Cook: GOP to Romp in 2012

Well-known vote-counter Charlie Cook predicts a clean sweep by Republicans in 2012. See the article at U.S. News & World Report.

Interestingly, Cook figures a few seats lost in the House, but not enough to threaten the Republican majority. He sees a slim GOP majority in the Senate; and he thinks Romney will be nominated and elected.

If the election turns out as Cook predicts, the Republicans need an agenda for governing. With control of all three bases of Washington power, there is no excuse for doing nothing. Simply being against the Barack Obama/Harry Reid agenda won't be enough.
