Republicans didn't win as big as you think they did. And Obama didn't lose

In the end, there was no Republican wave. Indeed, it was barely a ripple. The Republicans won the US midterms – there’s no denying that – but they didn’t win big. This election cycle included not only conservative-friendly states but a disproportionate number of competitive states in which incumbent Democrats were stepping down. Democrats have not won Louisiana or Arkansas in a presidential election since 1996, Georgia since 1992 and Alaska since 1964. A Democrat in these places is no great surprise. They were low-hanging fruit, and Republicans expended a lot of energy – and even more money – trying to get to it. The GOP fared better on Tuesday night than it did in 2010, two years after which Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney. States where Democrats unexpectedly struggled, like Virginia or Florida, in the governor’s races, are swing states that are always in play.

This election was not a referendum on Obama. Or if it was, it was inconclusive. He is as much the president in New Hampshire, where Democrats won a Senate seat, as in Colorado and Georgia, where they lost.

Not only was it not a wave, it's the worst possible scenario for their hope of winning the WH in the 2016.

I don't like the results either, but you sound delusional.

Maryland gov race went to a repub. Over a black/African-American/negro/colored democrat candidate! That is unheard of.
This means white guilt may have finally run it's course.

 

[Oldstyle]

It's one thing to not go ballistic over a rather bad loss, Hazel...but it's another to pretend it never happened! Other than Shaheen's win in New Hampshire, I'm having a hard time seeing anything positive for Progressives to take from this mid-term. If 2010 was a "shellacking"...this was a second coat!

 

[Borillar]

Yes but did they call it a tidal wave? Maybe just a friendly wave?

Obama invited all the noob Republican Senators for a beer.

Who knows... maybe the repugs will forget to bring their food tasters.

 

[Vigilante]

Senate BENGAZI HEARINGS? Impeachment?

Go to bed Hazel. You're just making a fool of yourself now. Go have a drink, or smoke a joint, anything, so you aren't losing your mind over this epic ass kicking.

 

[Politico]

See we didn't lose more so we won. This is exactly what I said
the Leftytoons would do. And the fact it was nut is even less surprising.

 

[Listening]

Lauging at the OP.

Hazel is whizzing all over his pillow.
