5. That was going to be the angle they wen with no matter what the result.
If the Democrats would have won, the focus would have been on "how difficult it was for them to retain their seats". Especially in the "Democratic stronghold" of Virginia.
The media is only going to focus on the narrative they have been setting up for months. They are fixated on the idea that somehow Obama is weakened and the Republicans are resurgent. Anything to back up that preconceived notion is what they are going to run with.
By tomorrow, the story that teabaggers (the resurgent republican party) destroyed their own chances of electing a conservative in NY-23 will be a footnote.
