Despite Republicans expanding their majority in the House by more than 10 seats, retaking control of the Senate and increasing their strength in state legislatures, Nancy Pelosi denies the midterm elections were a Republican wave.

"I do not believe what happened the other night is a wave," Pelosi told Politico.

"There was no wave of approval for the Republicans. I wish them congratulations, they won the election, but there was no wave of approval for anybody. There was an ebbing, an ebb tide, for us."

Republicans increased their majority to 53 seats in the Senate this morning when the Republican Dan Sullivan was declared the victor in Alaska.

The final Senate contest will be decided in a runoff on Dec. 6 between Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu and Republican challenger Bill Cassidy.

Pelosi told Politico that the problem is not with the Democratic message or their priorities, but in a failure to engage voters.

"Next year has to be the year to expand the universe of people who vote. I'm concerned that eligible voters did not vote in the election this year," Pelosi told Democratic members, according to The Hill.

"We have the magic and the resources to have massive voter registration over the country — not just places that might benefit the Democrats," she added.

Some Democrats, however, believe it was not the turnout but the message that was the problem.

New Jersey Democratic Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. said Democrats would not win if they continued talking about Pelosi’s favored "When Women Succeed, America Succeeds" agenda.

"Where the hell were the Democrats? What were we talking about?" he told the Bergen County Record. "We’re losing white men. Why are we not talking about that? Why are we always concerned with what’s the politically correct thing to say?"

There was a wave, but it’s now up to REPUBLICANS to prove that the people sent them there to try to pass conservative legislation.

For the first time in a very, very long time, I'm thinking that this time the Pubbies just might do something. If they don't, it's time for a Revolution in about a year or so. The American people will have to take to the streets with the biggest march on Washington ever witnessed in this nation and drive all the freakin' politicians out of that city; running, scared to death of an American public that is armed and mad as hell and not taking it anymore.
