What have we learned during these post-election weeks?

Mainstream media sources and the blogosphere as well have been going overboard trying to interpret the results of the 2006 midterm elections in the U.S.  Many different angles are being explored but I am simply going to take a meta view instead of adding my two cents in any one area.

This was a broad reaction to a lot of little nagging questions.  Some outlets are convinced that the results of the election reflect the general feelings about the war in Iraq.  Others talk about the cultures of corruption and incompetence that characterize the Bush Administration and Republican leadership in Congress.  Others claim it was a repudiation of all things neo-con.
