Place Your Midterm Election Bets.

Just a day before Election Day, Vice President Joe Biden told CNN that he “doesn’t agree with the oddsmakers” who are betting that a Republican wave will flip control of the Senate.

“I predict … we’re gonna keep the Senate,” he said in a CNN interview broadcast Monday. “I’ve been in 67 races all told and I don’t get the feeling that the oddsmakers are getting.”

Despite Biden’s optimism, most of the smart money is on the GOP. The party needs to win six seats to wrestle the Senate back from Democrats, but at least ten seats are in play. And while a Republican Senate and Democratic White House are sure to clash on a slew of issues, Biden is hopeful that the parties can find common ground during Obama’s last two years in office.

“The Republicans have to make a decision whether they're in control or not in control,” he said. “Are they gonna begin to allow things to happen? Or are they gonna continue to be obstructionists? And I think they're gonna choose to get things done."

Biden’s been one of the highest-profile Democrats on the trail for embattled candidates this midterm elections, as many Democratic candidates have shied away from appearing with Obama, lest they be tied to the increasingly unpopular president. But Biden’s tour through swing states comes amidst another reality: a potential bid for president in 2016.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the overwhelming Democratic favorite, but Biden hasn’t been shy in suggesting that he’s weighing another run. He told CNN that he wouldn’t base his decision off of Clinton.

"That's not the reason not to run or to run," he told Borger. "The question is ... am I convinced I am best positioned of anyone else to lead the country the next four years?

So, Obama and Biden will be crying lots tomorrow night. Should we send them a care package of tissues?

idk...they don't seem to care a lot about anything...

I would think Obama is more concerned with his marriage falling apart than anything.

things were a lot worse that one time when what's his name was president....

Warren G. Harding?

If the republicans take the senate, the only difference will be the news networks swapping stories and replacing who is to blame for congress not getting anything done.

Pretty much, nothing is going to happen in 2015-2016 regardless.

i still find it baffling that in this day and age ppl can be blind and ignorant enough to follow a 'party' blindly....

Nothing is going to make it to the WH.

Pretty simple, the GOP is not going to have enough votes to break a filibuster.

Nothing would be better than have the Democrats filibuster what the republican party was (is about to be) put in senate to do.

All that would accomplish is a Republican President and more senate and house loses in 2016.

Democrats want to keep the voters occupied with handouts, abortion and other gayness.

So by all means Filibuster everything that comes down the pipes because Democrats have nothing to fall back on in the first place.


P.S. Are you even capable of responding with more than one (occasionally two) sentences?

Pretty simple, the GOP is not going to have enough votes to break a filibuster.

A one sentence explanation was all that was required, it completely covers why nothing will reach the WH. As for your baseless assumptions, not even worth responding to. Filibustering doesn't flip states. Expect the exact opposite situation for the Senate GOP in 2016, as they will have to be defending a lot of seats in blue states.

See, this is why you are wrong on so many levels:

A GOP Congress would produce a whole lot of bills that the president would never sign, which will place him in the one position he never has been before in his political career: accountability.

See, by having a bill go to him straight away (instead of having his lapdog Reid preventing any bills from reaching the White House by not even bringing up any House bills to the Senate floor), Obama is placed in either vetoing a bill, or signing it. Either way, it makes Obama accountable for what he does, instead of denying anything he has been doing for the past 6 years.

Which will be detrimental for Clinton, since she is basically Obama v.2. Anything he passes, his liberal base will hate him (and Clinton) for it. Anything he veto's, everyone else will hate him (and Clinton) for it.

So, a Republican Senate tomorrow night will almost guarantee a Republican president in 2016. Which is why Obama and his cronies are so anxious to "get the vote out" which also is detrimental to his cause (since people will tend to vote against Obama, not for him, thanks to his dismal popularity).

On another note. It's slightly possible for the republicans to get 60 seats tomorrow. While this only has a slim chance of happening lets say it does.. Is it racist to Tar and Feather the POS out of the white house? I could think of other things that ARE racist.. but tar and feathers would suffice..

All assumptions, like I said, nothing will reach the WH. The GOP is not picking up 13 seats, btw. You guys have nothing.

No doubt they'll try to defund ACA, which would be like saying "this bandaid didn't instantly heal my wound, better rip it off and let it bleed".
