@Matt: I think the headline there is true and false. This is, at least in part, a referendum on Obama. And while the key Senate races are in red states it's not like anyone expects Democrats to make big gains in the House races. Obama is pretty unpopular! But it's definitely not a referendum on Obama's "hyperliberalism." It's a referendum on two years when Washington has been so gridlocked that nothing at all has gotten done. 2010 might have been a referendum on liberalism. 2014 is a referendum on drift and paralysis. The irony is that voters, in rejecting it, are going to get more of it.
