Does Steve remember that I mentioned, about a year ago, going through the records and finding a pronounced correlation between the President's margin of victory and the number of seats his party lost in the ensuing mid-term? This would argue for the coat-tails effect -- and, since the correlation I noted was with the size of the popular vote victory, would actually have predicted the Republican gain.
