Could you have bothered to actually link to the exit poll?
What weak reporting. Any bum on the street could have written this.

One only has to tune in to MSNBC News to see that the idiot Dems want to believe that this huge upset is a referendum from the people telling government to start getting along. It' so stupid, it's laughable. It is in fact a referendum against Obama and the Dems for squandering 2 years shoving liberal policies down the throat of America while ignoring jobs. If they didn't learn this time, they surely will next time in 2012. Maybe by the time the GOP is done, their won't be any Dems left in government at all.

the American people are not stupid. They may be subject to deceit (2008) now and then, but deep down they are very savvy. They kept just enough democrat heads above water in the senate to throw rocks at, while "powning" the house. Come 2012 the left is going to smell what the American people got cooking!

By reconnect you mean promise another entitlement program funded by the middle class. Reminds me of a Beetles song.
I love how you pundits try and put your spin on this mid-term which is obviously a referendum on the Obama/Pelosi/Reid agenda. What Democrats need to do is listen to the American people. We want smaller government, less taxes, a reduction of debt, and an end to entitlements. How hard is that?! Apparently you "intellectuals" have trouble reading tea leaves.

One paragraph article by Brad. One tiny idea. You don't even know how many Republicans will be in the House yet. How many conservative Democrat Senators were elected tonight. Before tonight, Democrat Congress was falling apart. How many Democrats will not run for office now.
You have to go back to WW 2 for this kind of change. obama's Attorney General denied overseas military their vote. Fire the bum. Fire the President.
Harry Reid will return to senate. Can't say I am pleased over that. I am not.
Can't give our wins all to TEA, a group around since Feb. 7, 2009 I believe. Anti obama agenda very strong. Anti liberalism.
TEA needs to make their mark in Congress. John B. as Speaker is best person for job.
