Midterm Election Results

As of 12:21 a.m. CST
CNN, FOX and MSNBC

For updated results, simply just refresh the pages.

Oh, and did I mention WOO HOO! Nancy Pelosi will no longer be the Speaker of the House due to the Republicans, as expected, taking the House of Representatives. Unfortunately the people of Nevada seem to think that Harry Reid is still fit for office. As for any class shown by Pelosi (such as perhaps a congradulatory nod to the GOP) forgetaboutit. Unlike the president.



Reid's supporters said that Angle was "too dangerous and unfit to lead." And Reid isn't? This is the guy that gave al Queda in Iraq a huge morale boost by stating "This was is lost," thereby putting thousands of American and allied troops lives in jeopardy before President Bush's successful troop surge turned things around and won the war.

Then again....I'm just sayin'.

And, I'm sorry, but you people in California that voted to keep Barbara Boxer in are fools. Plain and simple. Do you all work for her or what? The same with you poor souls in Massachusetts that voted to keep Barney Frank around. The only thing I can think of is that you either don't know he almost single-handedly destroyed the housing market and in the process brought on an economic collapse costing millions of jobs or you just don't care. In which case, there's no hope for you anyways.

But as for whether or not this will help or hurt President Obama in getting any new policies through? Well, obviously he can't just shove it down the throats of Americans anymore. Now he has a Republican-held House to deal with (which I'm sure he's just ecstatic about) he has to actually answer to the will of the people. I know, a pretty radical idea for him. But it didn't hurt Bill Clinton in 1996 when he ran for re-election.

In fact, because of the 1994 "Republican Revolution," it made Clinton go from the hard left to a center-left policy position. The result? More people respected his decisions and policies and because of that he was granted a second term in office. If Obama can get over himself and his narcissism, decides he can work with the Republicans instead of blaming George W. Bush and FOX News for all his woes, then maybe, just maybe he can save his legacy.
