>> I have studied them for the
past 40 years. In 1994, the Republicans had a 7-2 edge in congress in WA. The
Democrats now hold a 5-4 edge.


Sophistry. Gee, and what was the lineup in years precedent to 1994? Seems the Dems had an even stronger edge than they do now.

>>After Metcalf gets beaten in 2000, the margin will be
6-3.


Wanna bet on that outcome?

You are no doubt an expert on foolishness.

Oklahoma has a 6-0 "edge" for Republicans in the House and 2 Republican Senators. That's Republicans 8 Democrats Zero. And I didn't even have to study for that one.

<<All of the people elected to statewide offices are Democrats except the Secretary of State who is a moderate Republican. All of this, thanks to the foolishness of the Republicans in the House of Representatives. >>

That's certainly bucking the trend. Besides having a significant edge in national vote totals, republicans actually gained governor seats in November. Here in Massachusetts, the most democrat state in the country, we elected a republican governor over a very strong democrat candidate.
