Even The Huffington Post cannot let the down-ballot gutting of the
Democrats go unnoticed. Senior politics editor Sam Stein was on MSNBC’s
Morning Joe Wednesday, where he said that while Obama was re-elected
twice proving himself to be an excellent candidate—his party has
suffered catastrophic losses during his presidency. In all, the
Democrats have lost 1,030 seats at the state and federal level, a wipeout
of at least a generation of Democratic talent. Stein added that with
such a political butcher’s bill, you have to ask whether this man was
good for Democrats (via The Hill):
You look at the destruction of the Democratic Party under Barack Obama’s leadership and you have to wonder, what was the political — what were the electoral benefits that he gave to the party?” Stein asked on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” on Wednesday.
“He leaves them in a much worse position,” Stein continued. “The states are decimated, they lost control of the House and Senate, the governorships are decimated.”
