I couldnt vote for romney. I live in CA my republican votes for president havent counted for years. People vote for a president as a figure head, and they vote for congress to make law. I think the latter shows more where people are headed. Not just in congress, but look at local voting and state leadership shift over the last years. Obama Presidency has been the best thing for conservative republicans in decades. It shows just how the left loves to abuse their power. After his presidency ends and he looses his grip on controlling information and the amount he has spent as president people will turn even farther to the right in local and antional elections.

States are poised to take on the fed on many levels and over many issues. The fed has grown to bloated and taken too many powers from the states, and the states will try to take them back soon. Especially if we get Cruz in office. The feds should focus on national security and trade (both items Obama has dropped the ball on, hello a resurgent Russia, and the messiest middle east in my life time) and less on social welfare, a state and city matter. Not to mention the racial divide Obama has brought upon america by his support of thugs over law enforcement

Not sure what this rant has to do with anything.

"No... the people have not spoken. More democratic seats happened to be up that year (21 to 15) and fewer of the seats for democrats had incumbents. The seats up for reelection happened to be largely in the south, Less people tend to vote during election years. And of course, there are many factors that go into the senate races. "
You are saying the people have spoken in favor of dems. I am saying you need to look at the whole picture. More state governers are repubs now than before the presidential election, congress has more repubs now than before. So the people have spoken, after 8 years of Obama and dems, the people have realized they made a poor choice in leadership and will now rectify the lat reamining spot of dem power in the white house.
So in other words, Obama should not apoint the next supreme court justice, the next president should. It the right thing, and its what a president of character would do. But Obama is not a man of character so I am sure he will whine along with the left about it. I can only hope that the republicans in congress do what is right, but I have doubt in that too. Maybe the next wave to overtake the political scene will be the tea party movement.
