administration officials" attributed the predicted defeat on Election
Day -- then still a week and a half off -- of Virginia Democratic
gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds to Deeds' failure to seek and
heed advice from the Obama White House.

All of these rationalizations and excuses are baloney, bunk and
bushwa. Off-year elections do matter, especially psychologically.
Victories help fundraising, help candidate recruitment and lift party
morale. Defeat can leave in its wake anxiety, even panic in party
ranks. As Bill McInturff, the trusted Republican pollster, told
reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor, "You
cannot imagine the carnage of losing 54 House seats (the number
Republicans lost between the 2006-08 elections)."
