Yesterday was THE day. The day when America let her voice be heard. And what did she say? She said that republicans are stepping it up and the democrats better start to if they want to succeed in 2012. Republicans took the House and barely lost the Senate by a couple of seats. So now we have a split Congress, republicans have a lot more power, and a President who is democrat. Makes for an interesting situation, doesn't it?
Georgia of course went Republican. Was that really a surprise to anyone? I mean some people were still hoping real hard that Barnes would win, but despite some controversy most people knew that Deal would win, and he did. There are always those states that will always be democrat or republican. For example, Massachusetts will always be majority democratic state, Georgia will always be a majority republican state. It's just how it is sometimes. i think it would take something drastic to switch up these kinds of states. There are always those swing states though that you never know which way they might go, which was evident from the election that just took place. It really wasn't a surprise to anyone though that the republicans took the House. As many political analysts predicted the democrats kept the Senate. The political analysts thought that the democrats would hold onto the Senate but just by a few seats, as they did.
So what happens now? The republicans have a lot of power now. Will Obama be a lame duck? Will he be able to get anything threw the Congress? Who knows, we'll have to wait and see what happens over the next two years, but one things is for sure, it should be VERY interesting to see what does happen.
