I think the House and the Senate will have GOP majorities very soon. Many Democrats are disheartened because Obama is not to the left enough. Most Conservatives are enraged because Obama has been painted to be just a little shy of communist. This will affect who turns out to vote and who they will vote for.

If in fact the GOP does gain control of the House and the Senate (something I am still not convinced will happen) it will be interesting to see if Obama will do what Bill Clinton did and that is to recalibrate and work with them to get some things done.
I think it will be harder for Obama because I think he is a true believer from his Community Activist roots that Socialism and redistribution of wealth is a must do. Clinton had no moral or core values so it was easy for him to tack right when the GOP took control in 94. He jettisoned Hillary's nationalized health care plans so fast I am sure her head spun!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
