And of course Obama will veto these stupid bills.


And the Democratic party will be held accountable for those vetos. No more hiding behind Harry Reid.

It may not stop the beating I'm going to take come tax time this April, but it certainly would have been worse under a triumvirate of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.

And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Alaska and Virginia Senate races still undecided. I'm guessing those will split though still praying for a miracle in Virginia. Louisiana goes to a runoff with the "third party" candidate (actually another Republican) was the Conservative vote so those likely go GOP. GOP Senate at +7. Prediction: Will grow to +8. Could grow to +9. +10 not out of the question though highly unlikely.

GOP House stands at +14 (a 28 seat swing) and I'm still hopeful for some California districts not yet called. The Republican narrowly leads in each of Districts 7,16, and 52.

The GOP stands at +3 in Governorships. While we morn Pennsylvania, it's not unexpected. Moderate pre-election expectations were that the Republicans might go -2 in these races but we fended off some very strong assaults. I think we're set here as the Dems seem likely to hold the remaining 3 uncalled states.

Controlling state governments is critical because the party that controls the state controls the vote counting in that state so a GOP held state can potentially fend off Democratic shenanigans such as endless recounts, illegals and the dead voting, or "the union man's wife always votes twice" (current location and previous maiden location) etc.

And let's be honest, both parties gerrymander like crazy. However, it's been in the public's best interests for that last 50-60 years that the GOP gets to do it and it remains that way for the foreseeable future. So let's keep it red for the next 6 years when the next census comes out.

Snopes lists other figures. My guess is that someone at Associate Press pulled this one out of thin air or perhaps their butt. Forbes estimate seems more accurate. That percentage of increase is only something you would expect from Exxon.

Republicans will not be at war with Obama because of his net worth.

So 28 Senators so far who voted for Obamacare are gone over these last two elections. Did someone make a Grease Spot Prophecy?
