@josie, what difference does it make? With Democrats in Congress, we got a health care bill that will insure 30 million Americans; we have a financial regulation bill that will help reform banks and regulate the corrupt gambling system that led to the Great Recession; we have a bill that drastically reforms the student loan program; all of these bills will help reduce the deficit.
All of these bills are quite imperfect. Largely because no Republicans supported them whatsover, so they had to be negotiated with “blue dog” democrats and the one moderate Republican in the Senate.
I don’t see how it’s reasonable to say that there are no differences between the parties.
To answer the question, Nate Silver has a good track record of predictions; he says the Republicans will probably take control of the House but the Dems will keep the Senate. So unless more Democrats vote, look forward to absolute gridlock, nothing getting done in Congress apart from the occasional Repulblican House investigation into Barack Hussein Obama’s birth certificate.
