People could be easily confused

Democrats had plenty of time to change course. On the contrary, decided that people could be easily confused. The weak economy and previous Democratic victories meant that Republicans could do well in this election, especially in the House. But it was the obstinacy of the Democrats who turned defeat into a fiasco. The Republicans took control of the House, defeated Liberals heavyweights as Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, and collected laws of government and state. The House will now have more Republicans than in any year from 40.
