1994 All Over Again in 2010?With the town hall argy-bargy garnering more headlines every day, there's growing chatter that the political climate may be ripe in 2010 for major Republican gains in Congress. Unlikely? A long shot? Byron York offers his insightful analysis.
It's a possibility many Republicans speak of only in whispers and Democrats are just now beginning to face. After passionate and contentious fights over health care, the environment, and taxes, could Democrats lose big -- really big -- in next year's elections?
Ask them about it, and many Democrats will point to the continued personal popularity of Barack Obama. But that's not the story. "I think what's going to happen is Obama's going to be fine, and the Democrats in Congress are going to get their asses kicked in 2010," says one Democratic strategist who prefers not to be named.
