Obama as President and a GOP Congress?

Awesome. Another four years of "vote down anything Obama expresses any amount of support for - even if you support it, too"

If the GOP takes the Senate, prepare to hear the hypocrites whine about the filibuster

this this and ALL OF THIS

but the BEST PART?
Obama can just veto anything that he wants.

defense bill with spending cuts in social services and education? VETO
tax cuts for the rich and screw the 99%? VETO

and with executive orders he can do anything he wants with EPA and SEC and any other new regulations.
bwhahahhahahaha

would be fun to watch the GOP FROTH
so much santorum

There is also a chance that Obama will spend this country into financial ruin, get us into unjust wars, pervert the Constitution to his own liberal ends, enact legislation that codifies Death Panels into law, and eat at restaurants where they serve three different types of butter.

Oh wait, that already happened.

There's also a chance that those afflicted with ODS will continue parrot ridiculous propaganda invented by right-wing blowhards.

Oh wait, that's been happening, is still happening and will continue happening until the end of time.

It is not my problem that Christian conservatives are a minority in this country and have to scream at the top of their lungs in order to get their voices heard. If you do not like it, then maybe you should raise my taxes, forcing me into longer and harder hours until I am exhausted from paying my dues to the United States of Taxsylvania?

Oh wait, that's already happening. I made 3.1 billion dollars in 2011 and I will have to give over twenty percent of that to the government. This is pathetic. Why should I have to pay for roads just because I used them? Of course I am going to use them. You put them there without asking me for my input. The only input you asked for was my money. Lol. Stupid libs. Stop raising my taxes.

Aww, he'll, I've forgotten how to combine my probabilities.

So, putting these together and pretending for a moment these odds mean anything, does any FARK math nerds want to list the % chance of Republicans getting both houses AND the White House?

/shudder

I was told there would be no math

Roughly the same as the odds of the U.S. collapsing into fiery death and destruction.

Who are the 46%? Who are the lunatics who actually think the lunatics who comprise the republican contingent have a chance? They're all like a bad Saturday Night Live joke.

Obama has to fark something up really bad to lose the election Or a Republican has to get his head out of his ass and run a flawless campaign.(neither one very likely) I'm really not sure about the House and Senate. I really can't see a dramatic shift one way or the other. I do not see a large voter turn-out and will bet that more votes will end up going to third parties but those third parties will gain little traction overall.

\pretty safe bets all around I think.

houginator: I think if Romney is the nominee Obama will be re-elected, and the Dems have a decent chance of keeping the Senate and maybe taking the house. They are going to have a massive enthusiasm gap on their side.

I would actually say that Romney is the worst-case scenario for Obama for the opposite reason you cited: lack of enthusiasm for Obama. Romney may not have an enthusiastic base, but he also doesn't inspire lukewarm Obama supporters to revote for Obama. So I would say the above situation (Obama being re-elected, gaining the House, losing the Senate), describes a Romney vs Obama scenario; I would only predict the Democrats winning back the House and gaining Senate seats would be if pretty much anyone else was nominated against Obama.

Wyalt Derp: The more the GOP obstruct Obama from doing anything at all in the next few months, the more likely the electorate will think they need to give one party of the other a clean sweep in order to stop the stalemate. If the GOP don't put up a credible Presidential candidate, they could lose all three.

/wishful thinking

There's a pretty large group of us who are completely happy with a stalemate in the federal government.

So you'd prefer it when Congress wastes huge amounts of money and time while not accomplishing anything?

Over wasting huge amounts of time and money while farking me over? Absolutely.
