For months we were told that this was the Seinfeld electiona race about nothing. And most pundits also seemed to think that despite the clearly favorable terrain for Republicans in the Senate, this would not be a wave election along the lines of the big Democratic victory of 2006 and the GOP landslide of 2010. Both assumptions were wrong. The 2014 midterms were most definitely about something and that something was dissatisfaction with President Obama that created yet another historic wave.
By the time the dust settles after the Louisiana Senate runoff, its likely the Republicans will have won a 54-seat Senate majority, increased their stranglehold in the House to a level unseen since before World War Two, and picked up several governorships, including some in deep blue states like Massachusetts, Illinois, and Maryland.
This was a surprise for a number of reasons, chief of which was that the polls were mostly wrong. Last week I wrote about the complaints of liberals that polls showing the election as a virtual tie were skewed in favor of the Republicans because they were undercounting Hispanics and other minorities. But in fact, as political stat guru Nate Silver points out on his FiveThirtyEight blog, the polls actually had a pro-Democrat bias ranging from 4 to 12 points in states around the country

Obama will empty Gitmo of his new friends
More like an anti-progressive oppressive liberal communist fascist marxist vote, to be a little more precise.
That’s exactly right. He may be the only guy who doesn’t know it’s over. Like an old ballplayer who can’t quite make good contact with the bat anymore, Obama is one the verge of irrelevancy and he’s convinced there is still a sea of support out there for his agenda. A small number of sycophants still think so too.
Now, it’s time to prepare for his final acts of abusive power and hope we can avoid further disaster.
Its upended the assumption the Democrats are the majority party.
The GOP inflicted upon them a near-total rout. Nothing has been seen like this since the 1920s.
Its truly a watershed.
RIGHT!! We have been steeled and we have got the very first rule of war down pat - we know our enemy.
And he doesn't know us. Yeah, he may have access to our information, but that doesn't mean he knows us.
Besides, I have done what my tagline says. We have the Blessings of God and he doesn't. His is a goner - bigtime.
All we have to do is wait and do what the Lord prompts us to do.
That's the wrong comparison for us to use. Instead we should talk about levels unseen since before FDR!!! That bites much deeper into the Rat psyche and supports a grander mandate for our side.
