These states are viewed as the ones that will determine the majority in the Congress. Personally, I don't believe any Congressional seat is a guarantee considering their very poor rating these day.
...About 30 congressional seats (click here) in those four megastates are up for grabs, according to Sabato's Crystal Ball, the website of University of Virginia government professor Larry J. Sabato. These "orphan states" could well hold the balance of power in the House, where Democrats must pick up 25 seats to replace John Boehner as speaker with Nancy Pelosi....
The Congress has been a real problem since 2010. What does that say about the GOP? They simply aren't ready to govern in a time in this nation's history when there is so much to decide. Placing Republicans back in any majority is a mistake. It happened in 2010 and the USA's credit rating was downgraded. Congress can't get anything done with Republicans constantly fighting. They fight between themselves and their Democratic peers and they fight the President. They are horrible.
One of the statements the political Right Wing likes to dangle as their mandate in any election whether it was a mandate of not, "Elections have consequences." Really? Let me get this right. Elections only have consequences when they are the Republican consequences for the nation, like wars, imploding economies and corporate welfare.
