Barone: GOP Could Win Congress

Michael Barone, writing for The Washington Examiner, has evidence that 2010 could be an election year like 1994. That year the Republicans took control of both houses of the Congress. His premise:
Usually House incumbents don’t trail challengers in polls at any point in the campaign, because they almost always start off better known. For an incumbent to trail in a poll is a sign of serious danger.
What Barone finds is a number of GOP challengers who, at this point, lead Dem incumbents in the polls. If that sounds like good news, go see his column.
