Gotta love 1958. And people act like losing 9 seats is a big deal.

When you lose a majority in Senate (and most chances to regain it until 2020-2022) - it's a BIG deal...

When you increase your majority in the Senate enough to lock out the other party for 20 years it's a bigger deal.

I didn't say it wasn't. Still 2014 rout was sensitive enough to be called a really big deal. And for now i don't see Democratic chances to lock it for 20 years either. Too much (almost all) lost in the South. I don't see anyone to lock Senate for 20 years, but of two Republicans have better chances to do that.

I meant not a big deal in comparison to 1958, not that it wasn't a big deal.
