Senate Democrats gain two seats, something that was inconceivable 90 days ago or, for that matter, on Nov. 5. They held five of their six most vulnerable seats, and no Democratic incumbent lost reelection. Of 10 toss-up races, Democrats won nine. For what was generally considered to be a non-wave election, those results are extraordinary.
Dems had to defend 23 seats to 10 for Republicans. Democrats had more retirements and, for much of the cycle, more vulnerable seats.
The Gop has names like Akin and Mourdoch so what does the gop expect? Give me a break. Get back to the roots Gop, where is Toe Tapping Larry Craig these days? Get Er Done Larry. Passionate Conservatism.
