Is this the year the Republican Party returns to the tiny minority status it achieved in 1932, and so richly deserves again?
In the past couple of months we've had three special elections for Congressional seats that came open when the incumbents resigned. Here in Illinois, Dennis Hastert's seat, which had been Republican for a generation, was won by a Democrat. A couple of weeks ago in Louisiana, a seat in a strong Republican district was won by a Democrat.
And tonight, a third Republican district in Mississippi was won by a Democrat -- with an 8 percent margin of victory.
That noise you hear is the knocking knees of Republicans who have to defend their seats this fall.
