Tuesday's Ripple Effects

In your ongoing appreciation of Tuesday's election results, don't forget to be grateful for these developments.

* Republicans now control 54 state legislative chambers, giving them a huge advantage in redistricting which, of course, yields yet more Congressional seats.

* In the remarkable defeats of stalwarts like Spratt, Oberstar, Skelton, Edwards and others, Democrats have lost decades of powerful seniority.

* Fox News dominated the cable news election night coverage, effectively muting the liberal spin of CNN which controlled the airwaves for so long. America is getting better, fairer news than ever before and Republican stars are getting greater access to the public. It's all good.
