Yesterday's elections saw Republican victories in a number of higher profile runoffs. The Right, of course, is hailing this as a new wave of momentum for the GOP.

Another interpretation is that both parties engage in similar interventionist initiatives that are certain to fail over time, thereby causing voters to continually cast off the majority party ('it's this party's fault') in favor of minority ('anything's better than what we have now').

All the while, however, voters merely elect more of the same.
