Could happen, but I guess you weren't around for the correction of '94, eh? As I said above it won't be because the citizens have repudiated the DNC in some fundamental way. There are just a lot of House and Senate seats and Governorships that are inherently close. These tend to flip in off year elections. I was listening to NPR yesterday when the head of the Democratic Governor's Assoc said that since Teddy Roosevelt Administration in 1906 the party holding the White House has lost an average of 28 House seats and 4 Senate seats in off year elections (he didn't mention governorships).

President Obama lurched too far to the left and the voters are correcting the Fed gov't back to the center. Same as they did for Presidents Bush and Clinton before him. I for one find it healthy to have the White House and at least one branch of Congress held by different parties because it forces the gov't to govern from the middle. Having either the DNC or the GOP hold all the power results in lurches too far to one side or the other IMO.

Don't worry, though...it'll happen to the next GOP President, too. He or she will lurch too far to the right and the voters will jerk him or her up by the short-n-curleys! :thumbsup:
