New Majority Project

If current trends hold, this will be the second consecutive election Republicans do not defeat a single Democrat Senate incumbent or win a Democrat Senate open seat.  The last time a party did not win a single Senate seat from the other party in consecutive elections was 1932 and 1934, when Republicans again were shut out. 

Is this a harbinger of a realignment along FDR lines or is this merely a bump in the road following two decades of Republican success? The Right's response following November 4th will give us a hint.

Following the 2006 debacle, many of us argued strongly for a fundamental reevaluation and beginning a true rebuilding process. I've made the case repeatedly that, in 2008, the same people doing the same things will not produce different results. That's about to be borne out. This time, I hope we learn from our mistakes.
