Most important aspects of this, for me:

Supreme Court!
Iran!
Viability of non-white president vindicated, seen especially by kids.
Extremism repudiated at national level, however narrowly.
Demoralized right wing activist billionaires may reduce money spray.
Senate firewall strong enough to survive very ugly-looking 2014.
Related to which: ACA has a chance to sprout, be seen sprouting.
Related to last several: safety net will be only dented, not battered.
Democrats more likely to get credit when unemployment normalizes.
Two of the other side's few crossover-appeal chessmen down.
Chastening (or maddening unto marginalization) of Fox whites.
Related to which: they come around on a citizenship path or lose 2016.
Gay marriage momentum gets realer in all faces.
Marijuana comes in behind it.
Related to these two: less to terrorize elderly about (long term).
Confirmation for rest of planet we are not entirely a nation of dickfaces.
Grayson is back to give more great, pissed off speeches.

Yay!

A friend in MA sums the result there: "Ballot questions: So, here in the Commonwealth, we think the terminally ill should be high when they resort to committing suicide by CO inhalation from the exhaust fumes of their car which they definitely know the repair history of."
