Dems performed better in the Senate than the House. Here's why

Advertisements [?]

David Frum put into words something I was thinking about earlier tonight.

Is tonight's theme: Generic Republicans win, specific Republicans less strong- especially if over-identified with TP?

House races are less publicized and people know less about House candidates. Senators are practically rock stars compared to members of the House. So what does that mean?

The more people knew about the Republican candidate, the worse they did.

There's just no way Republicans shouldn't have won in Nevada, but they lost because Angle is so crazy that she couldn't even win in the best year in ages for Republicans. And the economy is even worse in Nevada than it is elsewhere.
