ANOTHER NATIONAL ELECTION RESULT

(h/t Jonathan Singer at MyDD)

The Green Papers did a little homework and tallied up the total vote for the House broken down by party affiliation and the result shows that America sure isn't a "center-right" country:

Democrats 59,175,953 53.01%
Republicans 49,340,447 44.20%

MyDD also found that the Democrats set a record:

Not only did Democrats win the White House and pick up additional House and Senate seats, they also accomplished this feat: For a second-straight cycle, not a SINGLE incumbent Democratic senator lost. In fact, the Cook Political Report's Jennifer Duffy points out that this is the first time since at least 1908 (before the direct election of senators) that a party has gone through two consecutive cycles without losing a seat.
