Quick take/weekend preview: On the "red wave" that didn't happen

 Apparently I need to explain this in detail.  A wave election is a deviation from the norm.  It is an unusual event.  Your default expectation should never be the deviation from the norm.  It should be the norm.  Your expectation should be not a wave.  Did anyone see me say, "a red tide is coming!"?  No.  Why not?  Because that would have been a deviation, not the baseline.  I will elaborate this weekend on baselines, deviations, and predictions, along with the actual conditions behind the wave elections of 1994, 2006 and 2010.
