Elections to the United States Senate are to be held on November 6, 2012, with 33 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections whose winners will serve six-year terms from January 3, 2013 until January 3, 2019. Additionally, special elections may be held to fill vacancies that occur during the 112th United States Congress. Currently, Democrats are expected to have 23 seats up for election, including 2 independents who caucus with the Democrats, while Republicans are expected to have only 10 seats up for election.

I'm hoping. We need more than a Republican president, Republicans need to take back total control of Congress.

No

Republican U.S. Senators haven't done anything good on my behalf.

No

Polls say the Dems will hold the Senate 51 to 49. The only reason they will lose seats on aggregate is that they have more up for reelection. .

Yes

There is an excellent chance that the senate will be majority Republican next year. This will give them huge leverage, even if Obama is re-elected.

Yes

I certainly hope so. Something has to happen to get the country moving in the right direction again.

It was clearly the majority vote, the people had spoken. But Of course, you, like a true liberal believe that you are smarter then most. We have plenty of Democrats in Washington that thing the same way. They are the elite group that insist on making decisions for everyone regardless of what others might think or want.

Morning... to paul 2012/07/06 21:06:59

funny paul don't think i'm smarter i am just more informed where as you and like-minded prefer ignorance...Oh that is such bull paul - who is trying to make decisions for EVERYONE?? - the religious fanatics who ignore the Roe v Wade decision, catholic priests and right-wing repubs telling women they must have vaginal ultrasounds, Repub govenors telling workers they can't collectively bargain, repubs and right-wingers telling gays they can't marry - who is telling who how to run their life!!!

reply
paul to Morning... 2012/07/06 22:16:16

Roe v Wade decision, I’m not touching that one. I don't know where life begins and neither do you. But of course, you are more informed.
Who was it that coined the phrase, collective bargaining?

2010 was the public being impatient. 2011 was the public stopping the ones that they elected in 2010. 2012 will get them all out.

I think it may depend on who wins the presidency, on which way the senate sways. If Obama should win the election again, then it's very possible the senate may go republican, to get anything done, because we have found out too many dems and reps in the mix, sometimes just doesn't get the job done.

ALOT or A LOT -- A large number or amount; a great deal:
