I've got to own up. Yesterday's election results really surprised me. It looks like Democratic voters finally found the time to go to the polls.

There are two nice things about last night for us conservatives: (1) when people talk about the culture of corruption in 2008, they won't be talking about the Republicans, and (2) Denny Hastert will no longer be Speaker.

Additionally, just before the election a large majority of voters said they still believed Reagan was right: government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem. Here's hoping that the GOP gets the mesage.
