A story missing from the 2010 horse-race reporting...

NYTimes article in today's paper makes an important point of context for the upcoming take over of the House by Republicans...

As they face the certainty of losses, Democrats are in a sense victims of their own success after winning 55 seats and expanding far into conservative territory over the last two election cycles. Now they are trying to defy history and demographics as they struggle to hang on to the districts in a midterm election with their party in the White House.

Its not all Anti-Obama, or anti-RomneyCare.  Many of the loses that Democrats will have on election day are a part of the normal systemic shifts that occur historically.
