Not so fast. GOP only has 196 elected so far with 10 undecided. Second, I didn't know that the 200 number was a measure how "good" a party did. If that was the case then the Democrats should have been ecstatic in 2004 since they got 200. And that was their worst year.

In 2004: GOP 231, DEM 200, IND 1

In 2006: GOP 196, DEM 229, IND 0, UNDECIDED 10

As far as Arnold's win, he had to become a Democrat to win. And a liberal Democrat at that. He was against every Republican hard core issue. From energy, environmental, fiscal, gun and abortion (he is pro-choice) issues. That's why he won. He is more of a Democrat in most issues than Angelidis was.
