Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs admitted that the Democratic Party will have to come up with a more dramatic synonym for “shellacking” tomorrow, telling an MSNBC panel that the combination of Senate and governor pick-ups by the Republican Party constitutes a clear electoral wave.
The Maryland governorship unexpectedly passed to Republican governor-elect Larry Hogan — “a state that is essentially Democrat,” host Chris Matthews lamented.
“Look, I think it’s going to be an interesting press conference at the White House tomorrow,” Gibbs said. “I was there in 2010, when we — I will say this, the world ’shellacking’ has been taken.”
“But uh — no, I think this is a big wave,” Gibbs conceded. “This is a big wave.”
