Anyone who thought that the elections were over when the Democrats walked up the staircase of the Capitol building, to slurs and spittal, over the weekend: May have to re-think their campaign tactics strategy. Conservatives need to be apologetic for the anti-abortion clerics, apparently, at the Vatican: Even over the weekend.
Actually, the Democrats are perceived to have done the right thing for the United States, of the voting and non-voting people(?)!

Many polled were pleased and ecstatic. The gridlock created by the GOP was overcome. The White House West Wing kept its word with (in)famous Exectuive Order. The results were less the cliff-hanger than the polls had recorded prior to the vote. And then off to the side notice the 4 in 10 of the underemployed have no health coverage.
Prior to the actual vote, all of the Tea Party, able to chant and be happy, were almost saying, "Dewey Wins!" just like in the polls.
After the vote results were in, even former Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley--now dead, and late for nothing--would have been wondering just what all the polls had been showing! Bradley was black, even at the time, and was expected to be a shoo-in, and lost the famous election for governor.
Finally, everyone woke up to the health care vote, and then it all made sense to everyone!
And then it is back to the "Bradley Effect." In the case of national health insurance, Pointedly, the absence of a coherent, concise, Democratic sales pitch before the final votes, would be said to have left a lot of people less than inclined to express support for a national health plan. The GOP would even call the Democrats "Arrogant," in tiny measure because they could be said to have seen no apparent reason to explain it to anyone.
The national press coverage was left to focus less on substance, and moe on opposition.
Then there was an outcome, and November is no doubt being regarded by The Democrats as a shoo-in, all over again!
