The National Review editorial
"They do not can say they were not warned. The polls showed independents starting to turn away from Obama since the spring of 2009. In the summer, there were strong expressions of resistance to the health plan of the Democrats. In November 2009, Democrats won largely in Virginia and New Jersey, two states Obama had won the previous year. Within months, opposition to the law of health care reform helps the Republican Scott Brown to win the seat that Ted Kennedy had occupied for decades.
Democrats had much time to change course. On the contrary, decided that people could be easily confused. The weak economy and previous Democratic victories meant that Republicans could do well in this election, especially in the House. But it was the obstinacy of the Democrats who turned defeat into a fiasco. The Republicans took control of the House, defeated Liberals heavyweights as Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, and collected laws of government and state. The House will now have more Republicans than in any year from 40.
Republicans deserve some credit for its success. The early popularity of the president does not prevent them from opposing the stimulus plan, and rejected the arguments surface to cooperate with Democrats extend government control in the health system. In short, they refused to be acquiescent in his widely foretold extinction. The Tea Partiers
have much to be proud. Qualified as extremist and racist, they succeeded in forming a coalition that won the most votes, and, incidentally, I chose a record number of non-white Republicans. (The countries will now have two governors Indian-Americans, both conservative Republicans.) Like any political movement, especially a new one, the Tea Party made mistakes. But saw the opportunity to change the direction of the country and had the strength to do so. The Tea Partiers were essential for elect several new conservative stars like Marco Rubio, Pat Tomey and Ron Johnson. (All three come from states that supported Obama.) Many of those who followed the election of Obama envisioned a Republican retreat southward, act now as if they expected these results all the time. Pass to warn of the disaster the Republicans next time. And certainly there are objections and warnings that the Republicans need to hear, but not today, on our part.
highest Warnings are now sounding the Democrats, remarkably, still refuse to listen. They continue to think that people regained the right direction, and the Republican resurgence of the last two years prove to be a total aberration. For Republicans, that fact bodes much better for 2012 than any of the results of Tuesday's election. "
