.....Americans with war and national security on their minds have wearied, too, of partisan bickering.....

The fact is, little changed. the different camps are so even that most of the Congress remained the same as it was.

The Republican attack across the country was focused on those areas where an attack with maximum available resources was possible and given some measure of potential success. Maximum available is different from overwhelming force/resources that was not possible. Some of those focused attacks were successful and some were repulsed.

The success rate was barely adequate. A followon attack will be made in LA to increase the total success.

Where the attacks were successful, the number of minds changed was small. Most voters voted the previously entrenched positions. A few voters were in fact frightened and voted for personal physical security over personal economic security.

The Republicans did not win an overwhelming victory. They gained control and now must act to change the minds of entrenched Rats as well as more of those in the middle with no permanent convictions.

No. That implies that voting democrat would somehow be good for the economy and voting Republican would somehow be harmful to the economy. That's just a democrat myth.
