In the Senate, results are not completely in, but it looks like a pickup to 47, 48 or even 49 seats.
A convincing repudiation of Obama's 2 years and the 4 years of Democratic control of Congress.
However, there were some lowlights, as some of the worst of the worst in Congress got re-elected, such as:
Harry Reid in NV (saved by unions, Harrah's and the national dems who pulled out all stops to defeat a weak Tea Party candidate).
Pelosi - re-elected but no longer speaker.
Rangel - re-elected by large margin - but loses his coveted Ways and Means chair and still faces ethics charges.
Barney Frank - as repulsive a figure as there is. What is wrong with MA voters ??
(and CA voters for that matter).
Here's a little vintage Barney, who doesn't get or doesn't care about the message delivered:
Want to See the Worst Victory Speech Ever?
From our friend Barney Frank. Having won by about 14 points, he spends ten minutes trashing Sean Bielat, the media, and everyone else. He’s outraged that he had to run a race at all. He calls the Bielat campaign “beneath the dignity of a democracy” or words to that effect. This from a guy who ran millions of dollars in attack ads, repeatedly insulted Bielat, and shouted down his own constituents.
If you want to know what’s really going through the mind of Democratic incumbents this morning, just listen to Barney Frank release his inner arrogant liberal.
