6. 2010 was lost because Obama wasn't on the ballot.

Not because of ponywishers that stayed home. Our party just doesn't come out for midterms, Republicans always come out for every election.

The people that stayed home in 2010 were all the people that voted in 2008 only because Obama was running. His team should have kept that ground operation in place everywhere and emphasized that voting for Dems in the midterms was the same as voting for him.

I hope they learned that lesson and he repeats this fact endlessly. Otherwise the same thing is going to happen again.
