Election day 2010: take 1

So polls have closed in a good part of the country, I suppose it's time to put a few cents in.

Democrats have taken a pounding thus far, whether deserved or undeserved.  But that is usual business for mid-term elections -- the party in power usually loses; 2002 was an apparition (dare I say because of 9/11).

I'll analyze actual results later, as they actually come in and are finalized.

Early cable news coverage was awful.  They did nothing but quibble over EVERYTHING, and loudly at that (true to form, I suppose).  Once network tv coverage began, the scene mellowed, and the coverage was more sublime.  I guess around this time the cable news began to lose SOME of its fury, but it still remains loud whenever they want and for no apparent reason.

Regardless, it looks like party structure in general will be in some sort of disarray/change.  Whoever adapts better would appear to be better suited in 2012, not necessarily who is more productive.
