1) The incumbent was clearly beatable
2) The love for Obama wasn't what it was in '08. The "feeling" was more subdued
3) The economy was still shaky
Given this, was this one of the GOP's most disappointing defeats?
It was pretty clear they weren't winning in '08 starting with the day Lehman collapsed.
In '92, they pretty much knew they were done at the beginning of the year with the economy and the raising of taxes.
In '96, Dole was no match for Clinton and they knew the euphoria of '94 had worn off.
Opinions?
