still play obstructionist in the hopes of getting larger majorities in 2014.
So, this is just a reminder to KEEP ORGANIZING THE GROUND GAME. Keep working on getting people registered, and getting out the vote. Obama may be in a good spot to win the White House, but if we don't win larger majorities in the House and Senate, he'll be in a hopeless position even if he wins.
