Swift change

Never say forever in American politics. In the summer of 2008, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi confidently laid out a scenario in which Democrats would win the White House that fall, pick up more congressional seats in 2010 and by 2012 begin to dominate Washington for “a long time to come.”

Responsibility

Republicans swept into power across much of the country, gaining control of the House and more seats in the Senate. What’s more, they won key governors’ races, including victories in swing states like Michigan and Pennsylvania. The comeuppance for President Barack Obama and his party marks the third consecutive presidency in which voters rebuked an administration in a mid-term election.
