As I recall on the eve of the '94 mid terms the spin from the MSM was that the GOP had peaked too early and the Dem losses would be only marginal. Didn't quite turn out that way.
I remember that idiot Peter Jennings absolutely crowing about how all those suckers who signed the Contract with America had to be kicking themselves because of the price they were about to pay because of it. Then, when Republicans swept the election, Petey Boy declared that, "The electorate has had a temper tantrum."
