House Incumbent Defeats, 1968-2008
Senate Incumbent Defeats, 1968-2008
Earlier this week Larry Sabato asked if 2010 is a ripe year for a "congressional slaughter." With 40 Congressional seats leaning towards the GOP and a half dozen Governor's races favoring the GOP candidates, his projection might be right. Nonetheless as this chart shows, we never "throw all the rascals out." Incumbency obviously has its advantages.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge. If nothing else I would tell your students about it for an additional resource. </div>)
