We all hope that next year the conservative make huge gains in the House and Senate. We have seen it happen before, we could see it happen again. It happened to Clinton in '94. It happened to Reagan. It happened to G W Bush.
The American people tend to distrust "one party" control of the government, so they tend to elect the opposoing party to numerous Congressional seats in mid-term elections.
To be honest though, I hope that only enough conservatives win next year to slow down the O-train, not completely stop it. Why? Well, back in '94 Bill Clinton was well on his way to breaking every campaign promise he ever made, raising taxes, cutting military spending, and forcing "Hilary-care" down the country's throat. The Republicans made a huge come back and re-took the House and Senate. They stopped Clinton and forced him to sign laws that made this country what it was during the rest of Clinton's two terms. That was a great victory, but it resulted in a defeat in the '96 Presidential election and also cost the Republicans a few seats.
So even though we all hope that there are conservative victories in 2010, lets hope that the end result is not another victory for Barack.
