Election Results

Obviously, I'm disappointed with the results of yesterday's 435 House and 33 Senate elections . . . I'm also disappointed that I was actually wrong for once. I hope Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi is as gracious leading the House as she was in accepting President Bush's congratulations . . . time, of course, will tell.

Though there was not an awful lot to celebrate as a Republican last night, I was pleased to see so many Republican woman and so many Republican African-American candidates for office. The 2006 mid-term election results will set no records for turning-out the Party of a President in his 6th year. But, it may be the next step in growing the Party base and establishing a permanent Republican majority.

Let's let the dust settle on the results before we make any grand statements about what these mid-term elections mean. There will be time to assess the results with a clear head in the very near future.
