Two Not-So-Trivial Political Questions


Question #1: When was the last time Democrats won more than fifty percent of the votes cast for members of the US House of Representatives?  

Answer: November 4, 2008.

Question #2: When was the last time Republicans won more than fifty percent of the votes cast for members of the US House of Representatives?

Answer: November 5, 1946. 

Yes, you're reading that correctly. The Republican Party has not won a majority of votes cast in US House races in more than sixty years

So much for all the blather about America being a center-right country.
