A less spittle-flecked read of this is that it's an extremely anti-incumbent environment in Washington. We're mired in an economy that was crushed by a decade of spending on wars, tax cuts and a housing bubble embraced by the Bush administration and it will take years to dig out from it.

And the American people are angry that the infrastructure that allowed that to happen wasn't completely torn down rather than being methodically controlled and monitored by new laws the Democrats brought to the table. They're also angry that Republicans are doing nothing but wasting time in Congress, like a brat that didn't get what they wanted for their birthday.

They're angry at whoever's in power now for the situation we're in now without regard for how long it takes to repair an economy, and they're angry that the gridlock in Washington is ensuring that very little gets done. So they want everyone out, Democrats and Republicans alike.

How exactly is that a win for Republicans?
