I'm ashamed of my state, California, but very happy to see that the House has gone GOP, and the TEA Party impact there and elsewhere. A negative side effect, however, is the increasing of President Obama's chances of being re-elected in 2012. This depends on him being as smart at Bill Clinton, who was re-elected on 1996 in no small part to the positive results of the GOP Congress.
If Obama plays his cards right, he can ride the wave of the House and the natural economic recovery due to happen.
To prevent an Obama re-election in 2012, the GOP must not only run a worthy candidate, but it has to explain for the next two years exactly what the Democrats in the Senate are doing and what Obama is doing, and how things would be done differently if the GOP had a majority in the Senate and had the Presidency.
