Republicans Pledge to Obstruct Legislation in Congress;
To Make The President and America Fail!
Two years after voters gave President Obama and Democrats a mandate to
govern, angry voters appeared poised today to give Republicans control
of the U.S. House of Representatives, leaving droves of incumbent
Democrats without jobs.
Republicans need to win 39 seats from Democrats to claim a 218-seat
House majority, a feat ABC News' pre-election race ratings and many
recent polls indicate will be easily within reach.
The vote will bring to an end the often embattled tenure of House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who made history in 2007 when she became the
first woman to ever hold that rank. Pelosi's thumb-in-the-eye style of
politics had made her almost as much a target of Republican
challengers as President Obama during the campaign.
If the vote goes as pollsters are predicting, Pelosi will be succeeded
by Ohio Rep. John Boehner, the son of a bar owner and one of 12
children who became president of a plastics company before starting
his political career.
The expected GOP victory will also force dozens of Democratic reps to
hand over the gavels -- and the offices -- of their powerful
committees to their Republican rivals.
While top Democrats are optimistic about averting a GOP landslide,
more than 100 Democrat-held seats appeared vulnerable going into
midterm Election Day, including 68 seats that either lean Republican
or are toss-ups.
