This is the only bright spot of last night’s loss. Obama should get pounded in the 6th year of his term so we could be looking at a Republican Senate in 2014. So the House needs to do what Tip O’Neill’s House did in the early 80s — fight to hold back Socialism until the next election.
The Senate was a huge disappointment for me. Especially that witch Warren getting in. And Cornyn needs to be FIRED from whatever position he is in. This election was a disaster in the Senate and his incompetence is a big reason.
In addition, I cannot think of someone more vile than Harry Reid. He is obnoxious and plays gutter politics. And he hasn’t past a budget and no one is holding him to account. Now he gets at least two more years to run things.
But just like the 1992 loss to Clinton was a blessing in disguise, perhaps this election will result in one good thing—a GOP Senate in 2014.
I am also optimistic about ‘14 but then at first all the experts thought the GOP would gain this year because there were so few seats to defend. In 2 years though, apart from Maine, all the other incumbent Republicans are in deep red states so that should help at least. If 0bama’s popularity is fairly low they really should have a chance at dumping some of those red state Democrat senators. It’s still going to be an uphill battle though to gain 6 seats. If they at least remained even this year, or made a net gain of 1 or 2, then 2014 would be a sure thing but now even that might be beyond reach. What a damn shame.
