BREAKING: Historic Election Evening Delivers Brutal Blow to Obama’s Agenda & Democrats… Here’s the Rundown
By Eric Odom
1 12:18 am November 5, 2014
Most of America’s 2014 Midterm Elections have been decided. The results provide sound and powerful evidence Obama’s agenda is in deep trouble. As of now, 10:55 PM central, Republicans have managed to accomplish the following:
- Take control of the U.S. Senate with at least 52 seats and another 2-3 possible depending on what happens in Virginia, Louisiana and Alaska.
- Shot down MASSIVE efforts from the left to control the executive branch in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Maryland and possibly Colorado, Massachusetts and Connecticut.
- Shock Democrats with Senate gains in North Carolina, Iowa, Colorado, Arkansas and Kansas.
Most notably, Democrats have suffered embarrassing and epic defeats with the loss of the Gubernatorial fights in Illinois and Wisconsin. These two races create a pivotal moment for the nation as voters prove America’s drift to radical socialism is not acceptable, even in two states where acceptance has previously been considered the norm.
In Illinois, for example, social moderate but fiscally libertarian millionaire Republican Bruce Rauner absolutely stomped powerful (and corrupt) union backed incumbent leftist Pat Quinn. Rauner’s win in Illinois signals a new era for the midwest state currently stuck in the muck of fiscal peril. Rauner has personally bankrolled the term limits movement in Illinois and openly declared war on public employee unions who hold no qualms with their intentions to demand unrealistic policies that would further bankrupt the state. Rauner has promised to pass on a government salary and will likely fight to ease the pains of over-regulation, making Illinois once again an attractive state for commerce.
In Wisconsin, a deep purple state with extraordinary public employee union influence, Governor Scott Walker has now defeated both a tremendous effort to recall him as well as a multi-pronged effort to unseat him in the 2014 midterm elections. Walker has now fully proven his ability to overcome daunting deficits, seemingly impossible political obstacles and unfavorable special interest power-grips to represent the will of the people and get things done. This win in Wisconsin should be viewed as a full and unquestioned stamp of approval of his agenda moving forward.
On the Senate front, Voters sent Obama’s allies packing. In North Carolina, where a record shattering $100 MILLION was spent during an epic battle where Democrats desperately tried to save Obama’s lackey Senator Kay Hagan, voters sent an unmistakable message that they were finished with Obama’s radical agenda. The same occurred in Iowa, Colorado and Arkansas.
The message is clear. Americans don’t like Barack Obama. And they loath those who carry water for his dastardly agenda.
At the end of the day, voters handed Republicans a guaranteed 52 seat advantage in the Senate with another 3 seats in play. And voters absolutely rejected leftist candidates for Governor in states where Democrats, historically speaking, should never have lost.
America is still in distress, no doubt. But patriots across the republic should rejoice knowing there is still fight left in this great nation and millions are standing ready to take part.
Congratulations, America. You’ve proven the fight still exists. You’ve proven this country still has reason to believe there is hope.
Senate layout as of now.
GOP: 52 seats, DEMS: 43, seats.Independents who caucus with Dems hold 2.

The Striking Difference In Enthusiasm in the GOP Wave Elections in 2 Awkward Tweets
By Colin Chocola (24 mins ago) | Elections, Nation
Moments prior to the conclusion of the Iowa Senate race, two Tweets were posted of photos taken minutes apart that gave the election results a face. National Review’s Benny Johnson snapped a couple photos at the Iowa DNC event before finding a drastically different event with the GOP crowd:

