One way to look at last night's election is that the implicit gerrymandering of the Senate and the in-the-tank-ness of the press corps are keeping people from realizing how big the blowout was. Consider this: it looks like 32,100,000 (sic) Americans voted for Democratic Senatorial candidates, and only 24,524,000 (sic) Americans voted for Republican Senatorial candidates. That's a 13.4% margin of Democratic victory.
