40. "It's swing-voting independents who, as usual, made the difference today."

"Independents favored Republicans for House by a thumping 15 points, 55-40 percent, in the national exit poll. Compare that to Obama's 8-point win among independents in 2008.

If it holds in updates, it'll be the Republicans' biggest win among independents in exit polls dating to 1982 � by a single point. The GOP won independents by 14 points in 1994, the last time they took control of the House."

The people trying to pin his loss in 2010 on Progressives are simply uninformed, or they have an agenda, or they are just plain stupid.
