""If the latest round of polls is accurate, Democrats will lose nearly every competitive Senate race, giving Republicans full control of Congress for the first time in 10 years

Instead of another two years of the same old gridlock that has turned voters off of both parties, Democrats will get to kick back with a large tub of buttery popcorn and watch the Republican soap opera hit peak suds.

In the House, the Boehner vs. Tea Party plot line will heat up, as several anti-Boehner party rebels are expected to win seats now held by more genteel Republicans. The Senate may end up more like a classic sitcom: Can two grandstanders like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz run for president at the same time without driving the majority leader crazy?

This writer is assuming failure. He is projecting the Democrats own incapabilities. He is not considering the potential for democratic members abandon ship, if the lawlessness shielded by Holder is not  continued by the next attorney general. Without Reed protecting them, democratic members of the senate will be exposed for their progressive roots, which is not popular.

How can can senators fail to pass budget bills in regular order, when they are forced to actually vote?  They can't rely on a government shutdown bluff, if the spending bills are reasonable.

Controlling both houses, regulations can be rolled back, unless Obama admits to the worst consequences of that regulation.  Debate will resume in the senate, and continue in the house, which the mainstream media will be unable to smother.

Only considering constitutional bills, and readable bills will hobble the ordinary legislative process.  With millions of people reading, understanding, and commenting on proposed bills, the sunshine on the special interests will force them out of the process.

But then, I am an optimist.
