6. Republicans will probably maintain narrow control of the House in 2014 due to gerrymandering

What I've read is that Dems won't have a great shot at controlling the House until 2020. Republicans will control it by a thread.

The GOOD news is that 10 (!!!) Senate seats are possible pickups for Dems in 2016. Think about that!

It's just what I've read, and hopefully the reality will be even more positive.

One thing I feel pretty sure of - we're not going to see a Republican president again for 20 or 30 years - maybe not ever, with the way the GOP seems determined NOT to learn.
