Bob Harris has a really good look at what this historic victory means. It’s worth reading the whole thing, but here’s the part that really got me between the eyes:
If the numbers stay as they are (pending recounts, etc.), here’s the final scoreboard, assuming I haven’t missed something:
Not one Democratic incumbent lost in the Senate.
Not one Democratic incumbent lost in the House of Representatives.
Not one Democratic incumbent lost in any state Governorship.All told, 504 major offices were at stake tonight.
Not one changed hands going Democrat to Republican.
Wow.
Wow. I hadn’t realized that…
