Dean: If we don't end this war, Democrats could lose power.

How do you explain the defeats of Jeb Bradley and Jim Leach?

In both cases, the winner barely spent anything in money. Leach's 2002 opponent was far more well-funded and stronger than Loebsack, who was a no-name professor. The whole reason they won was because of the national wave. Upsets like that don't happen in non-wave years.

Hell, look at my old Rep. He won with over 60% in 2004, was not caught in any real scandals, and his opponent was a high school geography teacher from my town. And he lost.

No, you said there was no national wave and most of the people who lost lost because of their own mistakes. But those examples clearly prove there was such a wave.

Why didn't the GOP pick up a SINGLE Senate seat, House seat or Governorship?
