Basically what happened for the most part was the consolidation of Republican control. Take a look at TN. You were greedy in regards to this state, as was Barone perhaps, but with the current map Republicans are basically guaranteed to hold their seats even if they mess around with Medicare and Social Security. Trying to crack Nashville could have ended very badly for Republicans but now they are able to secure the gains they made in a very Republican year. Same thing happened in PA, OH and other states. Republicans won many marginal seats in 2010 and were able to secure them with redistricting making it look like a wash.
