In 1994 with a popular president in office, the Repukes siezed control with a sweep of 52 House seats and eight Senate seats. All they had was the "Contract on American" and the wimpy House banking scandal.

Are you saying that the Democrats, who hold all the cards right now cannot achieve a similar or even more sweeping result?

Realistically, eight Senators is about the max. Still, with the current perfect political storm, I think Dems can reach for the moon and get all eight along with more than fifty House seats.

But Dems have to actually play the hand to achieve that goal.

Novakula and his friend are saying 25 House seats because they are actually thinking more than fifty in November. They're deliberately low-balling it.
