It's not ignoring it. The local (municipal and county) and state elections are carried out by the exact same people electing US Senators and Reps. Do you not understand that? If you go to the polls you vote local, state, and US all at the same time. So how does this change the nature of the voter turn out? Sour grapes? Hardly. It's not the end of the world nor is it the beginning of a new one. You folks that play in this "Us against Them" game of American politics can have your victory parties and gloat, or wallow in despair. I don't care. It will swing back eventually. Either way I can't care. Nothing is going to change in two years.
What I do UNDERSTAND is the distinction between a trend and one time occurrence.
The GOP has been gaining seats for some time now.
And you may be right, given enough time we DID go from Reagan to Obama.
I think the difference is the lefts ideology isn't just failing here in the US, its failing all over the world.
The more the World shifts towards Liberalism, Socialism and Progressivism the worse things become.
