The Democratic Senate has been in power during a time of Main Street economic malaise. So Main Street threw them out. If the GOP fucks it up over the next 24 months, which they will because the economic problems we face are beyond political control, they'll lose seats.

Bullshit. Last night was all about what happens when you shrink the electorate by taking away less engaged voters - who skew younger, poorer and more diverse - and have a vote among a more concentrated group of older, whiter, richer voters.
