It seems all but certain with the 2010 election only 48 hours away that the Republicans are going to make substantial gains, likely retaking a majority in the House of Representatives, narrowing the Democratic advantage in the Senate to less than a handful of seats, adding many governorships to the red side of the political ledger, and picking up hundreds of state offices and legislative seats previously held by Democrats. In normal times, such an electoral outcome would be hailed as a great victory for the winners and a solid mandate from voters to carry out the successful party’s platform.
