Elections 2010: People’s mandate to the lapdogs, transformational or just a Yosemite Sam Tea Party moment?

The result of the mid-term general election 2010 is a great example of the genius of the founders. Their concept of checks and balances and of three co-equal branches of government is simple and elegant. A split congress---in this case the house of representatives with a GOPer majority and the senate a DEM majority. This slows things down and forces conversation and some form of working together to get anything done. It is also an opportunity for anyone who cares to observe that it really doesn’t matter who is in power---it’s all about the status quo.
