hey, how do you all feel about what happened in the midterms.
They say Wisconsin is sooooo liberal but I'd say we are pretty moderate. We do have a democratic senator who just won re-election (Herb Kohl) and we have Dem Gov. (Jim Doyle) but in my district I voted against my representative, IMHO, he's been doing a lousy job and is an extremist conservative, and even though he's sooooooo hated, he won re-election because he's a household name (James Sensenbrenner). We have (I believe) a republican controlled state gov. and the conservative initiatives passed.
As for the national outlook, of course, I'm happy. I think now there's going to be some accountablity and some checks and balances. I think for anything to get done both parties will have to work together, which is a good thing.
