Way to not see the big picture Novenator. Republicans winning gubernatorial races in states that Obama had solidly won is a clear sign that people are pissed with the Democratic agenda. Gibbs can claim it's about local issues all he wants, but that's simply not the whole truth. Democrats, that includes Obama, Senators, Congressman, etc, were elected in large part to a massive backlash against Bush policy. The DNC could have put a retarded dog in a clown suit up for election, and it would have stood a good chance of winning the 2008 election.People wanted the political climate to change. They wanted parties to work together again to create laws and policy that's good for all Americans. What we got is an even more polarized administration.
