I'll Take It

   While it didn't go quite as good as I had hoped, it went just fine, thank you. We took the House by the largest margin since 1932 and picked up at least 6 and possibly as many as 9 seats in the Senate. The Obama agenda is DEAD! He will not now be able to pass anything he wants anymore - No Cap & Trade, no Card Check, no taking of 401K and private pension plans and rolling them into Social Security, and no comprehensive immigration reform without first securing the borders. We will hopefully start seeing a rollback of his agenda that has been passed or at least the prevention of it's implementation. The Democrat Senators up for reelection in 2 years are going to have to take a move back to the center and will not blindly support Obama's far left agenda, for fear they won't get reelected. A lot of those up for reelection are from normally Republican or swing states and have seen the writing on the wall. If nothing passes Congress for two years that will be great. There will be no further intrusion into our lives.   

      Up next - 2012. Is Obama even going to run after the defeat the Democrats took last night? Maybe this was the slap upside the head he needed to understand that the American people don't want his Socialism, but I think he is too much of an ideologue to come to the center the way Clinton did in 1995. I'm predicting that he will be challenged by someone in the Democrat Party for the presidential nomination and Obama will lose. 

      It's looking very good for the Republicans in 2012. They have taken quite a few new Governorships and state legislatures, which means the Republicans will now be in charge of redistricting in those states based on the recent census, and as always that redistricting will favor Republican Congressional candidates just the way it does when things are the other way around. Also, this year's census will result in several normally Democrat leaning states losing Congressional seats to states that typically lean Republican.
      In 2012, the Democrats will have to defend 23 incumbent Senators and the Republicans only 10, which means the Democrat campaign money will have to be spread around to over twice as many candidates as the Republicans. A good chance for them to pick up several more Senate seats, and probable control of the Senate.
      The coming Presidential election in 2012 also looks very promising. The Republican "bench" is loaded with great candidates, all rock solid Conservatives. In no particular order, Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana, former Governor Tim Pawlently of Minnesota, Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi, Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia, former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and my personal favorite, former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin. I should also mention former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a past favorite, who is a RINO (Republican in Name Only), and with the upsurge of Conservatism occurring in the country and Republican party, I don't think he has much of a chance.Who do the Democrats have? Illinois Senator Dick Durbin?, New York Senator Chuck Schumer?, and of course Hillary Clinton - all far left Marxists in the mold of Obama, whose agenda was just been repudiated.
       Barack Obama has been quoted as saying he would rather be a good one term president than a mediocre two term president. Looks like it's going to be a lousy one term president. Jimmy Carter is absolutely ecstatic. He is no longer the worst president in U.S. history.
       I would say the future of the United States of America looks very bright indeed.
