"We saw a convergence of events that created a perfect storm against the Democrats," Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "What this was all about, and understandably so, was a referendum on 9.5 percent unemployment… We had not made enough progress."

"Nancy Pelosi's been fighting for middle-class Americans for the last 24 months… on Tuesday this was a lot bigger than Nancy Pelosi," Van Hollen said.
