The unequivocal 2006 election results suggest we have entered a new period in American politics. When America s votes were tallied this past November, Democrats had won Election Day majorities in both the Senate and the House for the first time since 1992. The House Democrats margin of victory, furthermore, was very similar to the House Republicans popular vote margin in 1994 a harbinger, perhaps, of a new political era.
