The New Mexico State House Republicans are panicking a little; they have not been in the majority since 1954, and they do not know how to elect a Speaker and organize committees, etc. anymore. However, I am sure they will manage, somehow.
And, even if they only get these next two years, it will be a good thing, because when the Democrats come back, which they will, it will not be with same old party stalwarts that lost their positions in this election.
In 2012 there were several articles about how the Republican Congressional leadership ran to 15-20 years or more younger than their Democrat opposite numbers.
In the Congressional Black Caucus there are no "opposite numbers," but as it is, you just are a nobody around there if you do not have a picture of the bridge at Selma on your office wall and can point to yourself in it, or an autographed picture with Martin Luther King.
There just naturally are going to have to be some changes soon.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Thought: All men (and women) are NOT created equal in every way. They have different abilities at and from conception. The only way they are the same is that they have certain unalienable rights. I wonder if the Dems have warped American consciousness enough to think that things like affirmative action and judgments of disparate impact are based on Constitutional language?

If God isn't a Volunteer/Boilermaker, then why is the SunSet/Rise Orange/Gold?
Nicely clicked ... good color separation too.
"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day-to-day, to the last syllable of recorded time."
And petty distractions that keep us from the lives we should be living.
Thank you, oh Bard-of-Avon. -CP

Petty thoughts may bring a pretty penny.
Toil, toil, tires and trouble, fires burn and cauldron bubbles,
Eye of Newt and wag the dog...
Meh. Shakespeare's much better, and I'm not bitter. Just broke for the time bein'.
Charlie Crist stepped up to the plate and fanned.

This is a generational election, Althouse. It deserves some contemplation, and by supporters of both parties.

No instapundit for me, either.
Same here.
Who won the Walker/Burke bet and how was it settled?

A beautiful picture professor.
Beautiful clouds. Reminds me of the clouds in a Frederick Church painting.
