Post Election Thoughts

I waited for the dust to settle in the blogosohere to make a post about the election.

I did a little gloating on the liberal blogs, but I was nice about it.

The election turned out about as I expected.

In Montana we elected a strong majority in the Montana House, and a nice, working majority in the Montana Senate.

The Dems proved themselves to be hapless once again, spending $300,000 to beat Roy Brown by 16 votes, only to end up with a 28-22 Senate minority. Kendall Van Dyk will be the most expensive, irrelevant legislator in Helena's history if his slim lead holds.

The GOP is in control of the PSC now, and my friend Brad Molnar will be Chairman, so at least we don't have to worry about wild rate increases for the next couple of years. When the Dems run the PSC they never see a rate hike that they don't like.

Nationally, The Great Leader, President Obama was jap-slapped by the voters, in the worst mid-term results any President has ever seen. The Dems who walked the plank, and voted against their constituents on Obamacare and stimulus are pretty much gone.

The job is only half over.

In 2012 another 1/3 of the Senate is up for re-election, and so is The Great Leader,

So we now need to set our sights on finding a good conservative candidate to replace Jon Tester with.

So I'm going to take some time off from the blogs.

As David Crisp so aptly says; "There's no money in it."

And David is correct.

Plus, this blog was created for one purpose - to keep the liberal blogs in check.

The Dems astroturf blog has gone silent, as they are now running for cover, hoping that all the parties involved don't end up on the front page of the Helena IR or the Billings Gazette.

So I'm taking some time off too.

I'll watch politics, stay involved in the Yellowstone County GOP as much as I can, but I'm not keeping my fingers glued to the keyboard of this DELL laptop.

I'll see you next year.

Turn out the lights when you leave - LOL
