Jay, who's over his one-party funk, points to this post on Blue Mass Group and I agree it's a good one. Taken with the comments, the point that stands out for me is that even though the election is over and the favored candidate has been elected, the people who worked for that end are not yet declaring victory.

That's important. I hope that the BMG community continues to define success, not just in defeating Republicans, but in making state government works under the Democrats. To do so will involve a willingness to scrutinize and take-on fellow Democrats since the usual Republican suspects have packed (or are packing) their bags.
