Will the GOP retake the house in 2010?

Republicans say it's possible


Democrats say not so fast

I think this argument is actually going to go back and forth all the way up until election day, it’ll also be good to note how many more retirements there will be and if approval for the health bill ticks up after it’s passed. This depends all on how Democrats can successfully sell the benefits of the new law while painting Republicans as oppositionists and obstructionists, Obama’s popularity also has to go back up into at least the mid 50’s, if the majority of Americans have a positive view of the head of the Democratic party, then losses will be less substantial.

Republicans also have a long way to go to rebrand themselves as being ready to govern again, as their own party favorables are still way down.
