Do Republicans feel obsolete since they lost the House and Senate or do they feel energized for 2010?

Energized, for sure. Obama' and his administration are doing more for the republican party then republicans could have dreamed of.They have inspired many life long democrats (myself included ) to join the republican party,and sensing the mood of the people in our country right now,they realize there will be many job openings soon in the Senate and in Congress....a clean sweep in 2010.
