If you are right about Obama and the Democrats then an overwhelming
win on their part will, as you say, destroy the Democratic brand. Look
what it did to the Republicans over the last eight years. Okay, I know
you will start jumping up and down and yellowing Pelosi! Reid! Fine --
but Pelosi and Reid didn't get much done because the Senate
Republicans set an unprecendented record of filibustering  or
threatening to filibuster Democratic bills and Bush was able to veto
the rest.
