  • Here's Some Perspective: It's NOT 1974 (when Dems had a 147 vote majority)

    OK, some House races appear to still be up in the air. In 1974, the Dems won 291 seats. The Reps won 144 seats. This was after Watergate broke... In the 94th Congress ((in office Jan 1975-Jan 1977), the Dems had a 147 seat mmajority over the Reps. Now, at most they may have a 20-30 seat majority. This is not the 1974 House.
