Looking at the Senate races it struck me that the Ds won in the big states by big margins and the Rs won in the smaller and medium size states. I added up the totals from CNN's web page and found this:
Party...........Votes.....Percent
Republican...37,850,613....47.9%
Democrat.... 41,219,148....52.1%
Total....... 79,069,761...100.0%
Now obviously raw vote doesn't matter one bit in determining who controls the Senate, but it sure makes a nice spin point. Remind people every chance you get -- the good guys got more votes!!!
