Why did the Democrats lose so badly in 2010?

[Pessimistic Antineutrino]

You had Pelosi on the news saying Obamacare had to be passed to know what was in the bill. Seemed like they rammed it through as well to most people.

No that was an out-of-context quote played by the media over and over and over again. We lost as badly as we did because our President is Black and that resulted in the chickens coming home to roost in the South. Combine that with health care, which resulted in everyone drawing effigies of Obama defaced to look like Hitler and the entire thing went to Hell.

If we'd elected Hillary in 2008, we would still control Congress today.

Only a third of Republican gains were from the South... they would still have taken over the House 220-215 if no Southern seat flipped in 2010.
