While some were predicting a political tsunami that would wipe out Democrats across the country, the more apt metaphor of what took place on Election Night was the hurricane — which first ripped through the South and then the Midwest, but only nicked the Northeast and West.
Election Day was mostly a rebuke to Democrats and the expansion of government.
According to the nationwide exit poll, 73 percent of those who voted disapproved of Congress’ job, and those people voted Republican by a 64-to-33 percent margin.
In addition, 54 percent disapproved of President Obama’s job performance, and those voters broke 85 to 11 percent.
And 56 percent of the electorate said the government is doing too many things, which equaled the percent from 1994, the last time Republicans won back control of the House.
In 2008, however, only 43 percent said the government was doing too much.

It’s a start! I keep reminding myself that the R’s now control the statehouse here in NC (for the first time in 112 years) and control the redistricting process. I also keep reminding myself that Ohio and Wisconsin had huge conservative pickups last night. It helps ease the pain that NC stayed surprisingly purple.
There’s an appropriate Churchill line from the Battle of Britain, to paraphrase: “It is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. It may be, however, that it is the end of the beginning.”

I am certain we broke Obama’s back.
And to think this election turned out so well, in spite of the MSM throwing roadblocks! Republicans are much smarter than democrats, in that, we don’t need ‘no stinkin MSM to tell us how to vote’.
