Historically, though, the party in power always loses seats in the mid-terms.
The problem is that the republicunts will learn the wrong message from this, as they did in 2010. In 2 years there will be more minority voters and fewer angry old white jesus freaks. In 4 years those numbers will have doubled.
The GOPricks may gain seats in a mid-term because people do not vote in the same numbers as they do in a presidential election but that will merely encourage them to name another fascist cocksucker for president in 2016... and they will get their asses kicked again.
Yeah, I fully expect it to happen in 2014. In '18, also, if the Dems keep the White House. Long-term, though, the picture looks very rosy for progressives. The Fox News, Tea Party, "I'm not a racist but they call it the White House for a reason" GOP is doomed. If they survive, it will be because they have shifted away from what they are today.
And, I think they probably will to some degree. Even the hardest core conservative today is fairly liberal (even if not by choice) compared to a conservative Southern Democrat of the 50s.
