*Obviously, Dems didn't get to control the Whitehouse in 2000.

Thats only 5 wins in 15 attempts, and only if I count the 2000 Presidential race as a "win."

I didn't bother to add Governorships because I could only find results going back to 1998 (in that time, we never controlled the Governorships).

And, I didn't bother to point out that we won the Whitehouse in 92 and 96 with less than a majority. If Perot hadn't of split the Repug vote, we may have lost both times.

At the very best, maximizing our results, we have a 33% success rate.

Yep, we're right on track. Don't fix anything!
