Title: i have heard many people discuss how incumbents are too safe Post by: freepcrusher on September 06, 2011, 10:59:48 AM but if one looks in comparison; the 2004-2010 cycle was the worst decade for incumbents since the 1974-1980 cycle.

As far as the U.S. House of Representatives is concerned, it's more accurate to say that the politicians choose the voters than the other way around.
