No, there is no recent precedent for the Party in power doing well in the midterms. The House vote is a disaster for the GOP because it further entrenches the 'crazy'. If by chance they want to actually accomplish anything they will need Dem votes, or they can watch uncompromised bills die in the Senate.

People voted not so much for something but against something else That's probably a reasonable comment for a percentage of people, however, I don't agree that it would have been enough to effect the total counts given the dearth of death minded republiklans.
