AKMA puts it fairly well:
If the Democratic Party can’t win in a year when the incumbent President is administering an unpopular, unsuccessful foreign war, when a blockbuster semi-documentary made millions of dollars exposing that President’s short-comings, when the economy is uncertain, when the Red Sox won the World Series — under what circumstances can it win?
I don’t much care about the Red Sox (Cubs in ’05, man) but, you know, yeah.
Why?
I have tremendous hope for the next four years. I’m looking forward to seeing what a largely politically unencumbered president and Republican Congress can do. Do it to it, guys! Show us you’re a party I shouldn’t groan at!!
