Today August 23, 2010, The Washington Post reports that “Some neutral observers and senior strategists within the party have begun to believe that the national political environment is not only similar to what they saw in 1994 — when Democrats lost control of the House and Senate — but could in fact be worse by Election Day.”
Back on December 12, 2009 I wrote as follows in a column here on my Blog, headlined Forget About the 1994 Revolution: “Where things stand today in American Politics, we all may just forget about the 1994 “Republican Revolution,” because the 2010 election will likely be worse for the Dems than was 1994.”
I continued that “It is early to make a clear prediction, but it IS a VERY good bet that the Dems will lose a combined more seats between both houses, than the total 62 they lost in ’994.” I pointed out that “even IF (again, even IF) the US job market starts looking just somewhat decent in a half year from now, the jobs issue, in addition to issues such as budget deficits and taxes, are one that the Repubs have the upper hand, and thus also a much better standing in the upcoming election.”
