So, the Democrats will Lose the Midterms

So much for wishful thinking. My money's on Nate Silver. The Senate goes Republican, but not t a super-majority. And so, Obama becomes a complete lame duck. He still has veto power and people might get sick of gridlock and there might be real change in 2016, like the House going Democrat.
It doesn't really change much.

The republicans continue to make gridlock a democratic problem and the media tells their story and the ignorant voters elect a republican President. That is the true nightmare.

The low information voter is the republican's best friend. Almost no one checks facts, so whatever Fox says is true to them.
