Wow, look at the Cook Political report for perspective on last night's wave |
|
As of Nov. 6, the Cook political group had 38 republican seats in their "toss up" category (the dems had one). So far, with 24 of those called, we have gotten 18 of those. That's an amazing amount, especially when you consider how many of those went heavily for bush in 04.
There are still 14 being counted and at the rate we are going, I imagine a number of those will break our way.
Our biggest upset was NH-01, which went Dem despite being "likely republican" according to the Cook group.

1. Another important point is our margin of victory |
|
our incumbents won by a larger percentage than theirs.
Definitely was a dem wave yesterday. Despite all the spin you'll hear today from the leaders of the brain-washed righty robo-voters.
