The Day After Elections

The Wednesday after Election Day Kateri brought me home copies of Roll Call and The Hill so I could see what the buzz around Capitol Hill was. They were dated November 7, and one article caught my eye, What Will Happen On Election Day. Several of the Democrats predicted the wins we saw that night, but one conservative pundit, more optimistic than most (including me), thought "Republicans will hold on to the House by three seats and will control the Senate 52-48 next year." What a gross underestimate of the actual results!
