The 2008 election cycle was the high point for the modern Democratic Party. With a landslide in
the Electoral College, a 9.5 million popular vote advantage for President, and wins in the House,
Senate, and in the States, Democrats were poised and positioned to lock in those gains for a
generation.

For the first time since the 1964 election of President Johnson, Democrats gained seats in both
chambers while winning the White House. Democrats expanded their House majority to 257
seats, gaining 21 seats, and grew to 60 seats in the Senate, with wins in New Hampshire, Virginia,
North Carolina, Minnesota, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, and Alaska.

In the states, Democrats flipped six legislative chambers, while Republicans flipped four.
Democrats retained the governorships in New Hampshire, Delaware, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Montana, and Washington, and flipped Missouri.

These gains did not last long – as Democrats failed to capitalize on the economic disaster of the
Bush presidency by cementing a relationship with working Americans.

We failed because we did not hold anyone accountable … not one fukking banker, allowed too big to fail to be the rule, and did not hold bush/cheney to account for TWO (2) TRILLION DOLLAR WARS
