Remember the New York district that hadn't gone Democrat, ever?

I seem to vaguely remember some other special elections before the Nov 2010 election that were supposed to indicate.......something disastrous for the GOP?

Again, what is there to celebrate for the Left in WI? OH? IN?

I repeat - look at Gov Daniels - horribly unpopular the first 6 months.....then what happened?

Busted the unions, balanced the budget, low taxes.......overwhelmingly reelected.

I can understand wanting to ignore this relevant example of where your little meme falls apart.

There was the May 2010 race for Pennsylvania’s 12th District, in which Democrat Mark Critz pulled off a win in a marginal Pittsburgh-area district that President Barack Obama had lost in 2008. In 2009, Democrats picked off two other Republican-leaning upstate New York districts in specials—the 23rd in November and the 20th in March.

Back then there was also talk about how these elections were clear indications of future Democratic victories in the 2010 mid-term elections.
Need I remind you what happened in Nov 2010?

Oh, let's not forget you had a fake TP candidate in the race, pulling votes from the R.
