8. actually we saw 1994 coming

Sun Nov 2, 2014, 11:38 PM

Nov 2014

maybe not every single loss but only the exceptionally delusional didn't see us losing both Houses in 94. Here I don't see a wave but I still think the Senate is likely to be lost. I think we will lose seats in MT, WV, SD, Arkansas, IA, and LA with no sure pick ups. If we get KS and don't lose Alaska then we could hold. But I don't see that happening.
