From US News and World Report:
The GOP scored some important national wins on Tuesday–victories that will help shape the future of the party.
Whether the Democrats were fired because of their philosophy or because of their failure to address the issues of joblessness, the economy, and spending, as several of my bloleagues here on Thomas Jefferson Street suggest, is really beside the point. The GOP is back from the brink.
“Election Day proved to be an even bigger ‘wave’ election than anyone anticipated,” said Ed Gillespie, the former Republican National Committee Chairman who now leads the Republican State Leadership Committee. “Voters went to the polls and swept Democrats from office. As we enter a time with huge policy and political implications, new Republican officeholders will be given an opportunity to demonstrate commonsense conservative leadership and implement solutions that promise real results and positive change for voters.”
