A GOP Senate Disaster, but a GOP House


Republican House Speaker John Boehner
Only a Republican House stands between the producers of society and the
Hugo Chavez Socialist Democrat Party.

A Total GOP Senate Disaster
  • 2010  -  In a massive GOP year, the party lost many winnable Senate seats.
  • 2012  -  The GOP Senate leadership lost Republican and winnable seats from Maine to Massachusetts to Virginia to Florida to Missouri to Indiana etc, etc, etc.


Republicans will remain in power in the U.S. House of Representatives after Tuesday's elections, ABC and CNN projected based on early results.  I am looking forward to details on individual seats over the coming days.

The networks projected the Democrats would fall short of the 25 seats they needed to wrest control the House away from the GOP. 

The hard work of the GOP House leadership saved America
from being a one-party Socialist state.

Credit is Due  -  Thank God for the House GOP leadership.  Their enormous Herculean work has paid off with a returned Conservative majority.

Showing the changes in America, there were 49 Latino candidates running for the House of Representatives and 21 Asian-Americans seeking seats.

In addition, Republicans were looking to elect the party's first African-American woman to the House. Mayor Mia Love of Saratoga Springs, Utah, was attempting to unseat six-term Democrat Rep. Jim Matheson.

The election of minority candidates could usher in one of the most diverse classes of U.S. lawmakers ever.

US Senate
,
The Republican effort to take the Senate took an early dent in Maine, where former Governor Angus King, an independent who is expected to side with the Democrats, was projected to succeed retiring Republican Olympia Snowe.

A second setback followed in Connecticut, where Democrat Christopher Murphy was projected to defeat his well-funded Republican opponent Linda McMahon, picking up the seat of outgoing independent Senator Joe Lieberman.  Former World Wrestling Federation President Linda McMahon spent $100 million of her own money on Connecticut Senate bids in 2012 and again this year.

 Elizabeth Warren unseated Republican Sen. Scott Brown in Massachusetts. U.S. Rep. Joe Donnelly defeated Tea Party-backed Republican Richard Mourdock in Indiana. And former Maine Gov. Angus King, an independent likely to caucus with the Democrats, captured the seat of retiring Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe.

The GOP leadership has lost tons of seats such as Scott Brown's
in Massachusetts.
