The Morning After
Time magazine's Swampland contributor Ana Marie Cox helps us dissect last night’s results and the morning after.
Also: we talk to journalists who participated in our States of the Union series to talk about down-ticket races and why some states did or didn’t turn out the way they were supposed to. Adam C. Smith is political editor for the St. Petersburg Times in Florida; Jo Mannies is regional political correspondent for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in Missouri. Lynn Bartels is political and legislative reporter for Colorado's Rocky Mountain News. Dan Walters is political columnist for the Sacramento Bee.

Renato Miracco is guest curator and director of the Italian Cultural Institute of New York.
