Gonna have to be one helluva October Surprise
Back in 2006 at this point in time, it was clear the Democrats would take over Congress.
Bush was so widely detested that nothing helped and late missteps by GOP candidates only gave the impression their party was on electoral quicksand.
There’s a strong anti-Democratic and anti-incumbent mood in the country and in a second mid term, the party in the White House is usually on the receiving end of a backlash. Now that’s the Democrats’ turn.
Its no longer a question of whether Democrats can keep the Senate but whether they can minimize their losses.
