How many times are you going to ignore the numbers? There's only a 2 million GOP vote difference between 2008 and 2004, and 2008 saw a lot of independents and minorities going Democrat. Either the base didn't show up and they will NEVER show up because they NEVER have, or they DID show up and you will never get more than 62 million for a Republican candidate ever again. There is no 3rd option unless you ignore reality.
Also, your point about the House is effectively null and void, because the only reason so few seats switched is because of gerrymandering, because Democrats actually won the popular vote for the House. So tell me more about this right-ward shift.
