in the midterm elections, the Senate would have remained
in Democratic hands and several governor's
seats would have gone to Democrats instead of Republicans.

Republican message of smaller government, less spending
on social programs and anti-taxation.
Across the country, men ? predominantly white men
?voted heavily Republican.
