Republicans Expected to Win 2012 Elections

FBR Capital Markets expects the cycle of disappointments coming out of Washington D.C to reach an inflection point later this year, creating an opportunity for investors to begin looking ahead to the November 2012 elections as cause for optimism.

"After years of policy battles dominating headlines and weighing on sentiment, we believe that we are approaching an inflection point where these decisions will provide a positive shift in sentiment as the outcome of the 2012 election comes into focus," said Edward Mills, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets.

With a little less than a year until the election, Mills believes that the Republican Party is well positioned to win a majority in both the House and the Senate. In the battle for the Presidency, Mills believes Mitt Romney is in the best position to capture the Republican nomination and will be considered the favorite in a battle against President Barack Obama...........<SNIP>
