Deceptive conventional wisdom

Betsy's Page

Tom Elia points to a new myth that will probably soon become conventional wisdom. Some are pointing to the margin of votes for Democrats in the Senate races of 55% to 42.4% as an indication of a larger than 12% victory for Democrats. As Tom points out,

<<< What Eskow either forgets, or neglects to point out, is that 33 Senate seats are up for election every two years, and that among this year's seats were three in California, New York, and Massachusetts -- seats that Senators Feinstein, Clinton, and Kennedy won by about 4 million votes, most of the Dems' 6.6 million vote margin of victory in the aggregate US Senate vote. >>>


Don't expect little facts like that to stop a new election myth from developing.
