I was a blessed day in that it appears the GOP picked up at least 7 Senate seats to take over the Senate (has the potential to be more when all the smoke settles). They picked up enough House seats to help Obama set the modern times record for most House seats lost under a sitting president. Congrats to the president on that accomplishment.
Now, we have the official kickoff for State elections in Mississippi for 2015.
Word is that Phil Bryant will eventually face Brandon Presley, a democrat from Nettleton. Rumors abound the Tate Reeves biggest competition may come from Delbert Hosemann in the primary for the Lt. Governor spot. Tate has burned a lot of bridges in the last few years, so that could be interesting. Rumors also abound that the only statewide elected democrat in office, Jim Hood, may not seek re-election. Pretty much any republican with a law degree would throw their hat in the ring on that one.
Lastly, in response to the GOP taking back Congress, word out of the WH is that Obama is determined to give amnesty to the illegals in the country via executive order by Christmas. As opposed to moving to the center, like Clinton, and leaving on a high note, he is doubling down on the reason his party no longer controls congress in the first place. Amazing.
