election story

On November 4,2010 the House of Representatives shifted power.It is now ran by republicans, and they have the majority of the political elites.Maybe our public opinion has changed.Republicans are conservative.They don't really agree with the democrats that are in the senate because democrats are liberal.Some poeple are in both the Senate and House, and they are moderates, and don't belong with the republicans or democrats.Political socialization plays a role in how we vote.Another thing that plays a role in how we vote is political cleavages.For example Christians may vote a different way then Protestants.All of this though is an example of political ideology.
