That is just not true. The Republican gerrymandering was the reason for 1994. Only Ross Perot kept it from happening in 1992.
If it were true the Clinton approval rating of 58 percent and his victory for president would have won the house for the Democrats in 1996. Clinton has was within 4 points of Dubya's current approval numbers in 1998 and 2000. In fact the Democrats got more votes for the House in 2000, than the Republicans did. Yet the Republicans won the house in 2000.
There are now 202 gerrymandered safe Republican districts. There are 192 Gerrymandered safe democrat districts. There are 17 additional districts where the Republicans have 10 percent or more registered voters than do Democrats. 202 plus 17 is 219. Two hundred nineteen seats is one more than it takes to control the house. There are 11 toss up seats. If the Republicans win 6 of those toss up seats the house will have the exact same makeup it does today. The Democrats can not hope to win the house until 2012 after the house seats are redistricted again. That is one reason for their huge efforts to win Governorships this year. They can never win the federal house if they don't control the state houses in the redistricting years.
The Senate is another matter. But for most people (57 percent) Clinton was a good president. Republicans hate him. But don't delude yourself that the public in general does. If you think the general public shares your moral and political views you are indeed sadly mistaken. This nation is evenly divided. There are as many that love Clinton as hate him.
