Kind of reminds me of 2006 when the Dems won both the House and Senate. Republicans then tried to argue it was a 'victory for conservatism.' I remember my little chat with a few fellow bloggers back then who went on and on about how the Democratic Blue Wave was proof of a conservative victory for America. In 2008, when the Dems picked up even more seats in the House and Senate and won the White House, Republicans again tried to credit "conservatism" for the win even going so far as to claim Obama's victory was because he ran as a conservative, even absurdly calling Obama a Reaganite!
In April of 2009 when Specter defected to the Dems, Republicans went on the airwaves praising it as evidence of a GOP comeback!
Even as recently as November 2009 when the Repubs lost NY-23, they tried to claim it was yet another victory for their movement.
Everything they do is a victory for conservatism. As delusional as they are, I suppose if you keep repeating it long enough you eventually get to pick up a seat, something they haven't done since 2002. The only thing that allows the Republican absurdity of "always victory" to continue is that I think Democrats believe it more than Republicans.
