Just Half Who Voted for Obamacare Remain in Senate

· 33 Comments

With Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (D-LA) defeat overt the weekend, Bloomberg notes that “only half of the Senators who voted to pass the Affordable Care Act will still be in office in 2015, when the new members are sworn in.”

“Nineteen of them retired or resigned, eight were defeated for re-election, and three died in office.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
