Well, the Democrats took the House, and may have taken the Senate as well (the deciding factors aren’t likely to be known for a month or so yet). On the whole, this is about an average gain for this point in a two-term presidential administration. There’s not as much of a shake-up as we would see if there were, say, term limits on Congress, but don’t expect THAT one any time soon. My predictions seem to have been fairly close — the Democrats got a few more seats in the House than I predicted, but the Senate predictions were more or less on the money. It’s harder to predict congressional elections, so I’m more or less pleased with myself.
I’m really glad the election is over. I’m thoroughly sick of politics for now. However, now I have something new to hate: early Christmas stuff.
