....I was tongue-in-cheek reminding 521 and you of the oft forgotten fact that while the Dems took the House in a year where an amazing number of R's retired or didn't run, the R's in the senate actually made gains which is very rare indeed for a first midterm election which favors the power out of power. Thus, the midterms were much more of a mixed bag,and far less of a victory than you imply.
I do wonder how much blackmail and threats behnd the scenes led to those early retirement decisions, but that I admit, is pure speculation at this time.
