If the republicans make major gains or wins both the house and senate they need take it as a mandate. What has happen is a repeat of 2008, but in a compressed time frame and different reasons. Things turned on Obama because the people who got him elected, did not know how to run a administration. Obama was inexperienced in government and the politics in government. Obama is also more egotistic then over confident.
Obama though he had a mandate and he did not. Obama asked too much of a congress that was mostly made up of moderate democrats who were in majority. He did not give them political coverage when he pushed his budget busting agenda.
So the republicans do not really have a mandate. The republicans or the Tea party movement has not presented a coherent comprehensive to deal with the deficit or debt. The democrats has not done so either. I do not see the republicans presenting one now or 2012. That is what scares me.
