Republicans will hold at least 246 House seats come January, according to election results on Saturday, giving the GOP a commanding majority that matches the party's post-World War II high during Democratic President Harry S. Truman's administration.
The GOP retained control of two seats in runoffs in Louisiana, expanding the advantage for Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who can afford defections from his increasingly conservative caucus and still get legislation passed.
Combined with the Republican takeover of the Senate, Congress will be all-GOP for the final two years of President Barack Obama's second term.

Repeal the 17th, impeach John Roberts (I'm sure Obama will appoint someone MUCH better as his replacement!) elect Liz Cheney (before repealing the 17th, of course... but those wonderful patriotic state legislators who want to Save Our Republic will surely appoint someone even better anyway!), elect the Donald or Newt as President of our beloved Republic, get Texas to secede and keep Perry as leader for life and keep giving in-state tuition to illegals from other countries, but kick out all the yankee transplants, convince Americans that "democracy" is the most evil form of government EVER (communism can't hold a candle to the dreaded democracy!) have an article V convention and enact whatever the God-like Mark Levin says is a good idea, since his opinions are infallible. The result will be utopia.
Did I miss any Levinite talking points? ;-)

(Thanks to RINOs, Illinois has definitely become a "red state" -- we are run by Communists!)
