Liberals will win, no matter which party is in charge. We've got time.

Whether you are right or not, and no matter which side of the political debate you are on, this is a refreshing attitude. Every election I have lived through is portrayed as The Most Important Election EVER - as if this is the one that will seal history forever. But then, lo and behold, two years later an even more important election follows.

And while Republicans certainly deserve to enjoy yesterday's wins, getting very excited would be foolish. 1994 was a vastly bigger victory, really a dramatic change, and it seemed absurd that the Democrats would keep the White House in two years. Except that they did.

Nothing has changed, nothing has been decided. These were just a couple of elections that will soon be forgotten by all but a few people. The game plays on.
