. The Republicans lost eight Senate seats in the 2008 election--the same number they won back this week--and another 6 seats in the previous election in 2006. In 2004, the Republicans held control of the Presidency, the Senate and the House. In the six years since, the voters have drastically REDUCED their role in the federal government.
