Not so fast, Republicans. Populists came out swinging at the ballots yesterday, defeating key Republican initiatives in multiple states. Ohio voters struck down an anti-union law that would have restricted collective-bargaining rights for hundreds of thousands of public employees. Meanwhile, in Mississippi, the anti-abortion “personhood” amendment to the state constitution, a dramatic measure would have defined life as starting at conception, was decisively defeated. The Daily Beast’s John Avlon writes that conservatives’ 2010 landslide has hit a wall—but Democrats were still denied a clear-cut victory.
