Thanks to everyone who left a comment: Karl, BorderExplorer, Punditty, Gino, Maria, Muhhamad and Dava. I really appreciate the comments and I chose to report on this topic not necessarily because I am Democrat or Republican, but rather, because the mid-term elections made a such a definitive statement and I am curious to find out what happens in 2012.
