A Second View on Tuesday

For John, BLUF:  Political analysis; where you stand is based on how you voted.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

The New Yorker in a 5 November article by Ryan Lizza asks "Did Republicans Conquer Obamaland?".

The short answer, from the writer's point of view, is No.

Maybe this paragraph summarizes the writer's views:

The Senate races reinforced a major trend of the Obama years: red states are getting redder and blue states are getting bluer, and the number of truly competitive states is dwindling.  The polarization and ideological sorting of the electorate according to geography continues apace.

This article suggests 2016 will see Democrats back in the saddle on Capitol Hill.
