Harry Reid and the Democrat Senate actually obstructed more votes on bills than the Republicans in the House.

Perhaps now more bills can get to Obama's desk.

I saw early on that the exit polls showed the majority of voters against gay marriage and knew then that the Dems stayed home.

Guess a veto overriding majority is still a pipe dream

LOL, Juan Williams is determined this is anti-incombenent and not anti-Obama. It may be both.

I'm pretty sure Warner is going to win though

Oh I agree but it's both an exciting and close race nonetheless. For Gillespie to be this close and have almost no national support - that's pretty impressive.

The party that is becoming extinct is currently leading in 3 of the 6 Blue New England state Governor races.

True but then what. I just want government to compromise for the good of all of us. I am so sick of both parties.
