I have been wondering how the victory of either a Dem or Rep will affect the 2010 Congressional elections.
If McCain wins will the Repubs have a harder time recovering in 2010 or not?
If Obama wins will the Dems be helped in 2010 or will voters not be as inclined to give the Dems all of Congress with an Obaman presidency?
Will it be a less Dem Congress with Obama and a more Dem Congress with McCain or is the opposite true?
Since this is speculation and there are many unknowns (performance of the candidates in office, circumstances, etc) this may be hard to predict. Still, these elections will be interesting to see as they will be following the 2008 electoral extravaganza/bloodbath and be the first of the next "era."
In the internet age political winds can change rapidly. But will some of the old patterns still have some hold? Is this question so unknowable right now that it cannot be answered with any degree of accuracy?
I did not want to go too off topic on my other thread so I made this one.
