Just curious here, did you think similarly in 2006 when I believe it was time magazine was suggesting that Republicans were an endangered species and that the election was a referendum on the War and was a repudiation of the Republicans way of doing things?
Cause this is arguably a larger result than what happened in 2006 or at least on par with it, and unlike 2006 the Republicans were picking up seats with solid conservatives (some of which knocked out moderate conservatives in primaries) where as many of the 2006 gains were from "blue dog" democrats that were moderates who ran conservative on some issues during the campaign? I think it'd be hard to say that people stating that back in 2006 was legitimate but suggesting this wasn't a repudiation of at least a certain degree of Obama's agenda.
I was being sarcastic #1.
#2. I didn't see it that way in 2006, and I don't see it that way now. All I see is the American people swinging the pendulum one way or the other whenever they have a temper tantrum with the party in power.
