You can take solace in the fact that the losses were less than Obama's first midterm election with actual gains in the Senate. In comparison, Obama and the Dems lost 63 House seats and 6 Senate races and huge losses in the states... considering that a wave, this was barely a high tide. I'd say this was successful with an unpopular President considering what happened in 2010 was the worst loss in a midterm election since 1948.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
