Bill Clinton's first mid term saw the dems lose 54 seats in congress, and 8 in the senate.
The standard DEFAULT in this (and every first term president) mid term is that opposition to the presidents party will win more than lose.
Nixon lost 48 seats his first term.
Reagan lost 26.
I still think the republicans were more of a lock in january 08 than they are now. Whats remarkable this mid term for me is how it's NOT a sure thing even now, 1 week away.
