Santorum got beat in a blue state in a democrat wave year 2006.
And in 2014 a lot of previously formidible democrats are going to beat in a GOP wave year.
Specifically, Mark Pryor, Landreiu and Kay Hagan are going down.
Irregardless of the bad climate or his opponent’s famous daddy , the margin was inexcusable, no incumbent Republican Senator has lost worse since, gee I don’t even know. Even hapless appointed and never elected Cali Republican John Seymour only lost to DiFi by 16 points. Let’s see, here we are, Glenn Beall Jr. of Maryland lost by a slightly margin margin in 1976.
“in 2014 a lot of previously formidible democrats are going to beat in a GOP wave year.”
Indeed, I sure hope so at least, and none of them will ever be President.
