Nice to see the party of death and coercion get stomped.

Let's hope the Socialist-lite party fight Obama in that last two years.

While Republicans made gains among traditionally Democrat-leaning voters, including Latino, African-American, female, gay and younger voters, Democrats seemed a stale party filled with confusion, apprehension and unable to rally enthusiasm even among its most loyal of constituents. As one black voter in California put it, "you can't ignore us, and actually make our lives worse, for six years and then come in at the last week like an ex-lover coming by at midnight for a bootie-call and expect us to go flocking to the polls for you."

HAH!

...and the question that remains, now that the dog has caught the car it has been chasing, what is it going to do?

Answers do not include anything with the word “comprehensive”.

dismantle and or eliminate, should be the first words used to describe efforts to eliminate red tape in government.

Keystone XL Pipeline construction would be a good start on bipartisanship.

Fixing the Highway “trust fund” so there is not only funding, but trust contained in it would be another effort to restore what has sadly been missing from government.

Allowing interest rates to rise as they should have been over the last six years, and reducing spending to cover the interest on the unsustainable debt should be another bipartisan effort.

The next two months are going to be very interesting if the new majority is unable to bring democrats to the table to restore confidence in Government. IMHO the economy better be job one.

Thanks for posting. Pretty good analysis of election results.

Republicans stand poised to have sufficient numbers to call for a Constitutional Convention, by invoking Article V of the US Constitution.

There will never be a better time to peacefully reclaim free government. Article V, . . . if not now, when?

[Impy]

Well, we have the cooler animal mascot, that’s for sure.

The wailing over at DU will brighten your day...

Coakley joins 2012 GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney as Republicans who were able to overcome a strong statewide Democrat registration advantage to take control of the state's highest office.

This should say BAKER rather than COAKLEY. Other than that, it's a great recap!

I read some of those threads. My fav was this one...

First order of business should be audits of everything. Second order? Criminal charges where required.

[samtheman]

I tried to read some DU but they are all so over-the-top stupid it’s depressing.

[RC one]

I am sooo looking forward to hearing what Harry and Nancy and Barbara and Debbie and Diane and Gabbie and Mark and Al and Charlie and Michael and most of all Barack have to say about all of this. Today is gonna be a glorious day! yes sir! I’m going to need a plastic surgeon to remove the grin from my face I think.

[RC one]

hilarious is more like it. I want to gather up their tears in a wine glass and drink them.

[samtheman]

I want to gloat. But when I think that nearly 50% of my country is so unbelievably brain-washed and stupid it makes me feel depressed. I can’t read what they write.

[grania]

Obamacare could easily be made optional, if the ‘pubs are so inclined.

[RC one]

I love how they’re talking about fillibustering everything we try to do now. Thank you Lord for making our enemies ridiculous.

Never ingest toxic waste; you never know what you could catch.

At about 5am Central time, it looks like the Republicans will finish with 54 Senate seats.
