I'm not.
At least, not if Democrats campaign like they did this year.
There have already been plenty of diaries up about what went wrong last night. I don't feel like rehashing everything here, because you've probably heard it all before, but the basic problem was that in most races, the Democratic candidate decided to simply bank on their Republican opponent being fucking insane.
And yes, Democrats, your Republican opponent is insane. That might be a good enough reason for some of us, but for most people, it's not.
Democrats have concocted the excuse that our voters don't show up for midterms. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy, it turns out. Democrats don't show up for midterms because Democrats campaign on the assumption that Democrats don't show up for midterms, which leads to Alison Lundergan Grimes refusing to answer the question of whether or not she voted for President Obama. It leads to Mark Warner criticizing President Obama's handling of ebola. (Democrats lucked out on that one because some incompetent fuck at the NRSC decided that Ed Gillespie didn't stand a chance and pulled out of the race.)
The common denominator in almost all of Democrats' losses last night is that Democrats spent most of their time trying to court, basically, Romney voters. They bought into the Fox News-fueled myth that the Obama administration has been horrible.
