In reply to the discussion: Someone said Rove's REAL target is the Senate - Romney is a diversion.... [View all]loyalsister
(13,390 posts)78. maybe...
In my hopeful moments.... I think that maybe they could keep the senate and even win a seat. If they miraculously gained some in the house and hold on to the presidency, it would be the slap in the face that would finally get republicans to join reality and stop acting like childish fools. That's definitely a high bar, but why not engage in optimistic thoughts now and then.
I am sure that there are some elements out there who will spend the next four yrs trying to deny Obama a highly successful presidency, just in case they don't get the presidency.

not really. Everyone is ignoring election fraud from 2008 because Obama won. There is a sophism

Constituents that aren't happy with the presidential nominee, are going to be less likely to vote.

makes so much sense! When Obama won last time, noone paid attention to stolen congressional seats.

Actually, Romney is so toxic he's probably going to hurt down-ticket candidates.
