Why Ravenwood is happy:

• Democrats lost control of the Senate. Now a filibuster is the only way they can cause gridlock.


• Judicial nominees will start to be approved.


• A homeland security bill can be passed without having to kowtow to big government unions.


• Roy Barnes was voted out in Georgia. Georgia has their first Republican governor since reconstruction.


• The liberals on democraticunderground.com are going nuts. ("the new computerized voting machines, and the fact that they are made by a Republican contributor should be a giant red flag.")


• Tax cuts may be accelerated.


• Tax cuts may be made permanent.


• Capital gains tax cuts may be passed.


• My stocks are more likely to start going up.


• All of my local tax levies were defeated.


• Pro-CCW Republican judges were elected to the Ohio Supreme Court.


• Terry McAuliffe is quaking in his boots.


• Saddam Hussein is quaking in his boots.


• Jumpin' Jim Jeffords is quaking in his boots.


• PC Coffee was struck down, in Bezerkeley of all places.


• Oregon voted against socialized health care. (Part of me wanted them to pass it, so I'd be able to watch the fallout)


• Kathleen Kennedy Townsend can start going by Kathleen Townsend again.


• Even Taxachussetts voted against a Democratic governor.

Why Ravenwood is sad:

• Pleasure Police won a smoking ban in Florida.


• Florida chose to throw a ton of money into reducing their class size with no guarantee of results.


• New Jersey validated Democratic disenfranchisement with a Lautenberg win.


• California voted to support rolling blackouts by returning Gray-out Davis to office.


• Ravenwood moved away from Georgia and wasn't able to personally vote Roy Barnes out of office

This is a partial list, and I may add to it later if I have time. Feel free to add your own to the comments.
