Haven't they heard that "Elections have consequences"?<BR/><BR/>That was what they were saying after Bush won the 2004 election by 2.5%, when the GOP had 55 seats in the Senate and 232, I believe, in the House.<BR/><BR/>Obama just won by 7%, we've got 59 seats in the Senate, and 257 in the House.<BR/><BR/>Elections have consequences.<BR/><BR/>America, bitches.
