And thank God for that. As bad a governor as Quinn has been, I’m shocked he lost. The class warfare tactics he used in his campaign failed as well. Hopefully that continues on the national level. The local liberal talking heads are losing their minds right now.
Connecticut and Colorado gubernatorial races are also leaning Republican. Shit man.
I think the governor victories are the real interesting thing here. A rejection of Obama was expected at the Sen. level, even the Hagan lost wasn’t that “shocking”. I’m looking into the gov. wins. Esp. the IL one.
Very interesting.
BellyFlop, where art thou???
Republicans generally do well in midterms because conservatives are very motivated to get involved in campaigning and actually turn up to vote. Presidential elections have a much higher overall participation so you get lots more libs voting. I think it’s going to be very difficult to elect a Republican president in the foreseeable future. I’ve often wondered what it would be like if voting was made compulsory as it is in a Australia. I think it would pretty much entail a one party system.
Great wins for the GOP.
Now its time to Govern.

It could be just me, but didn’t they just have the executive and legislative branches all to themselves for several years not that long ago? What might make me think this time will be better is that they have an enemy even clearer than Saddam Hussein was to Bush and seen as more personally relevant to the voting public. The Republicans have a ready made task handed to them on a silver platter. These amateur Marxists have made such a mess in the kid’s room that just straightening up some would even look good. If the fairly recent past is any indication, I’m not holding my breath.
Looking ahead to 2016, I don’t see any presidential candidate who opposes gay marriage having any chance at the Whitehouse barring overwhelming motivation somewhere else.

That was incredibly unexpected.
Not that it matters, but Sandra Fluke got destroyed last night in über Liberal west LA.
Am I seeing this correctly, that Mark Begich also lost last night ?
