You got your wish. Looks like most of America agreed with you.

I'm quite interested to see how this plays out.

I voted for an incumbent democrat in the senate. I didn't vote for anyone crazy just for the sake of change.

This state would have had a republican governor, if it wasn't for one very large democratic county. The republican lost by 1%

I don't know how this will play out. Hopefully a little more balance in power.From the start, I've liked what the new, soon to be, house speaker has to say.

"Republicans may still be outnumbered in Washington, but with the American people and reform-minded governors standing with us, there's a lot we can do together to stop runaway government spending and help small businesses get back to creating jobs."
