I know you have been speaking of "The Republican Tsunami" since Obama got in office, but have you actually been reading any of the more accurate poll predictions? (like fivethirtyeight.com)
The narrative during last August was the GOP was supposed to sweep into the Senate and House, taking over both easily.
Yet the GOP has managed to definitively lose control of the Senate due to the more extreme Tea Party candidates (defeating the moderate GOP candidate) turning voters back to the Dems (less than 10% chance of winning the Senate now).
And in the House, instead of winning 40-50 excess seats easily in a "tsunami", the GOP will probably only barely get the minimal 20 -30 seats (they will be in control). That's nothing. That's what the opposite party normally gets in every first midterm election post-presidential election.
The other thing is that the House has never turned without the Senate. Appears it could happen this year.
We'll see, but I think you'd better look at some polling numbers, Joey, rather than reading right wing web blogs filled with hope.
