2010 was essentially a mandate against inverted socialism - against Executive bailouts and welfare, of the very """leaders""" that failed the World. Only the Tea Party reflected that outrage with sincerity, so it emerged with the most impressive election gains. However, TP seems to have taken a wild notion that it were their extreme and core positions on zero tax and zero deficit and no_social_safety_net_Bottom-or-Top that were ratified by the electorate. So it is pushing the parts that actually have little traction generally -- that's why its rallies now get mere 300 people out of which 100+ are contributed by the media! However, neither mainstream Conservatives nor Liberals have really taken on reverse Socialism, there isn't even a sincere sounding outrage against GE's effectively NEGATIVE taxation from any political block...so 2010 mandate actually stands lost. Nobody's gained from it for 2012 (bcos everyone has ignored it), while the ~ centre types voters that joined the Tea Party for 2010 are now so-to-speak the losers.
