The stubborn donkey held firm after tonight. I'm fairly pleased with the election results. Pleasantly surprised that the Republican victory in the House didn't translate to the Senate. Reid knocked off Angle, which will let me sleep well. Now, if Bennet can pull it out in Colorado I will wake up with a smile on my face. I'd say the Dems survived the night. This certainly isn't a Republican tidal wave.We heard that the Tea Party was going to stage a revolution tonight and not only did it not happen in the Senate but they lost more elections than helped win. It was the Senate where the most radical Tea Party members were running. Voters didn't seem to vote for the Republicans but rather against the status quo when it comes to the economy.
This was a vote against gridlock, so if the Republicans think that this "victory" gives them the green light to pull a government shut-down of business then I don't think the voters will reward that in 2012.

This was a wave of misinformed, weak minded fools voting for the party that claims to be for small government. We know that is bullshit but the average guy on the street who gets a dose of Limbaugh everyday because that's what's on the radio at noon is voting for the false boogeyman of government to leave him alone and stay out of his life.
This guy isn't reading The Political Junkie or listening to Rachel Maddow. He/she is swayed by simple nonsense like "less government" among other righty catch terms thaty are meaningless.
The left requires thought. The right rewards the dumb and paranoid with dumb and paranoid talking points.
@Ayatollah...Yeah, if they'd just read our blogs; we could change the world!!! :)
As for the people voting against their own best interests; It's easier to listen to the fear angle. As the saying goes. "It takes a smart man to build a barn but any jack-ass can kick it down."
It's easier to go along with the crowd.
