Back-To-Back Train Wrecks

Charlie Cook:

Devastating back-to-back election cycles are truly rare: They have happened only twice in the past 80 years (40 elections) -- to Republicans in 1932 and 1934 and to Democrats in 1950 and 1952. Usually, when voters kick the heck out of one party, their anger is satisfied and they move on. Voters rarely come back the very next time and kick the same party hard again.

This election isn't over, but it is looking very bad for Republicans -- and seems to be getting worse.
