2006 Elections

11/14/06

Besides the sudden end of the claim of suppression of the vote in 2006 here is what Ann Coulter pointed out:
1938 FDR's Democrats lost 71 seats in the house
1958 Eisenhower"s Republicans lost 47 seats in the house
1966 Kennedy/Johnson Dem's lost 47 seats in the house
1974 Nixon/Ford Repub's lost 43 seats in the house
1986 Reagan's Repubs lost 5 seats in hte house
1994 Clinton [supposed a genius] Dems lost 54 seats in the house
2006 Bush's Repubs lost 36 seats in the house.

So the Democrats didn't have a large success but only a moderate success.

Now for a breakdown:
of the 36 seats Dems won in 2006 in the house
4 came from New York
4 came from Pennsylvania
4 came from NewEngland [2 in Conneticut and 2 in New Hampshire]
5 came from republican seats that had no incumbent in the 2006 elections
Therefore there are 17 of the 36 seats lost in mostly John Kerry voting areas.

Therefore I find that the Democrats really isn't getting much support for what Howard Dean calls Jesusland.
