I agree that it doesn't take much of a split to get a large looking
majority, but I think this election was about "values".

There's a Religious Right that's been gaining power for the last
decade and their issues were front and center in this election:

+ Gay Marriage
+ Abortion
+ "how do you pray?"

I think this year will be remembered as the year when we forgot about
the economy and focused on the 3 Gs: guns, gays, and God.  For the
guns part you can add in Iraq and the war on terrorism.

I think, therefore, the items for citizens to watch are:

1.) Your liberties: specifically the Patriot Act.
2.) Your wallet: specifically the nation's twin deficits.
3.) Your reputation: how easy is it to do business abroad, to fight
wars, to share peace.
