The midterm shellacking the Democrats got tonight was about one thing and one thing only: competence. I think voters everywhere finally came to realize just how out of control and incompetent government – at every level – and took it out on Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, so much so that they were willing to give Republicans a chance to turn things around.

I hope the GOP recognizes the chance they’ve been given and don’t screw it up.

…and I hope the Democrats just keep on doing what they have been doing.

While it was disappointing to watch Jeanne Shaheen beat out a good man like Scott Brown in NH, seeing the “Queen of Corruption” Kay Hagen lose in North Carolina and that smug elitist twerp Sandra Fluke lose her race for the California house. At least some folk in the Golden State still have a sense of good judgment.

..and can we all now agree that “Abortion Barbie” Wendy Davis got what she and her grotesque excuse for a political campaign in Texas deserved?

More than anything else, seeing that pathetic excuse for a human being Harry Reid lose his Senate Majority Leader status made the whole night worthwhile. A big tip of the hat to RNC chairman Reince Preibus for recruiting great candidates and putting together a get-out-the-vote ground game that bettered anything the Dems could put together.

The biggest loser of the night? Barack Obama. But don’t expect him to act or do anything different than he’s been doing for the past six years – anyone as insufferably narcissistic, petty and arrogant as he is could care less what happens to his party or this country. It’s all about him, and if anything, I expect him to be more confrontational with Republicans than less.

It won’t help him any, however – what the 2014 midterms have clearly shown is that he’s now the lamest of the lame ducks. And it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
