"Every election is important" - sure, but this says nothing whatsoever about relative importance.

It's certain that the Democrats will come out with the presidency, and vanishingly unlikely that they will take the Congress. So whoever controls the Senate, there will still be checks and balances on them.

Which year would you say was less important?
