Why the GOP Won’t Win the Senate

6. The Blunt Amendment was nothing but political theater

I'm sure that no one in the Senate thought it would pass that chamber, it's just about getting "embarassing" votes on the record when Repukes want to bash Democratic Senators running for re-election, when talking to fundies and such.

It's way too early to figure out if we're going to hold or lose the Senate. Frankly, I think there will be a gridlock strategy that most independents will subscribe to. If it looks like a Rethug is going to win the White House (bad economy, war with Iran, etc.) then they will vote for a Democratic choice in Congress as an offset. I also think that if it looks like President Obama is going to cruise to victory in November, they may want a Rethug to impose a check on him.

Really, independents are the only people in this country who like divided government. They feel it keeps them safe from the extremes from both sides.
