At Least We Get The Ball Back?

Some positives from yesterday's GOP bloodbath...
  • Mike Pence will probably be the next House minority leader. He's a small government, Reagen conservative - qualities Bush (and many GOP leaders) have abandoned. I'd love to see him run for President in '08. He'd get my vote. Oh, and he doesn't look like Dennis Hastert.
  • Since WWII, the party of the incumbent President has typically lost more than 30 seats in the House of Representatives and six seats in the Senate during the second midterm. So, this is somewhat expected due to the Six Year Itch Theory.
  • Statutes that kept marriages marriages won approval in 3 states.
  • Ultra-liberal "Republican" Lincoln Chafee got the boot.
  • I figured out a way to watch Fox News on my computer.
Yeah, that's kinda it folks. Hopefully, yesterday will show Republicans the need to a) put true conservatives back into leadership positions, and b) get back to basics: small government, low taxes, free markets, strong national defense, judicial restraint.

Yeup. I think the GOP needs a wake-up call and perhaps this is it. My senate race seems to be indicative of the whole. When conservatives become moderates, they fail. Jim Talent used to be hard-core conservative but over the last few years he's creeped towards center and now he's out of a job.
