What contortions?

Why did the GOP universally run against Obama when he's not running for anything? Or do you think that didn't happen? What else did they run on? What was their platform.... besides "we're not Obama!"?

It is a simple fact that can be looked up that most states in play were red.


"Thanks, Obama! You've won re-election twice, but you are responsible for candidates that didn't win, because RACISM! "

That's just what happened. Only Obama didn't "do" anything except be black.

Dems haven't run on a Dem ticket since Carter.... and you're just now noticing?
