    Looks like its going to be another year of big turn over in the House and Senate in next years vote. It looks like the anti-incumbent trend starts right when the Democrats took over. Then really took off under Obama.

    2010 broke a 60 year old record for Congressional turnover.
    Only 89% were reelected.

    The polls for congressional approval mean very little. So many districts are gerrymandered to protect incumbents.

    Pelousi had an approval rating of 15% and won her district by 20 points. The whole system is corrupt

  8. The poster may have not checked the mirror --- There is funnier: what about those who may have tried to vote for W. in the last election (He was not running at the last election BTW!)?
