The Republican Congress will probably get one more strike?

Republicans will most likely keep the majority in the House after this election. It would be too much to ask to send all of them packing.

But, it they do maintain their majority, the voters will not be open to more of their same shenanigans. If they continue their same tactics, they will be in the minority after the elections of 2014. Will the Republicans wise up? Doubtful.

making it hard to pass legislation that people want, the House will become Dem in 2014. I see the end of tea baggery.
