Democratic prospects for Hill takeover dim

WASHINGTON — In a sharp change from just two months ago, Republicans are gaining a commanding position in the race for control of the U.S. House and Senate.
While Democrats still say that a takeover on Capitol Hill, at least in the Senate, is within reach, they're saying it with less conviction.

The reasons range from fundraising to the ability of GOP lawmakers to show results by working with a president of their own party, such as movement this week toward an extension of $146 billion in middle-class tax cuts.

it is about time they wake up to that fact after the dirty pool they have been playing. people are just getting tired of it and although usually a short memory, they will remember this for a while with luck. personally I am so sick of hearing this bunk, I will be more than glad to have this election over and done with, and the squalling about the election being stolen again done with as well.
