I'm still flummoxed by the fact that the Governor and House votes went ~360k to 310k for the GOP, but Harry won by about the same margin. How did he get 40k+ otherwise-GOP voters to support him?!? Arrgh
If we had an unbiased media, Wednesday’s headline would have been....
AMERICAN VOTERS DRAIN SWAMP.
I’m disappointed. House wins are nice, but if we want to repeal ObamaCare, we need to have soon close to 60 Senate seats (and Pres Palin or some other GOP President in 2012).
In order to achieve that, we needed to win about 10 seats this year (and then additional 9-10 in 2012).
Unfortunately, in this sense, 2010 election was a disaster for us.
Losing CT, NV, NY, CO, (likely) WA, CA, WV was really bad. We had once in a lifetime shot in NY (had Guliani or Pataki run) and other blue/purple states.
I can’t see us winning 15 seats in 2012, given that even with super-wave we only won 6.
I thank the perseverance of Sarah Palin, without her this would arguably not have happened to the degree of which it did bear fruits of success.
This was a victory but not the end of the battle, this was just the prologue of what will happen in 2012, all she needs is MORE support.
