Well, that, and possibly quite a bit of vote fraud.

You have to remember the Democrats wanted at least some degree of symbolic victory, if not the real thing, so they did all they could for Hairy Reed and Don Cuomo while leaving many lesser entities WITHOUT CAMPAIGN FUNDS or technical support (meaning, voting machine fixers, etc.)

Democrat triage was public information!

You talk about a FAIL, that was a FAIL.

When you lose the House, you have just lost control of appropriations and taxes.

BINGO. You just identified a winning *strategy* for taking out the Donks.

Assign a serious electoral threat to their leaders and they will spend all their money defending that leader, leaving their flanks exposed.

For the Donks, it's all about Power -- except when it's about EGO.

Cheers!

Reid's would have been a nice scalp, but as it turns would not have been the magical 51st senator, and then Reid would have been replaced with a more palatable Maj. Leader.

Harry will be the face of Democrats in Congressional battles, and that's not good for Dems. I don't think he'll be dumped...he "found" Obie after all.
