Time the revelator
The farther we get away from last Tuesday's election the more perspective returns. Joshua Micah Marshall gives a more measured postmortem. This the important fact:
Though the press is calling the GOP's gains historic, the party's victory was in fact quite modest: It seems to have netted four seats in the House and two in the Senate. But for the Democrats, this offers little consolation: Tuesday night's results were almost more devastating than the cataclysmic losses they suffered in 1994 - and not simply because the loss of two Senate seats eliminated the one bastion of Democratic power in Washington
