Fall Forecast: GOP Will Bask In Bigger House Majority

With 25 congressmen retiring or seeking another office in 2014, two top experts predict that Republicans will add to their majority in the House.

Nationally syndicated columnist Michael Barone sees "slight" gains for the Republicans, but veteran political analyst Dick Morris predicts another GOP "wave year" along the lines of 2010, when Republicans enjoyed their biggest gains in House elections since 1938.

"We need to look at each individual district, but in general, 2014 will be a big Republican year, and I expect the open House seats to largely trend Republican." Morris told Newsmax.

Morris, who was an early forecaster of the Republican "wave year" of 2010, said that given voter fury over problems with Obamacare, "I think '14 will be a repeat of '10 except that I think we may take the Senate."

First - the GOP needs to put up candidates that can win and represent the will of the people.

Second - the conservative voters need to go out and vote.

Third - those newly elected representatives need to maintain the trust and integrity that the voters placed in them and put forth legislation to 'undo' what the current tyranny has foisted upon us.

sad thing is the Senate seats up for grabs are mostly easy seats for the Progressive to maintain

Dick Morris said Romney would win in a landslide. How do these fools keep their jobs. Useless.
