Most of the whack jobs got smacked down... good news. It's nice to have Republicans getting some responsibility in government again. A viable opposing party is vital. Now they actually have to do stuff, not just b****, moan, and obstruct.
I have no problem with the House falling to the republicans. I've never been a fan of Pelosi and I believe balance is a good thing. Also, like you said, it's time for the repubs to put up or shut up. Let's see if these inexperienced tea baggers know what to do when they actually get into the chamber.
As Ms Pelosi stated at the beginning of a previous house of congress, "impeachment is off the table" in regards to the crimes of George Bush. Should Mr Boehner make the same statement about Mr Obama?
I would love to see Congress go the birther route. That would be some serious lulz for SNL and the Daily Show.
