The current Democratic margin in the House is 31 seats.

This is larger than any of the majorities the Republicans held since they got the House back in 1994 with a 25-seat margin. The largest Republican margin since then has been 29 seats (2004), with an average of about 20.

Your premise is false, but thanks for playing.

Prior to 1994, Democratic majorities in the House were much larger, averaging 95 over the previous ten years or so, and peaking during that time at 149. Such Democratic margins were, of course, considered the natural order of things by right-thinking people.

Not sure the Senate comes into this, since it takes 60 solid votes to do anything controversial, and the minority can pretty much squelch any legislation they don't like, and usually do.

Lieberman votes with Democrats on everything except war issues.
