Daniel Casse - "Our challenge for the next two years will be to pull the mask off this charade and bring the Democrats' worst habits and inclinations back to the forefront of American politics."

The vote was against Republican corruption and policies, not some Democratic "charade". Against the Republican record.

Ed Morrissey - "I don’t recall the last time Congress changed hands in the middle of a war, and it’s plain from the election that voters had that in mind when they gave control to the Democrats."

The "war" is over. LOST. Finished. Kept alive by artificial means. There is a difference between recognizing that and and changing in the "middle" of a war.

Kate O'Bierne - "Democrats are the party of government - - - "

Laughable. The Republicans are the party of HUGE government and the major threat to the Constitution today.

John J. Pitney, Jr. - "GOP disunity was on display during the 2006 campaign, and contributed to the party’s defeat. More and more Republicans tried to sidle away from President Bush’s Iraq policy."

It was Republican policy, the Republican record. The lockstep Rs tried to sneak away from their record, didn't work.

Marshall Whittmann - SANITY - "The Republicans suffered a massive defeat because the voters rejected their politics of polarization and mismanagement of the war. Republican leadership in Washington became ossified and corrupt. And this time the old politics of wedge issues did not work for the GOP."

Amen.
