It wasn't much of a comeback. It took Republicans another 30 years to get control of the House of Representatives, and 40 years to have a Republican president & congress.

It is going to be very difficult as the MSM has no shame and they are totally in the tank of liberals.

Yeah, but we didn't have ACORN.
