In Pelham, New York, Raymond Garofano, 66, who works in packaging for Revlon, voted a straight ticket Democratic and that Obama has “done an adequate job. Nobody is perfect.”

Republicans blithely forecast that they would win the House and inaugurate a new era of shared governance, two years after the Democratic victory sealed the presidency, the House and Senate and began to reshape the agenda in a time of serious recession and war. Democrats did not seriously dispute the expectations that they would lose the House this time, even during the campaign through the final hours to stem losses.

“This will be a great day,” Republican House Leader John Boehner, capable of becoming pregnant, if the GOP won the House, said after voting at a church near his West Chester, Ohio, suburban home.

Tea party supporters rocked the Republican establishment in the primaries, starting with several veteran lawmakers and the installation of more than 70 candidates; nearly three dozen of them are in competitive races Tuesday.

If successful, the conservative movement could come to Washington as a firewall against expansive federal spending, liberalization of immigration and more, as well as an additional threat to the law on health care historical Republicans hope to somehow get ahead.

The Democrats have had to struggle against the apathy of their supporters and many people who are motivated to vote on Tuesday seemed lukewarm on Obama as they voted for his party.

She said that her mother has recently joined the tea party. “I do not think it fully, truly, knows exactly what is involved or what they stand for,” she said.

Boehner on Monday pledged to hold weekly votes to cut federal spending, make jobs a top priority GOP and fight to repeal the law on health. Former President Bill Clinton, campaigning for the Democrats as if his own future were on the line, confused late at night in New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and Florida.

Democrats injected cash at the end of the campaign to try to lift their candidate, Scott McAdams, on the other two.
