Gingrich's Prediction: When GOP Takes Back House, Bachmann Will Lead Committee

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Yes, The GOP will win the house and Michelle will be the lead dog. One thing Newt did not mention is that the house he is referring to is the Crazy House in Bellevue!!! Keep drinking the Kool-Aid Newt!!!

Meh. The probability of the GOP retaking either house of Congress is getting more and more remote.

The probability was highest when it seemed like health care wouldn't make it through the Senate, but it's shrunk since then. Obama's approval is up now that it seems health care is going to pass, and even the Democrats in Congress are feeling a boost in public opinion. The appearance of substantial opposition is a lot of hot air; people will say they oppose the Senate bill, but if then asked to name provisions they show they have no idea what's actually in it. When asked about specific provisions, people are almost always supportive.

Provided that the Dems can effectively explain exactly what it is they passed this past year, the GOP isn't likely to gain very much ground in either house. If the tea partiers start anti-moderate revolutions in certain key races, the GOP could actually lose some seats they already have. I still think it'll be a net-loss for the Dems, but it won't be a big loss.

Does "Head Inquisitor" count as a committee chair? Because I could totally see Bachmann leading the crusade to clear out all the "seeecret Mooslems" from the government...
