Of course, our greatest victories were the triumphs of conservative candidates Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell as the Governors Elect of New Jersey and Virginia, respectively. New Jersey, a hard-core "blue" state, is a real prize for the Republican party, while Virginia, a "purple" state which sets pace for other swing states, gives us hope that similar states (including our own great Pennsylvania) may swing back into the Republican coloumn for next year's mid-term elections.
Speaking of Pennsylvania, 7 of our 8 elected statewide judicial candidates were conservative Republicans! This will have a huge effect on the direction of our Commonwealth over (at least) the next 10 years. Congratulations, conservative Pennsylvania!
However, the less publicized, but perhaps most significant of our accomplishments this past Tuesday was our loss in the New York 23rd district. Doug Hoffman, a conservative first, in a mere three weeks garnered the support of an entire nation, ousted the liberal "Republican" candidate, and captured 45% of the vote!! While Hoffman lost to the Democratic candidate Bill Owens (who captured 49% of votes), the mere fact that a New York conservative could capture 45%, even when Republican Committee people in the district felt the only way to retain the seat was by nominating a liberal, is astonishing! As Reagan said, what we need is not a third party, but a revitalized Republican party... and as we return to our conservative roots, we are being revitalized, and we will continue to take back our government!
In other news... President Barack Obama has golfed more in his first eleven months in office than George W. Bush did his entire term.
Sorry it's been so long since my last update, I've been living in and travelling back and forth to Georgia the past two weeks... I'm headed back south on Monday for a while longer, but postings should be back to normal in a few more weeks. Thank you for your patience.
Lastly, Sean Hannity has posted a version of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "That Ain't My America" to youtube. While I do not recommend this band and some language used in the song is crude, it is a creative, moving compiliation which makes an excellent point: THAT AIN'T MY AMERICA. Enjoy.
