If this spanking was anti-incumbent, how many incumbent Republicans lost? *crickets*

As of right now the GOP is +12 in the House (and it is projected to grow), up 7 in the Senate (and is projected to wind up +9), up 3 in Governor's houses....and oh by the way....when was the last time the GOP controlled this many state legislatures? *crickets*

This was not anti-incumbent...it was anti-pathological liar in the WH.

I seen a map yesterday of the counties that voted GOP and it was pretty much most of the nation. Guess the left cant use gerrymandering as an excuse either..

They voted Democratic because the Democrats did a better job at lying to them a few years ago about the Republicans, and now voted Republican because they disapprove of the policies put in place and need someone to stop them from doing more damage.

Not only red, but, Purple and BLUE states went for the GOP yesterday. Way to go, Americans.

It will be interesting day at WH press briefing today. How will Obama handle such repudiation by the voters?

Oh I already know what he's going to say..

"I have heard your voices" and then go on to say The GOP needs to pass bipartisan bills and work together for the sake of the american people and stop blocking his wonderful legislations from taking actions which the people just voted against.

The problem is whether or not they can reign in Obama. If he goes out on his own on things like amnesty the (D)'s are going to have problems in 2016. Obama is petulant enough to do just that even though the (R)'s would give him nearly everything he wants if he would humble himself enough to work with them.
