Not much to say about the election results that I haven't already said, but Powerline, as usual, has a nice summary of the outcome and what it mean. While they don't believe the results should be termed a landslide since the margin was 5 to 6 points, it was certainly a solid victory.

Locally, there were some important Republican victories, so Obama's coattails weren't particularly long. In fact, most of my choices won, which is satisfying.

The thought that keeps going through my head is that the country had to endure Jimmy Carter and come to grips with its mistake in electing him, to then correct that mistake by electing Ronald Reagan. If Obama's presidency results in the public realizing how awful liberalism is, and the next Ronald Reagan is elected in 2012... well, I'll take that tradeoff every time.
