...wait till Nov. 6 for the end of all the whiny negative ads, yawner debates and sloshing special-interest money? If you live in Dallas or Houston, tough luck.

Texas has been forced to stage its own set of December runoffs that could conceivably leave the rest of the nation wondering, for a full five weeks after the election, who will control the House...

For some, it may first occur when hoisting a bag of groceries; for others, it may happen when stooping to pick up a toddler or crouching to tie a shoe.
