Politics

It is likely that the party of Lincoln will make gains in 2010 (typically, the party not in the white house makes gains in the first mid-term election) But it is unlikely that they will have the impact that they had in 1994. Simply because, while they claimed [and likely meant, at the time] to be a party of change. Many of the republicans swept into office became of the same corrupt political stripe of those they were railing against. This time around, I suspect, you will see an electorate more focused on the actions in whom they have given their trust. In the end, only time will tell.
