Even I wanted Reid gone! The (R)'s let me down - it should have been a slam dunk!

"This is absolutely true. I've never seen a better example of voters holding their noses and voting for an incumbent as they did with Reid" Pretty much. Except for the O'Donnell case. Granted, he wasn't the incumbent, but the principle is the same. As is the lesson. You cannot win a major race by appealing to a minority. That idea can only win under certain circumstances. And those circumstances are fleeting. Just look at Wyoming. The Right is wasting their final chance on social issues. And the backlash may push them out of power for a generation or more. If they had focused on jobs, they might have cemented a lead to last. But they went after the unions, NPR and Planned Parenthood. Absolutely nothing that puts people back to work. That was a fatal mistake. As the economy improves, people will, as always, look at their pocketbook. As Reagan and the republicans benefited from an improving economy in the 1980s, so will Obama and the Democrats.
