"Landslide" is quite subjective, no?

I wouldn't call it a landslide; more a solid whooping. Everyone has their own definition.

The rights' problem isn't really with memory, but their lack of understanding of macroeconomics. They think a country is ran the same way an individual would run their personal household economy. [spoiler alert] It doesn't work that way. Also, their(the rights) understanding of social issues are pretty dismal and self-defeating, too. Generally, as one becomes more knowledgeable of those things I listed, they move further away from the rights' agendas.

Liberals, maybe you should hold off just a bit on the death knells, particularly when your party has dirty laundry itself: refusal to cut government spending (both welfare and defense).
Who in 2008 said it was "supposed to be" the end of the right wing? A Fox talking point? Krauthammer? Dickie Morris? Some other Fox "expert"?
Suddenly after January 2008 concerned about spending are you? Yep, like most right-wingers.
Why should dems stop what repugs have been doing all along? Who controls congress? For one thing, congressional repugs have wanted to give the Pentagon more than it asked for. A highly-funded military has always been more republican than democrat.

GOP budget boosts defense spending - The Hill's DEFCON Hill

Here's the latest. You blame democrats for not cutting defense spending - explain why you believe repubs are out of the picture on this.
House Dems, GOP embrace cuts in defense spending - Yahoo! News

Here's another tidbit. This info only goes up to 2005, but it exposes another big lie propagated historically by the repub Right.

And the right was supposed to sweep the senate too.

Why do conservatives believe these fantasies about the 2010 midterms. Over 40million fewer voters voted in the 2010 midterms than the 2008 election. The 2010 victories were the result of voters not voting. It was not a conservative party resurgence.

Once the fantasy is gone.....what do they have left?