Nothing shows how much Republicans were heard this year like the results for Senate seats – Republicans won elections in the following states:
- Kentucky – McConnell 56% Grimes 41%
- South Carolina – Graham 55% Hutto 38%
- Arkansas – Cotton 56% Pryor 44%
- Nebraska – Sasse 65% Domina 31%
- South Dakota – Rounds 52% Weiland 28%
- Texas – Cornyn 62% Alameel 34%
- Colorado – Gardner 51% Udall 44%
- Mississippi – Cochran 59% Childers 39%
- Alabama – Sessions (uncontested)
- Tennesse – Alexander 62% Ball 32%
- West Virginia – Capito 62% Tennant 34%
- Wyoming – Enzi 72% Hardy 18%
- Montana – Daines 57% Curtis 41%
- Maine – Collins 68% Bellows 32%
- Georgia – Perdue 53%Nunn 45%
- Idaho – Risch Mitchell 65% 35%
- North Carolina – Tillis 49% Hagan 47%
- Iowa – Ernst 52% Braley 44%
- Oklahoma – Inhofe 68% Silverstein 29%
- Kansas – Roberts 53% Orman 43%
It appears as though Democrats have not lived up to their promises for vast changes and improvements, and America has finally spoken out about it. The President’s approval rating has spiraled as more Americans lose their health insurance plans, the workforce participation rate hits historic lows, and foreign relations stumble along.
However, controlling the Senate is a great responsibility for Republicans that now lead all of Congress. The White House appears ripe for the taking in 2016, but only if the GOP can actually produce results instead of lip-service.

The New Majority: Republican Party Sweeps to Power in the United States Senate
By Kyle Becker (2 hours ago) | Nation, Politics
Getty - Win McNamee
The Republican Party met and exceeded expectations in the 2014 midterm elections. They will become the new majority in the United States Senate and thus will end the Congressional gridlock characteristic of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s tenure.
Now the President will have to compromise with the Congress, or the American people will know who is to blame for any gridlock ahead of 2016. Hopefully, this means Congress can actually get some things done.
The key races that propelled the GOP to victory:

President Obama commented on the midterm elections via The New York Times saying he is “irritated” and doesn’t believe this is repudiation of him or his policies. In other words, he’s learned nothing.

