The Congressional election of 1994 saw the emergence of "The Angry White Male" in all the media memes.

Everyone was completely blindsided by that outcome and that turnout.

NOBODY predicted it.

It can be done again.

I remember watching Peter Jennings practically sputtering when he talked about the 1994 election results. It was the first time I heard the term "angry white male".

I was a bit younger then, but I remember responding to the television: "Angry? If that election result had not happened, THEN you would have seen angry." (The massacre at Waco, the AWB, Ruby Ridge, and Hillarycare was still fresh on a lot of people's minds.)

Bill Clinton was clever enough to read the tea leaves and back way off after that 94 election.
