Democratic Big Dogs, Blue Dogs, Young Pups Swept Away
Decades-long Republican takeover strategy nearly complete after at least 19 House members, Lincoln lose seats

Change has turned to carnage for Democrats on Capitol Hill.

Freshmen. Veterans. East. West. North. South. Conservative. Liberal. If it was blue, it bled.

Voters who didn't believe in the change President Obama's party gave them -- economic stimulus, health care coverage, financial reform -- cashiered more of them than in possibly any midterm election since 1938. At least 60 seats in the House and a minimum of six in the Senate now belong to Republicans.

What a waste, so much talent thrown out of office. No area was safe. Damn!!!

2. I hadn't read the list of those who lost until now.

What an aberration. Even the despised (by the left) Blue Dogs were a better choice than the new crop of Republicans that are about to take over in January.
