They haven't even passed any real Wall Street reform after the biggest financial meltdown since '29.

I'm sure that the democrats will lose plenty of seats. an 18 vote majority in the senate is hardly sustainable in the long run.
But the notion that people vote because they want to send a message, and not because of more mundane concerns, is ridiculous.
I know, I know, all the winners tend to try to spin a narrative that shows how their side is being recognized as inherently true.
But that, by itself, doesn't make it true.
Was the democratic victory in NY-23 a sign that the country is becoming left-pinko? Sure not.
And if while the dems are in power the economy bounces back, the dems will gain a huge boost in popularity, but it won't be because all of the sudden the country decided to go commie pinko on us.
