And they should have made an issue of the Federal Judges
Most Americans know diddly about appointments but hate the liberal rulings that come down
Rove is a complete BOOB
I say it over and over it was the fear of the democrats that had kept the GOP in power NOT any political acumen on the part of the GOP

I fully expected to lose seats. I think everyone really did if they were honest with themselves.
Losing this many really sucks.
The whole leadership of the party is country club.
Melhman was concerned with nothing but raising money.
These people had all the cards in their hands, and played the weakest ones.
I honestly thought that at worst we'd lose half of the close seats.
This is what happens when people get comfortable.
My personal opinion is that 1/3 of the people almost always vote GOP, 1/3 almost always vote democrat, and a good portion of the other 1/3 are spineless"moderates" who basically lick their fingers and vote for who they think will win.
I am not into caving in on social issue, i.e., abortion, to attract moderates, but they sure can be won over with talk of a strong economy.
That is exactly how Clinton got out of conviction during his impeachment. He and the LSM were continually saying things like, "but look at the economy" every time he was on TV.
That tactic worked, and it would have rescued a lot of seats this time.
