Larry Sabato - If the Republican wave on November 2 is as large as some polls are suggesting it may be, then the surprise on election night could be a full GOP takeover. Since World War II, the House of Representatives has flipped parties on six occasions (1946, 1948, 1952, 1954, 1994, and 2006). Every time, the Senate flipped too, even when it had not been predicted to do so. These few examples do not create an iron law of politics, but they do suggest an electoral tendency.

I read this on RedState...posted by a reader, and it’s really interesting. The Dem “firewall” in the Senate is the left coast..California and Washington. If the GOP tide is really runnign very strong..we’ll know a lot of the east coast races early on, and that will serve to depress Dem turnout on the left coast. It could make the difference..

If this “glass half empty” moron thinks so, it must look pretty good for a republican “takeover”.
