Congress has grown less popular, but increasing majorities think the solution is to throw out Republicans, not Democrats. 29 Republicans looked at the race and decided to retire, and others suffered stunning special election defeats.

If John McCain, a 35-year veteran of the beltway, can market himself as a maverick for change, why not the House Republicans? But Boehner's rollout is likely to run into perilous craters.
