estimate for what party gains most in your competition?

Responses:

for future reference, the US House members run for reelection every 2 years -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 4, 09:38 13
- more elections more people can get the pension -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 4, 09:40
- which means they get to spend about 6 months actually getting shit done before they're back on the campaign trail. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 09:38 1
  - In some districts. In some districts where competition is light, campaigning isn't the reason they don't get sh** done. (nm) - musubi Voted For Change 2 weeks ago Nov 4, 09:41
- Thanks, must have had a brain freeze about that, Senators every 4 years? -- nm - Loyola Nov 4, 09:38 8
  - It just gets overshadowed every time there's a presidential election. People only care about voting for Congress every four years -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 09:40 5
    - disagree... they are closely related. It's important to see which party controls the House and Senate. -- nm - loosilu - I Voted! Nov 4, 09:42 4
      - I am half-joking. But if ST was my only source of info about America, I woulodn't have known that Congress was being elected today -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 09:44 3
        
        like *THAT* would be you'r only problem :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 4, 09:57
        
        well, individual races are not usually of interest to everyone. -- nm - loosilu - I Voted! Nov 4, 09:45 1
        
        And in this election, a Democrat House majority is seen as a given. - Roger More Nov 4, 09:50
  - 6 -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 09:39 1
    - and they're staggered. One third of the Senate gets elected every 2 years. -- nm - loosilu - I Voted! Nov 4, 09:40
- "Again? This crazy country!" -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 09:38
