<><> midterms were a massive and awesome rejection of liberals
<><> Democrat losses stretch from the Carolinas westward to Texas
<><> As Landrieu's loss looms, Southern Democrats control not a single governorship, US senator or legislative chamber.
<><> Of the 140 Southern States election districts---110 went Republican.
<><> the GOP's majority in the House will be so big and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Democrats can't recapture losses until 2022.
<><> Some pundits say Republicans have a 100-year majority;
<><> When the next Senate convenes, 29 lock-stepping Democrats who voted for Obamacare will be gone.
<><> Even Arkansas and Illinois (Clinton hometowns) have Repub governors---important in a prez race since guvs control party machinery.
<><> MINN's 6th Congressional district was unprecedented---every single House and Senate district went Repub---the GOP now controls the MINN State House.
Not to quibble, but the Democrats are responsible for Cochran's reelection in Mississippi. They just may call in their chips when the going gets rough.
Plus the fact THAT I do not think there has not been a "Southern" Democrat elected to national office or Governor elected for a long time. Just Progressive Democrats. I don't know who I trust the least, Democrats or the GOPe.
But I do know the next few years are going to be interesting. I sure hope I live long enough to see the outcome.

Too bad ALL the states don’t have the good sense of the South and Southwest. The Blue Pig states are still hoping that there will be a little federal government slop in the trough for them to buy votes with in the next election.
They haven’t figured out yet that having an $18 TRILLION debt means the government is stinking broke, and their children and grandchildren and generations that follow them will have to struggle with the hot checks written by the Congresses of the past three decades. But Leftists in these ignorant Democrat states call Southerners “stupid.”
The GOP may control the Minn State House, but they still have the wacky Al Franken as their Senator and that “dolt” Dayton as Gov.
This election cycle was such a devastating rejection of liberal policies that the sitting Democrat Governor of Vermont could not get 50% of the vote. Shumlin’s single payer healthcare scheme was basically the only issue.
The guy who ran against him was virtually unknown and still came within ~2000 votes. The legislature (Dem dominated) will decide who is our next governor.
