This is pretty much the biggist upset victory in history if a conservative republican win is Massachusettes.

Thought they have no chance of retaking the Senate, I think I can say now that the GOP is within striking distance of winning back the House come November. they only need 41 seats but they won 54 in 1994 so it is acheivable

In 1994, people trusted Republicans a lot more than they do now. It could happen, but it's unlikely

right now there is over 100 vulnerable Democrats in the house, most of them will be re-elected but to have this many competitive seats means the dems are about to get slaughterd in the House come november if they cant turn things around.
In the Senate the GOP might are almost certain to pick up AR, NV, PA, DE, ND, and CO. that leaves the senate at 51 Dems +2 IND to 47 GOP.
in the best case scenario IL, and CA (the next most vulnerable senators) also go GOP but even then its not enough to take back the senate but still enough to party likes its 1994.

That's one of the few things that gives me hope. I'm still about 98% certain the American public is going to fall right back in to the 2 party trap, but with both major parties rather unpopular right now, and the emergence of the Tea Party movement, which is mostly libertarian, I have just the faintest glimmer of hope that the Libertarian Party, or another minor party, may pick up a few seats in the House or Senate. I'm not gonna hold my breath though. In the end, I expect Americans to switch out a black duece for a red duece, and not realize that they both have a value of 2. (I'm referring to playing cards here, which only come in black and red, so no psycoanalysis of what I mean by that, kay?)

Like you said about the republicans, its possible, but unlikely.

Acorrding to recent polling the GOP is ahead now in the Illinois senate race putting Obama's old seat in play, Retired Senator Coats is coming our of retirement to Challange Bayh in Indiana, and Thomy thompson just might challange Feingold in Wisconson. Thought still incredibly unlikley I think the chances of the GOP taking back the senate just about 1% to 40%.
