For the first time since post-Civil War Reconstruction, the GOP holds majorities in both chambers, Republicans said.
House and Senate Republicans also have enough votes 69 to capture the three constitutional offices of secretary of state, comptroller and treasurer. The states 132 legislators elect the constitutional officers, and it takes 67 votes to win. ______________________________________________
What does this mean ???
Everything...
One biggy being that the Republicans control the state election commision for the first time since Reconstruction..
How about making it harder for illegal aliens to vote in TN, guys ?????

And finally got rid of Jimmy Naifeh as the Speaker of the House...
His parents immigrated from Lebanon...
But he constantly voted for the illegal aliens...
Shut out any good laws...

a little good news today. i wonder how we did in state races across the country. i know in pa, we picked up one state senate seat but as of now, lost one state house seat.

I was giving serious thought to heading down to NC for my the rest of my “decling years’ but with what happened yesterday there's no way I'll do it.It's clear that NC has “New Hampshire Disease” and has it pretty bad.Now Tennessee....specifically eastern TN....looks quite good to me.But I've gotta be as close to the ocean as possible and there's no way that I could stand the heat and humidity of GA or SC.

I hadn’t followed that but the political demise of Naifeh is great news to me. I don’t know how or if we can in any way avoid what’s likely to come out of Washington in the future, but maybe we have the people in place to try.

Jason Mumpower seems to be a strong consertvative...
If he ends up as Speaker of the House, it may be a lot different...
To: Gay State Conservative
Now Tennessee....specifically eastern TN....looks quite good to me.

Notice the difference in headline emotion:
In Tennessee, Republicans "Seize Control" of House and Senate.
In the USA, Obama "Wins, Triumphs, Attains" the Presidency.
Gee, I guess the press doesn't realize this is a new age of harmony and bipartisanship.

What are we doing in TN about a marriage amendment? If California and Florida can pass one, surely we can.

But, Jimmy is still my Rep.
I guess that this means that the “Home of Jimmy Naifeh, Speaker of the House”, will be coming down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
