If the GOP wins Congress in 2010, is Obama more or less likely to be re-elected?

[Derek]

Less likely because Obama just never learns his lesson. He will look like he's shifting the blame. Obama faces the toughest election in 2012 that I can find in any recent history. When you're in the majority games can be played too with the other party. In 2002 and 2003 the media was comparing Bush to his dad for being popular but not reelected. Now it's Obama being the next Clinton. History won't repeat itself. However, anything could happen and the election is a long way away.

I agree with the Bob Dole statement. Also, the best thing for the GOP is if we win 215 in the house and 50 in the senate. That gives dems the tie breaker in the senate while some of their party still doesn't want to vote for Obama's ideas. In the House dems still have "control."

[Derek]

Bush was reelected unlike his dad. Obama will be voted out unlike Clinton.

Not true about unemployment. If unemployment isn't below 7.5%, Obama is toast. Anyone could beat him whether it's Romney or Tom Delay. Also, don't underestimate the GOP's ability to make ads stating that our tax dollars should go toward defeating the terrorists and not towards their defense attorneys.
