Turnover

So, with the Democrats taking the House and Senate, the entire Republican/Democrat ratio on Capitol Hill changes. Democratic Congressmen and Senators replace Republicans. Thousands of staff positions between members and committees switch parties. Suddenly, Republican dominated lobbying shops desperately race to find Democratic insiders.

So, it all turns over. The ratios quickly adjust.

So why do I suspect that the pundit ratio will remain the same?
(It's the safest job in Washington.)

If the contacts spawning "expert opinion" remain Republican insiders that will make for a very rough road.
