Sabato: GOP in Best Position in Decades to Take Senate in 2012

The GOP is poised to put the Senate in the win column in 2012 after securing its best starting position in decades as a result of state and national wins last year, University of Virginia political science professor Larry Sabato tells Newsmax.TV.

But the bad news for Republicans is that historical trends suggest President Barack Obama will win re-election, the author and noted election handicapper says.

“It’s early but I think the Republicans have a very good chance to take back the Senate in 2012 and if by some chance they miss it by a seat or so they are almost certain to take it in 2014,â€

plus there has been three Dems who say they wont run again in 2012

I don't see Obama winning in 2012. His job approval ratings are insanely horrible while generally people like him as a man as President independants and reps are massively against and dem's are even teetoring around 50% back and forth.

The best thing I think the GOP could do is to support a non big name. Toss out pallin, bush, romney, and huckabee. Go with someone not so well known who doesn't have loads of baggage.

I'd find myself really worried about voting for bush or pallin rather then thinking we can finally start to fix things if they win. Rather just hoping they don't do as bad as Obama. Midway feelings for romney and huckabee with very negative as far as illegal immigration.

I really think people could in dislike for Obama gather around someone of lessor renown with some good agenda's planned.

Far as the Senate goes unless some huge huge change before the elections happens I forsee a new Rep supermajority in the senate and house.

John "I gotta Give Them Amnesty No Matter What" McCain and his Trusty Side Kick Lindsey Grahmn will pull out all the tricks to keep the Liberals in Power that will make all of the Progressive RINO's Proud

Amnesty is the Game changer to keep the Liberals in Power

John McCain ~ Progressive RINO

Lindsey Grahmn ~ Progressive RINO

These 2 play the two heads on the same beast to destroy the Representitive Republic and usher in the NWO with Obama/Clinton and Bush Applauding VIGOROUSLY
