Here’s Mickey Kaus’ take on

Here’s Mickey Kaus’ take on the election. Kaus ridicules the concept of “50-50 nation.” But remember, the Republicans picked up only two or three Senate seats (on a night when traditionally Republican states were almost entirely the ones in play) and only four to seven House seats. This is an excellent accomplishment in an incumbent President’s first mid-term election. And it is a significant accomplishment because it leaves the Republicans with control of the presidency and both houses of Congress. But, in my view, it doesn’t signal a major shift in where the electorate stands today.
