Republicans scored a stunning electoral rout in the midterm elections, taking control of the U.S. Senate after a bitter campaign in which anger at Washington gridlock was turned against a president who took office promising to transcend it. Full article here
=====================================================
Tonight we saw nothing short of a historic outbreak of mass sanity across America. Sooooo, to gloat or not to gloat. That's the question tonight. I'm leaning heavily against any gloating.It's not an easy decision because the shellacking the Democrats took across the country tonight -- a magnificent display of Democrats' Electile Dysfunction -- presents such a target-rich environment.
For example, the contest in Arkansas. Here you've had what amounted to a family dynasty. It went down in flames tonight. But to top it all, Mark Pryor was brought down by a chap the media not long ago laughed off as having not a snowball's chance in hell of winning! A 37-year-old Congressional freshman named Tom Cotton beating a Pryor? In Arkansas? Ha, no way. But am I going to gloat over it, or even mention it? Nope.
Speaking of losers running on big family names, Michelle Nunn (Senate candidate) and Jason Carter (Gubernatorial candidate) similarly went down in flames in Georgia tonight. But I'm not gonna gloat about it nor even mention the fact that the experts were confidently predicting the Senate race would definitely head to a run-off. David Perdue winning outright? Against a Nunn? In Georgia? Not gonna happen.
Nor will you hear a peep from non-gloating me about the drubbing Democrats received in Colorado's Senate race tonight. The Democrat incumbent, Sen. Mark Uterus, flogged the "war on women" meme throughout the Campaign. He fancied himself being able to rouse that dead horse to victory. This was, after all, the meme that was supposed to be the Democrats' silver bullet because it worked for Obama, whose reelection was saved at the last minute by a woman named Hurricane Sandy.
Unfortunately for the Democrats in Colorado, there was nothing to save the world-renowned expert on female genitalia from defeat at the hands of Cory Gardner. But! Since I'm not gloating, no mention of any of this from me.
Indeed, if I were gloating, I would definitely mention the GOP upset victory in North Carolina, but I'm not. Here again, experts insisted that Kay Hagan had victory in the bag even though her polls sucked. Democrats bragged that the high turnout of early voters would seal Thom Tillis's fate. "I think we've got the momentum," Hagan proclaimed over the weekend. But, again, you won't hear me gloat nor even mention any of this once.
I suppose I could gloat about Wendy Davis's shellacking in Texas (but I won't). She was supposed to turn Texas purple if not blue on the basis that she held up passage of a measure against late-term abortions. She became an instant heroine to the abortion lobby. Vogue magazine featured her on its cover. The Abortion Barbie raised over a million bucks in mere weeks after her pro-abort filibuster. Liberals were certain that being pro-abortion and making fun of people in wheelchairs were winning formulas in Texas. She lost by 20 points to a guy in a wheelchair. But if you thought I was going to gloat about it or even mention it, you'd be mistaken.
In fact, not gonna mention Gov. Scott Walker winning reelection in Wisconsin nor Joni Ernst becoming Iowa's first female U.S. Senator after trouncing Bruce "Bailey". Since I'm not gloating, my lips are also sealed about Pat Roberts winning reelection in Kansas and Steve Daines winning in Montana and Mike Rounds winning in South Dakota and Shelley Moore Capito winning in West Virginia and Mia Love becoming the first African-American GOP Congresswoman.
Oh, one more thing . . .
Harry Reid -- you're fired! Heh, heh, heh! I'm still not gloating though! Honest!
Anyway, that's ...

Rand Paul Mocks Hillary Clinton in Possible Preview of 2016 Fight:
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky mocked Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday in a possible preview of the 2016 presidential election.
Paul, a Republican, used his official Twitter account to take a shot at the troubled rollout earlier this year of Clinton’s memoir, “Hard Choices.” Using the hashtag #hillaryslosers, he also posted a series of photos of the former secretary of state with candidates who lost on Tuesday night.

It was an exciting night. I clicked around on the TV and Chris Matthews looked like he was about to burst into tears, lol.
Wish I’d kept track of all the ‘nay-sayers’ here, who predicted that we ‘would not win’. Well, we won inspite of voter fraud and ‘nay-sayers’ not voting. Just imagine what the ‘numbers’ could have been otherwise!!
Good of you not to gloat...that’d be rude.
I can’t wait to watch the Hitler Rants on this election (non-gloating version). :>)
Hopefully just the beginning of a long term of sanity in the United States.
