If the Dems win House or Senate its huge...

Dems won't win the senate though..may not even win 5 seats let alone 6

wrong. without a Senate majority and a resounding win in the House, its a hollow victory that is meaningless in the context of prior 6th year elections...those results are what set the goalposts.

[/ QUOTE ]Well that's certainly a humorous way to spin it. Another would be this:

* Strong Democratic: 18
* Lean Democratic: 2
* Toss-up: 4
* Lean Republican: 2
* Strong Republican: 7

That's how the Senate elections this year are breaking down. 66% Dem and 33% Republican.

The senate will be hard since uneducated people in Wyoming, Idaho, etc vote against their own interests.

If you believe this is true, then the onus lies on democrats to be better educators and campaigners.

Also, paging Copernicus to this thread. Paging Copernicus to this thread. We need responses to some rebuttals.

There have been no rebuttals to my statement, only dismissals of the relevance of the history of 6th year administrations, erroneous claims that winning the House and not the Senate is "huge", and guesses at the outcome of the election that appear to be based on week old polls.

When a supposedly equal or superior team is spotted 21 points in a game, winning by 10 is nothing to gloat about.

How did Clinton manage to not lose massive seats in 98?

To justify a gloating thread the Dems would need to nearly sweep the closely contested House seats. Elections in the 6th year of an administration are so stacked against the sitting Presidents party, that anything less than that is a loss for the Dems.

Hahahaha. Damage control starts now; set expectations low, and if it turns out your way, even slightly, you can claim "huge" wins, if it turns out bad, you can always say "yeah, but the democrats didn't get a VETO-PROOF MAJORITY, therefore we win".

Oh, I see everyone else already spanked you.
