Election Day

Well it is now Wednesday after Election Day, and there are a few attitudes I can take regarding the outcome:
  • I can be pissed that we did not do better in the Senate...
  • I can be elated about the landslide in the House...
  • Overall, I can be happy with the outcome....

I take option 3.

Here are a few other notes:

  • I love that the 1 Congressman who got "in-person" support from the President, lost (the Charlottesville, VA representitive)
  • Overall VA looks to be going back to its roots, after a few years on the Dark Side
  • Interesting battle still looms in the VA 11th, as Fimian and Connolly are headed for a recount
  • There is something I like about the WV Democrat who won the Senate seat. He seems down to Earth, and might vote with the Republicans, when appropriate. He is only there for 2 years, and must understand that if he wants to go back to Washington, he needs to stay middle of the road
  • I would have liked to see Barbara Boxer lose, but Carly Fiorina, and all her cash, was just not meant to be.
  • I am not sure what the lesser of 2 evils is...Harry Reid being elected, or him losing and Chuck Schumer taking the Majority Leadership position. I think I would rather have Harry Reid to be honest...
  • I think John Boehner is going to run the House with a vice like grip. Eric Cantor will be there to ensure that as well.
  • Sayonara Russ Feingold

I am not sure what this will mean for 2 years from now, (as I do not have a Crystal Ball), but it sure looks like Obama might be in trouble. Keep an eye out for Marco Rubio to make a run for President (it is not unheard of for a 2 year Senator to make a run)....

P.S. Regarding Krystal Ball (VA-D 1st)....she lost bad...oh well, I can only imagine the fun Bill O'Reilly would have had with that one!
