Not a referendum
That's the talking point direct from the White House, why, Gibbsy didn't even stay up to watch. And the media, every one of them, are repeating it right on cue. They know their lines and their role. Actually, I agree. Two governors and a district in NY are hardly a landslide for Republicans/conservatives. Especially since it's hard to get a piece of dental floss between the parties. But if this were 2006 and Bush were in the WH--Oh my, would they be singing spinning a different story.

As I'm sure you've heard by now, the Republicans/Conservatives didn't win all three, the Democrat won in NY's 23 district.
Since you're already engaging in a favorite pastime of the right, hammering the media. Have you ever stopped to consider that the 2006 election, you referenced, may have simply been more newsworthy than yesterdays? In 2006, the Dems took control of the House by a 233-202 margin. Gained a 49-49 tie in the Senate and won 6 Republican-held Governorships. And for the first time in US history, no Republican captured any House, Senate, or Gubernatorial seat previously held by a Democrat. In this year's election, the right gained 2 Governorships and the left picked up a House seat. Hardly on a parity with 2006's election results.
The emperor not only has no coattails he has no clothes.
You're right, I should have said 2004 when Dems lost and decided they would mascarade as "values" candidates to retake the government in 2006. And with the help of a few RINOs it worked.
