Larry Craig: Use Ballots Not Bullets

Former Idaho GOP Sen. Larry Craig began his radio talk-show gig Monday saying it's "very possible" that Republicans will win the U.S. House in November and put the odds at even for winning the Senate. "If you have a Republican House you stop Barack Obama and these liberal policies in their tracks," Craig said during the first hour of a 3-hour guest-hosting appearance on KBOI-670. As for the Senate, Craig predicted GOP pickups in Colorado, Delaware, Florida and Indiana, but said, "It's gonna be a push to take the Senate back over."Craig, 65, said the upcoming election is among the most important in his lifetime/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman.

Question: What do you make of Larry Craig's prediction re: control of Congress after the 2010 elections?
