Of course the media isn’t talking about this. The Democrats were given a resounding whipping last November and they are afraid it will be even worse this time around. I know we still have a year before the election, but I think we have a good chance of taking the Senate and building our majority in the House.

Interesting information to have. I hadn’t thought of it in that way, but you are probably correct.

It’s possible, but the tea party doesn’t support candidates so much as it does certain policies. They will work to get conservatives into congressional seats, but I don’t expect them to be too active in the primary until we get down to the conservative candidate vs. Romney. I know that the Tea Party Network and a New Hampshire tea party group have recently come out with endorsements for Cain and another one for Ron Paul.

You are right Larry, the Congress might actually be more important than winning the presidency because if Obama wins the Congress could control him with a Republican Senate, and the same is true if a Romney were to win. While still early it is interesting that the media isn’t talking about this, I remember when Bush was president they media loved speculating how many seats the Republicans would lose, but now there is hardly a mention.

Exactly, John. I think the outcome in the congressional races may very well be more important than the race for the presidency.

I didn’t realize the redistricting wasn’t finished yet. It still isn’t settled in Ohio?
