2010: GOP underwhelmingly
What? Is this because the GOP didn't win the Senate? The only reason they didn't was because Dems had a huge majority that had been mainly built up over the past two cycles (which weren't up that year).
They could easily have won 9 seats, but blew 3 of them by nominating lunatics.Sure, but that's a good problem to have, relative to most other cycles.
What about Governors? State legislators? What about the fact you've ranked a bunch of other cycles clearly much weaker for the party you've named (e.g. 2000) as not being underwhelming?
