All three toss-up House races in my home state went for the Democrats. Indiana is about as red as it gets. Which means this is bona-fide shit storm.
Red meat for libertarians: The GOP's Nancy Johnson -- author of the biggest new federal entitlement in 40 years, the prescription drug plan -- also lost tonight.
Poker players now anxiously turn their eyes toward Arizona.

I'm sitting here in on the Southeastern edge of Indiana, and I can report that the feeling of "shit storm" in indeed palpable. Even right across the bridge in Louisville long-time congresswoman Anne Northup was ousted by John Yarmuth.
Also, here in Indiana's 9th district the LP ran a highly respected (and brilliant, I might add) economics professor by the name of Eric Schansberg and picked up 4% of the vote. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it's incredible for an LP candidate fair that well around here.

To think we even voted against Roosevelt and now we are handing control of the house to the Dems. the White house should have kept its dog Mitch Daniels less in line! Maybee thsi routing will finaly tech them a lesson that they need to stop trying ot make us more conservative than we actualy are!
