Not one Dem incumbent defeated

It's official. The Republicans failed to beat a single Democratic incumbent Senator, Representative or Governor last week. The counting has ended in the two close races against incumbent Democratic Representatives in Georgia and the Democrats have come out ahead.

Just how big is this? From CQ Politics:
Barrow's win also means the Democrats held all of their House, Senate and gubernatorial seats — including open seats where they were the incumbent party — that were up for election this year, a feat not accomplished since World War II.

Note-You'll also see there that Rep. Steny Hoyer easily won his bid to be the Majority Leader of the House.
