Republicans looking for a comback in congress

Even though the midterm elections are still over year away Republicans are becoming excited at the sight of rising unemployment rates, a record federal deficit and the President's slipping support as signals of a possible way to sneak in and and takeover the majority in both the senate and the house. To do this the Republicans will need double-digit losses for the Democrats in both. The Democrats have the lead in the house by 78 and the senate lead by 18. While it remains unlikely that the Republicans will gain back all the necessary seats to become the majority they are targeting the seats that they haven't targeted in years. The main seats they are targeting are the ones held by Democratic leaders whose approval ratings are going down according to polls. The biggest targets for Republicans are the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, Barbara Boxer of California, and Blanche Lincoln of Nebraska.
In my opinion I am very much hoping that the Republicans are able to takeover the majority in both the senate and the house. The Democrats are doing an awful job and it is causing our country to be in the worst shape it has been in since 1984. We need people who will actually do what they say they will and so far the Democrats have not showed us that they are capable of that. I just want our country to get out of the massive debt that Obama has put us in, in less than a year, and keep us out of more debt that will be coming if the "stimulus" packages that Obama wants to put into action. We need people to help our country.
