only slightly anticipated by the best and brightest of aggregators and prognosticators.
The charts show only a slight uptick in the 48 hours before the election. That was the precursor of an underlying massive wave that swept away Obama, his party and his policies.
And that's what the election was all about.
There is no major love of Republicans or conservatives among the electorate.
There was no national agenda of the Republican Party though in individual races and for individual Republican candidates there were specific issues.
This election produced a huge mandate.
The mandate is stop Obama, his party and his policies. The electorate, if you read the results and the exit polling literally hate his policies, fear him and voted by much larger margins than anticipated to put Republicans in place to stop him.
There is no mandate for any Republican policy. None for conservatism. There is no mandate to compromise or get along with liberal policies. The ONLY mandate is to stop Obama, his party and his policies and end the harm to the nation.
If the Republican majorities do not perform exactly as mandated, they will be a mere flash in the pan and they'll lose again. They are the other guys elected to stop Obama and if they don't do it, they'll be toast in short order.
