- Republicans would sweep all the Class III Senate seats in the rust belt in 2010 (would seem far-fetched after 2008).
-NC-09 would only elect a Republican Congressman by 6 points in 2012, after years of Myrick landslides.
West Virginia, 2012
"A losing Republican will win West Virginia 62-36 in 2012" likewise seemed implausible even up until Election Day, but I think in 1988, when it was one of the few states carried by Dukakis, it would have had the maximum impact.
I remember watching a video of election night 2000 on Youtube with Larry King and Ann Richards discussing the returns. King was surprised that Bush won WV; he said it was a state that "no Democrat should lose."
