I'm sort of upbeat about this whole thing. I think a defeat of this magnitude is going to help the Republican party to refocus a bit. It's my feeling that the leadership of our party got too entangled with special interests, which in turn, alienated the base.

The economy in trouble. While you were sleeping, oil jumped about $7.00/barrel. Now the Democrats have majorities in both houses as well as in the White House. If things don't turn around fast, I think the American people are impatient, and I think if the Republicans can refocus their message and find some new and appealing faces to champion their issues, we could be setting up for 1994 all over again.
