As of now, we picked up it looks like three, and could be four, and perhaps two, but we picked up a lot. Most like ly the number is thre, and you people probably know that better than i do at this point, because you looked at the more recent numbers. 55 is the largest number of republican senators in the last 100 years. In years a president s party has only
acquired eight cumulative seats averaging one per decade, and so if we picked up two, three, four, that is a big percentage of that number. So in the last 80 years, you think of that. Only eight seats. In President Obamas first Midterm Election, he lost six senate seats, include ing ing i deep blue state of massachusetts. Republicans captured at least four senate seats
