The Backlash Cometh
Obama 290
McCain 248
Closer than expected given media bias, poor economy, Bush, difficulty of three term-same party, Obama $$$, and the pathetic campaign run by McCain. The Socialism angle would have worked for McCain but was too little, too late.
Prediction:
In late 2009-10, the economy gets really bad. Pelosi, Obama, Reid trifecta continue to push liberal agenda regardless of economic conditions. Carter style foreign policy appeasement does not work. Media turns on Obama.
All of this leads to a mid-term backlash reminiscent of 1994.
Republicans take control of congress in 2010
