Well let me opine why I might not be.
First off, B O isn't going to take ANY SHIIT off of Mitch McConnell now, and McCONNELL knows it.
B O's got FOUR YEARS to wreck havock over whats left of the GOP, and to be honest with you 700, I'm betting B O ..WANTS the same ol' SHIIT from the do-nothing Congress, because the MSM will have a Field-day..'setting up enough congressmen' so as to flip the house in 2014, Similiar to NEWTS contract with America.
That 'knife' cuts both ways 700.
Boehner is no fool. The F'n tea-party is ruining whats left of todays GOP, and he knows it.
PS, the SENATE isn't going Anywhere but UP in 2014.
You mark my words.
I saw a Shiit-load of YOUNG PEOPLE (first time) registering at the polls today . This is a new HUGE movement of kids of all colors. And this was in lily-white NH !
B O ain't really gonna have to 'crack a sweat'. If he does, then by 2014, the GD...GOP will be GONE as we know it now !

Congrats on your win ! I honestly believed the race would be closer, but congrats all the same !
One question though. If the Dems were re-electing a "WHITE" prez, with the same exact circumstances, would the results be the same ?
Predictions for 2016
1. US debt hits TWENTY TRILLION !
2. US credit rating drops...............again
3. Jobless rate remains at 7+
4. More company's move jobs and business overseas
5. $5 gal. of gas

The next 2 years will be the same as usual in D.C. Just the way our forefathers intended, checks and balances !
And Barry-O.............don't think that some of those same young voters won't be looking at the likes of Chrissie, Rubio or Jindal, in 2016, especially when they can't find full time employment, once completing their education !

Word out is the Obama supporters will be partying all night since they don't have a job to be at tomorrow morning.

Thank you for a genuine congratulatory wish !
Unless Rubio or (my NEW BEST friend : ) ) Christie are jettisoning (part of) the 'old party line' of Capitalism AT ANY COST, I repeat southwind (not trying to be funny here)..AT ANY COST, then they'll be ineffective.
Jindal is a whore who 'Backed the Wrong Party period, although he's able to get away with it down there.
I get a feeling Rubio 'might' be a whole new breed of Rep. , learning how to "keep some things" and maybe 'change some things'.
Too early to tell. Maybe it's just a 'hunch' I've got about the hispanic lad.

And, if Romney had won with a Democratic Senate, would you be asking the same question? What hypocrites!

In retrospect, this may be a good thing for the Republicans.
Looking forward to 2016.... Biden is widely expected to run... Granted, Hillary has said she's done, but both her and Bill's egos are just too big for me to take that seriously.
Both are already well beyond the point of being labeled old white people, and it's going to be tough for them to continue to try and be the party of the young & the hip.
So, assume they do step aside... Who is in the next tier?
Guys like Mark Warner, Antonio Villaraigosa and Bill Richardson? They'll be in their 60's.
Casting a wider net, you have Andrew Cuomo, Deval Patrick, Martin O'Malley, and maybe even Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, but they'll all be in their 50's...
Bottom line... they can go with a diversity play, but it won't be a young candidate like they had with Obama, and that may limit some of the charisma & appeal.
Looking at conservatives, there's what I'd consider a deeper bench of younger hopefuls.
Guys like Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan, and Marco Rubio are all still in office, and likely to step up. There's also Kelley Ayotte from NH and Nikki Haley. All of them are in their 40's. All are quite intelligent, great speakers, and with the exception of Ryan, provide a clean break the "old white guy" image.
If the "grey hair" is still needed, there's Allen West, Tim Pawlenty, Chris Christie and Rand Paul.
Bottom line.... 49+% of the country voted conservative, which means the base increased sizeably from 2008. If the Republicans can manage to keep that base and also use the next two years to break the "old white guys" stigma, grabbing another 2-5% shouldn't be out of the question. All they need to do is find a way to reach blacks and Hispanics.
