We lost some good people. I hope some of them come back for another shot.

We fended off some of the wingnuts, I have no doubt we will see some of them try again too.

I think you are absolutely correct in saying that it was the failure to deliver real change, in the form of a government that serves the people instead of helping exploit them, that cost us. Even a stirring failure to deliver "real change" would have been better than the timid tweaking of the status quo that we got.
