In the end Rick, it’s the results that matter. Abortion may or may not have much to do with that. What counts is the Democrats keep control in the senate. The House stands 212-204 Republican with 19 seats still to be decided. I’m still having problems with CNN’s math in regards to pickups, gains, flips. They report the Republicans have flipped 17 Democratic seats to the Democrats flipping or switching 5 Republican seats. A net gain of 12 seats for the Republicans. You had a 222-213 advantage prior to the election, if CNN is correct that the GOP should end up with a 225-210 majority. We’ll see.

I’m not saying the count of 212-204 is wrong, it’s just seats flipped if one follows the remaining 19 seats isn’t adding up. Of course, I suppose only a numbers guy would be attuned to that. The Democrats still have a chance, a slim one of retaining the house.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
