The Senate picture for the rats is worse than in 1994. They lost only 2 incumbents that year, they lost control because they lost every open seat.
We haven’t beaten more than 2 incumbent democrat Senators in one election since 1980. That will change in 2010.
They will lose the Senate or come close to it. And all but 2 of their losses will be in states that voted for Obama. That’s horrible for them.
The House may surpass the 230 Republicans elected in 1994. The races for Governor look good.
Stu Rothenberg recently wrote a column on how this is a Republican wave election not an “anti-incumbent” election. The democrats are the only incumbents in general election danger.
