Red Tide

There was lots of bad news for Democrats last night, and a few rays of hope.  The Republicans won at least 60 seats in the House which are more than enough to gain a majority.  At least six Senate seats switched to the GOP, although Harry Reid defeated crazy Sharron Angle to hold on, with races still to call in Colorado, Washington, and Alaska.  Russ Feingold defeated.  Alan Grayson defeated.  Patrick Murphy, who fought so hard for Don't Ask/Don't Tell repeal, defeated. 
Crazy Christine O'Donnell lost big in Delaware and Chris Coon's win helped the Dems keep control of the Senate. 

In New York, insane Carl Paladino lost badly to Cuomo.

The red tide stopped in California where Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer both won.  Dems won most down-ballot races there also. 

Here is Texas, Rick Perry was elected governor.  Again.  Republicans won big in state wide elections.  My House District is so blue that our incumbent Democrat, Roberto Alonzo, ran unopposed.  However, a few districts over, Democrat Robert Miklos, a solid public servant and former colleague, lost his seat.
