Reply #47: Whatever "gains" the GOP makes in 2010

[Proud Liberal Dem]

will almost certainly be erased in 2012 IMHO when people vote en masse in the Presidential election. The thought of having a GOP Congress is horrifying after everything we've already been through and it's astounding that people have such short memories and/or are really *concerned* about President Obama and his agenda but once they see that the GOP essentially doesn't have much (anything) to offer and that most of them are just plain insane, hopefully, President Obama and the Democrats will be able to capitalize on their inevitable uber-obstructionism/fanaticism and strike back hard in 2012. It seems as though long term demographics indicate that, while the GOP will remain capable of winning elections, particularly in certain regions (i.e. the South), I don't see them as being able to sustain those victories, at least based on what I've read.