President Obama Left Fighting for His Own Relevance
By PETER BAKER
NOV. 4, 2014

WASHINGTON — Two things were clear long before the votes were counted on Tuesday night: President Obama would face a Congress with more Republicans for his final two years in office, and the results would be seen as a repudiation of his leadership.
But that was not the way Mr. Obama saw it. The electoral map was stacked against him, he argued, making Democrats underdogs from the start. And his own party kept him off the trail, meaning he never really got the chance to make his case. “You’re in the Final Four,” as one aide put it, “and you’re on the bench with a walking boot and you don’t get to play.”
The Republican capture of the Senate culminated a season of discontent for the president — and may yet open a period of even deeper frustration. Sagging in the polls and unwelcome in most competitive races across the country, Mr. Obama bristled as the last campaign that would influence his presidency played out while he sat largely on the sidelines. He privately complained that it should not be a judgment on him. “He doesn’t feel repudiated,” the aide said Tuesday night.
But in a hyperactive, deeply polarized time in history, Mr. Obama now faces a daunting challenge in reasserting his relevance in a capital that will soon enough shift its attention to the battle to succeed him. If the hope-and-change phase of his presidency is long over, he wants at least to produce a period of progress and consolidation to complete his time in the White House.
He will kick off that effort on Wednesday when aides expect him to hold a news conference seeking bipartisan accommodation on issues of mutual interest, and he plans to host Republican and Democratic leaders at the White House on Friday. At the same time, aides said, Mr. Obama is eager to throw off the constraints of a campaign that he did not direct and begin to defend his record in a more robust way.
“He’s going to be aggressive. He’s ready to go,” said another senior official, who like others did not want to be identified discussing plans before the election results were tabulated. “We’ve got a lot of important stuff to get done in the lame duck. He’ll talk about that tomorrow. We’ve got a lot of important stuff to get done in the last two years. He’s anxious to get going on that.”
To Republicans, it sounded as if Mr. Obama was hardly chastened or heeding the message of the election, evidently more anxious to find excuses than to rethink the way he has governed. Absent a change in attitude from the president and a genuine outreach on issues that matter to them, Republicans said, the next two years could simply usher in even more political squabbling.
“There’s a huge opportunity to get things done if his frame of mind is in the right place, and it’s not clear it is,” said Sara Taylor Fagen, who was President George W. Bush’s political director when he lost Congress in 2006. “He’s never shown an interest or willingness to work with members of Congress. Talk to Democrats — they don’t feel he ever made an effort to court them. It’s not clear he’ll make an effort to court Republicans.”
Representative Adam Kinzinger, Republican of Illinois, said both parties needed to find a way to get past their mutual suspicions to forge a new working relationship. “He feels burned, and we feel burned too,” Mr. Kinzinger said. “For four years, it’s been a lot of mistrust on both sides.”
Just two years after Mr. Obama’s re-election, the midterm results underscored just how far he has fallen in the public mind. Nearly six out of 10 voters on Tuesday expressed negative feelings about his administration, according to exit polls. For every two voters who said they had cast ballots to support Mr. Obama, three said they were voting to express their opposition to him.
The electorate was deeply pessimistic about the country, with seven out of 10 describing the economy as not so good or poor and eight out of 10 expressing worry about the direction of the economy in the next year.
Numbers like that discouraged Mr. Obama’s aides, who said they had not done a good job getting out the president’s record, noting that the deficit has fallen by half, unemployment is now below 6 percent, the price of gasoline has fallen sharply and the economy is growing at a decent rate.
Mr. Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. talked about that at a lunch last week, according to an administration official, and the vice president later gave voice to it in a CNN interview aired on Monday. “We have to be more direct and clear about exactly what it is we’re looking to do,” Mr. Biden said.
But Mr. Obama was focused on the odds against him. His staff researched it and told him that no president in more than a half-century had as many Senate seats open in states lost by the president. “This is probably the worst possible group of states for Democrats since Dwight Eisenhower,” Mr. Obama told WNPR radio in Connecticut on Tuesday.
In those red states, Mr. Obama was politically toxic and deferred to candidates who asked him to stay away. In the last days of the campaign, he visited just five states, compared with 10 states visited by Mr. Bush in similar circumstances in 2006. “The White House concluded that it should be the responsibility of those individuals who have their names at the top of the ballot to drive the strategy,” said Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary.
Mr. Obama understood in some cases but privately resented others. “We think that was a mistake,” one aide said. Mr. Obama’s irritation became clear when he said publicly that even if he was not on the ballot, his policies were, a comment that Republicans gleefully wrapped around the necks of their Democratic opponents. So Mr. Obama held his tongue, but privately kept quizzing his political director, David Simas, about the latest information on early voting.
Continue reading the main story 86CommentsHe had long ago given up hope that he would be able to push through some of his favorite priorities before leaving office. He told a former aide several weeks ago that he knew he would never be able to expand pre-kindergarten as he once hoped, and regretted it. But he hopes for possible deals on corporate taxes, trade and infrastructure. And he will try to use the lame-duck session of the departing Democratic Senate to push through as many nominations as possible.
Whether Republicans are open to dealing with him in the new year remains uncertain. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and other conservatives will resist. But Speaker John A. Boehner will have one of the largest House Republican caucuses in modern times, giving him more room to maneuver because he can afford to lose some dissenters if he makes common cause with Mr. Obama.
Anita Dunn, a former White House adviser to Mr. Obama, noted that voters on Tuesday were just as negative about Republican leaders as they were about Mr. Obama. In the end, she said, voters were eager not for more failure but for progress by both parties. “The message for anybody who’s in power is that voters are looking for a change in how they approach getting things done,” Ms. Dunn said.

If Republicans narrowly win Senate control, their joy should be tempered by this fact: In 2016, they will be defending 24 of the 34 seats at issue. These will include three in states that are among the 18 that have voted Democratic in at least six consecutive presidential elections.

This is key, the GOP must control the RINO crowd and produce results for the American people not the Chamber of Commerce crowd, the Democrat party has moved so far left over the past 15 years they have failed to understand the American people do not want to live under socialism/communism let us hope the GOP understands the same and becomes the party for working Americans, the first 90 days of 2015 will tell us where they stand if they fail our two party system is finished IMO. While I'm happy for their win I will withhold my enthusiasm until I see results.
I'm old with many opinions few solutions.
