Quick take on the election results

Posting will be light, as I have to go do an errand, which will take up most of the morning.

As of now, which is shortly before 5 am., it looks like a Democrat takeover of the House, by a very narrow margin.  They needed 24, they got 26.  This is not a big victory, but it is a victory for them.

In Texas, Cruz beats O'Rourke, by not by all that much.  In my old neighborhood, the GOP seat held by a long term incumbent, John Culberson, was lost.  This was very unfortunate, as Culberson was good for Texas, and served the state and country well.  That loss was a bit hard to fathom for yours truly.

All in all, it seems like little has changed.  The tribes remained in their places, just as dead set against each other as before.  The crossover of Latinos and Blacks probably didn't happen.  Or, if it did, it was of limited effect.

I suppose I could go into further commentary, but there will be plenty of time for that, and I really don't have the time right now.
