November 3rd: GOP Falls Short This will be the headline in many mainstream media outlets on November 3rd regardless of the outcome of the election. If the GOP wins about the same number of seats as they did in 1994, as Charlie Cook is now projecting , the story will be that the Dems did better than expected because they only lost 52 seats instead of 100 and because they only lost 8 Senate seats instead of the 10 it would take to change control. The media will try to turn this election into a Dem victory lap and a big win for Obama, whose “last minute campaigning saved the day for the Democrats”.
