The Mid-term election of 1998. Some surprises. Barbara Boxer won a squeaker, Charles Schumer won an upset victory in a hotly contested race in New York from Alfonse D'Amato. The Bush Brothers won their respective Governor's Races, Jeb in Florida and George in Texas. Grey Davis won in California (but not for long, as we all remember so well), Newt Gingrich was still busy gloating.
Newt Gingrich: “This will be the first time in seventy years that Republicans kept control of the House for a third term. And you would think that, to do something for the first time in seventy years, would be a fairly big deal. But not among the Washington pundits. <span style='font-size: 20pt'>Well why is it a fairly big deal? Well, because you have every committee will be chaired by Republicans, every sub-committee will be chaired by Republicans. The Rules Committee will be nine to four in favor of Republicans, and we will schedule legislation based on a Republican agenda. </span></div></div>
How bi-partisan is that?
