Expert election number cruncher Michael Barone shares with Washington Examiner readers this morning his take on this week’s election results:
Eleven states voted yesterday in primaries and runoffs?the largest number of the year?and one way to look at the results is that no incumbent member of Congress lost his or her bid for reelection. So does this make 2010 less of an anti-incumbent (and anti-Democratic) year? Not really. I am put in mind of the story of the Teamsters Union business agent who was confined to the hospital. A bouquet was sent, with a note reading: ?The Executive Board wishes you a speedy recovery, by a vote of nine to six.? Such was the voters? verdict on incumbents on June 8.
