52. Democratic folks were sure 'excited' in my state.

These were individual contests and the individuals running should be held to account for their performance before blaming our party for not having some overriding message that would appeal to voters.
It wasn't really a shock that republicans were 'excited' to vote against our party after we trounced them two years ago. I don't see any evidence that voters were voting 'for' them as much as they rejected Democratic candidates in some key races. Most of the criticism of our party's performance is based on the results of House races. Very little is more localized and subjective to local politics than House races.
Besides, midterms favor the 'anti-voter' more than it favors support for some policy or individual.
