Republicans' big gains weren't visible at this point in the 1994 cycle ... nor were Democrats' big gains in 2006

BS - in both cases one could feel the wave. In 2006, it was all about getting out of Iraq, and getting rid of Rumsfeld.

From WIKI: "On November 1, 2006, Bush stated he would stand by Rumsfeld as defense secretary for the length of his term as president... After the elections, on November 8, Bush announced Rumsfeld would resign his position as Secretary of Defense.

All the war protests ended after the RATs took back the house.

Barone is getting old and losing his edge. He was the best in his field a few years ago.

Ohio 12 is one of those hybrid districts, about half suburban and half urban, about half rural and half small-town. It includes part of the Ohio State University campus and affluent northern suburbs of Columbus, the Midwest's fastest-growing major metro area, plus most or all of several counties to the north and east.

Metro areas are cities are Democrat enclaves. This growth is probably skewing this once GOP district and explains why it is more competitive.

Oh, come on people... the recent elections were not even primaries... they were special elections. So, far, we are 9 for 10 on special elections.

They were held in the middle of August.

Anybody who has a job is on vacation during the middle of August.

The GOP will turnout in record numbers in Nov when it counts, because we know what is at stake.

Blue wave??? ppppppppppp... nonsense.

That’s only your opinion. He’s good but not as sharp as he used to be.

Deocrats can’t lose the house because they don’t have the house to lose.

Thank you for referencing that article Kaslin. As usual, please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Blah, blah, blah.

The referenced article treats the upcoming election as just another ordinary election imo, ignoring that angry patriots elected proven business maverick Pres. Trump to drain the swamp.

Patriots elected Trump in retaliation for 70+ unhappy years of Constitution-ignoring uniparty rule, particularly during the lawless Obama Administration.

Patriots know that they need to finish the job that they started when they elected Trump by electing as many new, state sovereignty-respecting lawmakers as they can in the 2018 midterm elections to replace anti-Trump career lawmakers, new patriot lawmakers who will support Trump’s vision for MAGA.

The base will be more fired up than ever. They know how critical this election is.

The Dems are showing their true, ugly colors. Normal, sane people see it and don’t like it.

If there was a MAGA party, they would both lose.
