Well, after nearly two years of hype and campaigning, we have elected a new President of the United States. While I cannot say that I supported President-elect Obama, I offer my congratulations to him and his followers.
The Republicans didn't just get beat for the White House, they took hits in the House and Senate as well. It looks like they'll have just enough Senate seats to filibuster, but that's only if the party is united. Overall not a good year for the red state boys.
The Republicans have themselves to blame. They had the Presidency and both houses of Congress for several years and did precious little to reign in spending. Of course, they got a lot of the blame for the current financial crisis, which in part can be attributed to decisions from the Clinton administration and reform opposition from Congressional Democrats such as Barney Frank. Not laying it all the Dems feet, they just deserve a fair share of the blame.
The Bengals 1-8 and the Republicans routed. Not a great year for my picks.

Hopefully the republicans will go back to their roots and realize that the conservatives in the nation want exactly that...not democrats in republican clothing.
