Rummy actually resigned before midterm election.

From Thinkprogress:

Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld “resigned as defense secretary before last year’s November election but his decision was not announced until after the voting, according to his resignation letter. … The letter was dated Nov. 6, the day before voters, angered by Iraq, went to the polls and swept Republicans from power in Congress. According to a stamp on the letter, President George W. Bush saw it on election day.” Bush, however, waited until the day after the election to announce Rumsfeld’s resignation.

Well, see, now that is EVIDENCE that the Gerbil is STUPID. There might have been a few more votes for Republicans rather than all those votes against them had Rummy resigned before the election.
