And they did, RI, PA, OH, MO, VA, MT, NJ, MD. Amazing really, no one saw that coming to that extent. That's an inside straight! All types of candidates, all parts of the country. Awful.

I agree but I think that we had lots of notice on this from the polls that we ignored. I think that in 2008 we listen to the polls (regardless where they come from) and do something to ensure a change in the polls. I can't believe that we let this get this bad especially since we were told over and over again. I know that FREEPERS hate polls because of previous elections, but obviously they were true this time. I am pretty sick to my stomach over this.

I plead guilty to not trusting the polls this time after all those other years. Especially the exit polls. They all weren't dead-on, but as you say, they were pointed in the right direction. I chose to ignore not due to naivete, but I really believed the GOTV operation was there and couldn't really accept Americans really would put the Dems in charge at this period in our history, even with some GOP disenchantment. I was wrong. Completely and utterly wrong, and I am as nauseous as you about it :(
