1) all 18 previous Republican seats were WON by the Republican Party. No Republican seats were lost in the election.
2) 6 of the 19 previous Democratic seats were LOST by the Democratic Party. The Democrats lost just under one third of their seats in the election. In contrast, at the present time with some seats not yet decided, the Democrat Party lost about 25% of their seats in the House of Representatives.
3) 2 Democratic incumbent Senators lost their seats in the general election.
4) Republicans increased from 18 seats to 24 seats. The Democrats deceased from 19 seats to 13 seats for this election cycle.
Consequently, the Senatorial election of 2010 resulted in a significant loss of seats for the Democratic Party!
