From the LVRJ: Coupled with their success at recruiting strong candidates, and some
Republican missteps, Democrats hit a payoff Tuesday night, retaining
control of the Senate despite having to defend 23 seats, almost twice
the seats held by the GOP."Harry Reid, I am proud to tell you,
will be majority leader," Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, chairwoman of
the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, told Reid before they
embraced in front of a cheering group of Democratic staffers and
volunteers at an election party at the Liaison Capitol Hill hotel.
"This
is what happens when your No. 1 goal is to defeat the president and not
work to get legislation passed," Reid said, a few minutes after the
networks declared President Barack Obama had won re-election.
Based
on returns Tuesday night, Democrats were positioned to hold at least 52
seats in the two-year session that starts in January.
The
election positions Reid, 72, to remain Senate leader for another two
years. The Democrats' leadership election is set for Nov. 14. http://www.lvrj.com/news/reid-poised-to-remain-majority-leader-177611971.html
I don't blame the Democrats and Reid for being in this position of power. The GOP had an excellent chance to win back the Senate but the GOP either nominated candidates with big mouths who didn't know when to shut up, there were stupid voters who voted in a lying candidate in Massachusetts who thought she was an Indian- probably in another life, an extremely liberal/socialist/communist in Wisconsin and in North Dakota and Montana, 2 Red States, they elected Democrat senators- disgusting for those states.
So, now the country gets Coward/Senile/Crybaby Harry Reid for at least 2 more years.
Congratulations, Americans, you get what you deserve.
