just gazing at the election maps for gov, sen and the house is pretty revealing....Mass and RI are pretty sure that the rest of the country is completely out of step with them..

RIJIMMY, in the big picture, this was a colossal success for the GOP, and a disaster for the Democrats. Huge wins in the House, 6 wins in the Senate is nothing to sneeze at (and we might pick up CO or WA), and we did well with the governerships. Pelosi is out as speaker.

We have ALL of the momentum, my friend. All of it.

I did horribly locally, hope you did better. On the national scene, bear in mind we won BIG.

Lessons to be learned though...the tea party has to consider electability in general elections, not just the primaries. That cost us DE and NV.

Remember, it doesn't much matter if we have 47 senate seats or 51, that doesn't change much. Better to take the house. And governorships are big as well.

Keep the faith.

Overall fantastic. Obliterated the house and cruised in most gov. races. Pelosi loses the chair, Grayson and Feingold are gone. Only thing that gets me (and I should know better) is that Mass keeps electing these fools. But, great day for conservatives. Let's hope they GET the message and work their asses off to right this ship.

Disappointed with Chafee winning. Fortuantely "Hope" is RI's theme so I "Hope" he doesn't crush us with further taxes, fees, etc.

I didn't expect Langevin to get overthrown. Even though he is pretty liberal (and I have voted for him in he past) he is no David Cilliline

I can't believe enough people voted for him. He is a financial DISASTER hack. Though Likwid probably would have voted for him if he had the chance .

Disappointed about Deval & Frank too..

Nationally, Republicans better get their bleep together or the free surface effect of the general voting middle with swing the other way in 12.

.

in a state that ranks at the bottom of every measurable category financially, economically and at the top of every category for government dependence after nearly 100 years of democrat control....all that is really left is HOPE....oh...and...TRUST CHAFFEE
