Boo hoo hoo!

Last night, Karl Rove informed W Bush at 23:15 ET that the House was lost. W Bush's reaction? Disappointment.

This morning, House Majority Leader John Boehner said in a statement, "Our challenge as Republicans is to regain our confidence, our courage and our energy to address the big issues that matter."

Wha wha what?!?

Let me get this straight… This could mean one of two things.
1) Now that they have lost control of the House, they have to do a lot to address the big issues that matter. Does that mean the Republicans have not really worked on the big issues all this time?!?
2) Now that they have lost control of the House, they have a lot to accomplish and address the big issues that matter. What did he mean by the "big issues?" Issues that matter to all of us the constituencies, or issues as in, "We've got to work towards regaining control?" What kind of big issues are we talking about exactly?

Either way you slice it, this just means that the Republicans don't have us citizens in mind. If they had done what was right, and address issues that matter to us, then maybe they wouldn't have lost so many seats! Ever thought about it that way?

Now we wait and see what happens in Montana and Virginia.

Note: Depending on which news source you go with, some are projecting Webb (D) as the winner of the Senate race in Virginia as of 13:04 ET, whereas others are cautious and suggest a recount is likely (due to current Virginia voting laws).
