Ok so it worked but...

The republicans of USA most definitely got the seats in the House they wanted and had good improvements in Senate and very much so in the Governors. Yet it wasnt the epic legendary landslide victory they had anticipated.
Republicans gained: 6 seats in senate (hoped for 8)
                               60 house seats (hoped for 80)          
                               8 governors (hoped for 5)

Lets see how these next two years turn out with the Obama administration having taken a shot in the leg.
