I'm not surprised that the Republicans had a big night, I can't say that the Democrats didn't bring it on themselves. There's plenty to say about the elections, but so much has already been said by people with more talent than I have.
I do have one observation. Over the last two years I've been frustrated, exasperated, and downright angry at times. But I often felt that the party in power was looking out for my interests. I don't anticipate that same feeling from Boehner and company.
