Red Team Report:

Scarborough told NEWSWEEK that it became a “running joke” for members of the Class of ‘94 to say to each other, “Well, there goes the revolution,” every time one of their Contract With America reforms—like imposing term limits on members of Congress—was abandoned by lawmakers intoxicated with power.

Blue Team Report:

What you missed was Carville, a former Clinton adviser, charging Dean with “leadership that was Rumsfeldian in its incompetence” and arguing that if it hadn’t been for Dean, the party would have gained even more seats in the midterms. At a gathering of the Association of State Democratic Chairs in Wyoming, Dean responded: “This is the new Democratic Party. The old Democratic Party is back there in Washington; sometimes they still complain a little bit.”
