Democratic Wins in Congress, 2006-2008
November 10th, 2008
Before the 2006 midterm election, this is what the balance of power looked like in Congress:
House
Democrats: 201 Republicans: 230 Senate Democrats: 45 Republicans: 55 |
And what it looks like after the 2008 election, just two years later:
House
Democrats: 255 Republicans: 174 Senate Democrats: 55~58 Republicans: 40~43 |
Now, look at those numbers and tell me that Democrats in Congress haven’t been given a big, fat mandate.
