GOP Sweep
Resounding GOP victories swept the country yesterday. Republicans now
claim a historic number of seats in the House. The Senate is now
decidedly in Republican control. And Republicans won governorships,
even in liberal states. The hole has been plugged, and now it's time to
save this great ship of America before it sinks.
Governors
A shining spot for conservative
principles throughout the last few years have been success of Republican
governors. From Bobby Jindal to Rick Perry to Scott Walker and others,
conservative policies have managed to turn their states into beacons of
hope in an otherwise stagnant society.
Republicans governors like Rick
Scott in Florida and Scott Walker in Wisconsin managed to hang on to
their seats. And Republicans actually added even more governors to
their already impressive ranks. In blue-states like Illinois,
Massachusetts and Maryland, Republican candidates won.
House
Republicans now have more members in the House than they have in over fifty years, adding to their historic gains in 2010.
Some standout wins include Mia Love in Utah, becoming the first Republican African American woman elected to Congress.
Senate
The big victory for
conservatives is the Senate. While the numbers aren't set – due to a
runoff in Louisiana, which will likely be another win for Republicans –
the GOP has decidedly won control of the Senate with at least 52 seats.
This means that Republicans hold control of the Congress, something that has not been the case for eight years.
More significantly, Republicans
Thom Tillis (North Carolina), Joni Ernst (Iowa) and Cory Gardner
(Colorado) all won seats in states that had gone blue for Barack Obama
in at least one of the last two elections...continued
