c’mon guys, get a grip
I’m disgusted by the ‘Rats who won but there were lots of good victories — picking up 60+ seats in the House and 6 or so in the Senate? Amazing when you consider the triumphant tide of the Obamanation just 2 years ago.
I can remember the years (long ago) when it seemed impossible that the House would ever be denied to the Demagogues, yet now the Pelosicrats have been thrown out on their butts. Demagogues dominated the House for much of the past 70+ years.
This is a “glass half full” not half-empty kind of moment. More than half full, really, we’ve put the Obamacrats on the path to a total repudiation in 2012 if the Rs don’t blow it in the next 12+ months.
I think we’ll do better. We’ve seen the mistakes the Democrats made and won’t mess it up. The Democrats arrogance, contempt and condescension was their undoing. Our new Speaker Elect is not like Nancy Pelosi.
Some of these guys are screwed up too tight. Elections don’t work like the guillotine in the Revolution, we can’t get everybody at the same time.
I agree!
Rove just said that Pubbies picked up something like 500 state legislature seats. And, in some states, such as AL & NC, the Pubbies hadn’t controlled the legislature in years. R’s control the Senate in AL - 1st time since 1938. 20 seats to R in Texas state house. IMHO, those are HUGH accomplishments, too! Those, plus the increase in R governors will certainly help with redistricting!
