GOP on track for historic election

The Republican party appears to be heading for an election victory of historic proportions. Although it now seems all but impossible for the GOP to take the Senate majority they are nonetheless likely to post huge gains whittling the Democratic majority to perhaps only one or two seats from what just two years ago was a filibuster proof majority. In the House of Representatives the Republicans are set to see their largest gains since the 1940's. Democrats will have the smallest number of seats in the House since the election of 1946.
