The Republicans have a 2nd chance if they mess this one up the Republican Party will not exist long. There is a particular race that I was excited for not in Minnesota but in Kentucky, the Senate race. I am very well please with the result of Rand Paul (son of thee Ron Paul) winning the election for Senate. Rand Paul had great victory at 55.8% while his opponent Jake Conway only took 44.2% of the votes. Rand Paul will help bring the Republican Party back to its roots.
Now, In Minnesota for the first time for 38 years the Republicans has controlled in the State Senate. "The GOP Senate takeover puts both legislative chambers under Republican control for the first time since 1972." - Josh Simeone from KSTP. The only thing that is now not in question in Minnesota is that who is going to be the next governor of Minnesota. There is a recount going on right now. This could process could take a months. If this process does take months that means Tim Pawlenty would still be governor. Tim Pawlenty could then cut spending quickly with a Republican controlled State Senate and House. I think that Pawlenty should go for it if this process takes months.
I am will please with the elections but still have a concern with the Republicans losing their soul in DC and St. Paul
