Indeed. Plus, the geographic nature of the Senate is such that it results in lopsided votes even when the country is split a little more closely (as, I think, it is in the case). If the country were split 51:49 against Howard, but the distribution of anti-Howard voters was perfect among all states, the Senate vote could be 100:0 as a result of the "electoral college" effect in the Senate. Think Reagan v. Mondale. 59:41 popular vote, but 525:13 electoral.
Commence Slave's start blaming the Dems for having an inefficient distribution of voters to counteract the GOP Christian social agenda.
