Trivia Tidbit of the Day: Part 816 -- 1994 Versus 2010, By The Numbers.
Similarities, But Not Same Playing Field-
Some slightly mitigating numbers regarding 2010 versus 1994 and the political environment surrounding the election:
While the mood of the public today appears similar to the mood in 1994, there are a couple of important differences between the political situation now and the political situation then. Democrats hold 256 House seats today just as they did in 1994. However, fewer of their seats today are in marginal or Republican-leaning districts while more are in strongly Democratic districts. In addition, Democrats are defending only 19 open seats this year compared with 31 open seats in1994. As a result, Democrats are in a stronger position to defend their majority this year than they were in 1994.
A bit of data that tempers the "2010 is just like 1994" enthusiasm.
