1994 ALL OVER AGAIN:
Democrats Win 18 More House Seats (Perry Bacon Jr., 11/06/08, Washington Post)
While some analysts had suggested that Democrats could gain more than 30 seats, the party appeared to have fallen short of that, but it will approach the total of 259 seats it held in 1994 before Republicans seized control of Congress that fall.
A lot has been written n the past two days about how this election proves there's no longer a Bradley/Wilder Effect, but Mr. Obama and Democrats underperformed expectations enough to make you wonder. Posted by Orrin Judd at November 6, 2008 1:36 PM
