I'm one of the few lone wolves here, but definitely an FF. She's done what her job entails even if there is some controversy involved with the task - defend the party as much as possible and raise money. Simple as that. Plus the two of us share very similar views, FWIW.
No, Obama ran a great campaign. He managed to define Romney as an out of touch elitist and along with Republican gaffes, managed to have a strong down ballot effect. Obama's use of social media and the GOTV effort was superb. Meanwhile, Romney was so confident of victory that he allowed all of this to happen.
As for the DNC as a funraiser, why did they lose the Senate while outpacing the GOP in terms for SuperPAC donations?
Finally, on the bit about losing the debate with you, well, I don't give up. I learn by losing

Like IceSpear said, DWS's main priority is fundraising and she definitely did that last year by helping House/Senate Democrats outraise the GOP. Money wasn't really the reason why Democrats lost the Senate - it was primarily horrible, horrible turnout, and that's something to take up with the communications department of the DNC.
And then there's other things to like weak candidates who were put up last year, candidates running to the right of the Republicans on some issues which annoyed plenty of liberals, very low turnout of those who are below 30 (though some of that can be contributed to GOP disenfranchisement of young voters in 2014 battlegrounds like NC), and then there was other mistakes made like failure to focus on middle class issues enough, not enough Latino outreach, and sending the wrong messages.
DWS should not be blamed for all of that as much as say other people who work within certain sectors of the DNC.
