If Democrats lose the Senate who should we blame? [View all]

The 15% of liberal Democrats that don't approve of Obama?

The 29% of moderate Democrats that don't approve of Obama?

The 40% of conservative Democrats that don't approve of Obama?

And please don't try to be nuanced here - some wing of the party needs to take full blame if the Senate is lost.

I'd like to get started on making my effigy.
