So blaming (mythical) Republican voters who were smart enough to know better but voted D anyway is off base. Sure you may find some few of these beasts, but the swing was not made up of defecting Republicans. It was made up of swing voters.

I agree with majority of your post .. though I would change the "(mythical) Republican" part ...

There were many conservatives .. whether they were Constitutional Party, Libertarian Party, Reformer or Independents .. they were very influential to many of those "I feel" voters that you mentioned

Before the election I laughed them off and did not take their threat seriously

What are you gonna do, dream up even harsher words to alienate them?

Even Rush Limbaugh said after the election that he felt liberated by the GOP losses -- because he would no longer have to get on the air and defend stupid, idiotic policies promoted by the Republican Party in Washington.
