What Happened Tuesday?
Everyone saw Tuesday's Republican sweep coming, so this really isn't about dissecting Obamacare wrath, Tea Party angst or any of the other issues. What amazes us at Brett is how widespread the changers were nationwide.
According to the New York Times, Republicans made strides in almost every major demographic on Tuesday. Now some such as Hispanics and Asians are still low numbers, but it shows something happened to get people's attention.
It's a stark turnaround from 2008 when many political insiders declared the Republican Party dead and nothing more than a "regional" group. The region expanded, but in this ever changing political climate it remains to be seen if the party can keep that base or face a 2012 revolt by the Democrats.
