A good night for the Republicans
The night isn’t over yet, but things are looking good for the Republicans: they’ve won several key races, and it’s hard to see the Dems coming from behind. Pro-abortion pseudo-Republican Rep. Connie Morella lost her seat in Maryland, and good riddance. When asked who she’d vote for as majority leader if there were one vote separating both parties in the House, she said she didn’t want to get into hypotheticals — and she said that after the national party pulled out all the stops to help her re-election. How can a Catholic woman who raised nine kids think abortion is okay?
Even better, Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend lost the Maryland governorship. (As I said a few weeks ago, every time a Kennedy goes to jail or loses an election, an angel gets his wings.) To top it off, the bloggers of Catholic Light in northern Virginia will not have their taxes raised to pay for transportation “improvements.”
P.S. Thanks for your good wishes as I depart — I’ll try to post from the U.S.S. Iwo Jima, and we will have Internet access there, but it’s from a secure area of the ship and I really don’t want to break any security rules.
