Here's an interesting pro and con article.
Considering how fast things change, I'm siding on winning ASAP, and worrying about the possible consequences later...

Jon Ward writes about the issue at DailyCaller.com:
"Turns out, not all Republicans are rooting for their own to win the House.
'I want Republicans to make massive gains but I want them to fall one vote short of taking the House,' said Ari Fleischer, White House press secretary to President George W. Bush. 'I want to see more evidence that Republicans are ready to govern. I want to see more substance, particularly on what spending they will cut.'
Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the California Republican who has been tasked with recruiting candidates by House Minority Leader John Boehner, confirmed that this view is held by numerous party operatives and leaders, though none in Congress.
'There are some Republicans out there that I respect, that are very, very bright, that root against us getting the majority,' McCarthy said at a recent lunch with reporters. 'They believe it’s a two-cycle election. They believe they may get the White House. They think if we got the majority somehow it protects Obama.'"
