Readers may have noticed I have not yet said anything on the Republican wins yesterday. Obviously I find it good news, as it shows how premature were reports of the death of conservatism, and shows how foolish were those who suggested the Republicans needed to "change direction". However, it is still a bit early to pronounce the end of liberal domination and rejoice in advance of 2010. As the Demcorats just learned, it is easy to turn victory into defeat, and Republicans have a history of forming circular firing squads and doing themselves in, so we need to bear that in mind. Which is the main reason I am waiting a while before responding. I really want to consider exactly what this all means, wait for a few more polls come out (both conservative and liberal slanted ones), and think through the significance of the races. So, for the moment, I think I will refrain from commenting, though I will do so in the near future.
