1986 - Ronald Reagan was very upbeat about the results. He knew it was the ebb and flow of politics. But, he was confident that, on balance, his party would rebound even higher.

We lost some but considering the predictions, its been a very good night. The Drive By/MSM bedwetters were predicting a Democratic blowout. The Democrats may still win but they'll have slender majorities in Congress. Nothing like the huge Democratic margins we saw pre-1994. That's a thing of the past.

If anything the Bush Derangment Syndrome of today is nothing compared to Reagan Derangement Syndrom of back in the day. Yet the Gipper kept his chin up and kept us strong.
By all accounts they should have gained much more tonight - and in '04.

One of the problems here is that there is no obvious successor. Hence, the GOP will feel rudderless for the next 2 years.
