(Newser Summary) – Things are looking brighter for Republicans in the Senate, writes Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight.com. In his monthly ranking of which seats are most likely to switch parties in 2010, Republicans have made a big move. Of the 10 seats that look more likely to switch hands, seven favor Republicans. “While there are still plenty of opportunities for Democrats,” he writes, “I believe that Republicans are now slightly more likely to gain seats.” Here’s the top of the list, ranked in order of how likely they are to switch parties: Missouri (R-open): Still looks most likely to flip, despite fundraising gains by Roy Blunt. New Hampshire (R-open): Observers think Republican Kelly Ayotte’s too inexperienced to win. Connecticut (D-Chris Dodd): With the GOP primary up in the air, this is a toss-up. Nevada (D-Harry Reid): The majority leader now trails in polls against relatively no-name challengers. For the full list, click the link below.

If I thought this would be any better I'd cheer!
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that its people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms....The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson
Why is this a good thing? People switching back to what has already failed, which is wimpy Republican non-defense of small government, Republican corruption and the latest Republican knack for creating a looming National Security State, is surely a sign of madness.
Divided government is a good thing. Maintaining the facade means less "gets done", i.e. done to the peasants.
Anti-racism is code for white genocide
Amen!

Obama will be to the next (Republican) President what Carter was to Reagan. The Democrats are so stupid they don't realize they've cut their own throats.
The question is, will the Republicans do anything to undo the damage the Dems have done? the Republicans like big government as much as the left, just for other things. ------- Exactly. Both parties are leading us down the road to government control.

the Republicans like big government as much as the left, just for other things.
"If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute." --Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791
