The fact that the Democrats outspent the Republicans by a factor of 7[1] and still lost. But that's exactly my point: the Democrats tried to manufacture a candidate in a time of dire need instead of first going for school boards, local municipalities, etc. For what it's worth, Handel was a pretty terrible candidate too. Just goes to show how weak the Democratic strategists are. Obama won because he was an excellent candidate. Here's a novel idea for Democrats: get more awesome people to run for office.
