The Nov. 2nd election results were not a big suprise to a lot of people. The House of rep. needed 39 seats to take the majority lead. They accomplished this by gaining rep. 60 seats. This has been the biggest upset since the 1948 election. The Republicans have yet to control the senate. They have only picked up 6 additional seats so far. There are quite a few states that have to do recounts. This articlebelieves that 75% of people are not happy with the way the country is being run. They are not happy with the high unemployment rate, the economy and the health care bill. The reason the way they voted this way is because of the tea party movement. John Boehner is now the Speaker of the House, John being a republican.
My opinon is that we should get more republicans in the senate and house. We have not yet seen what they can do when it is mostly repulbicans. It would be great to see what they could do. I agree with the tea party movement and i strongly support them. We need change in gov. People are simply looking for jobs and looking to turn the economy around.
