Aftermath

It should be no surprise that Democrats will take control of Congress next year. Scandals, outlandish earmarks and the Iraq war have been a thorn in the side of the GOP. However, the main question is: Will things be any different?

A couple of days ago President Bush gave a lackluster speech which seemed to indicate that he may cave in to the Democrats' demands. Alarmingly, Bush even conceded that he would work together with Democrats to come up with a compromise to the minimum wage issue. So far, Bush has only vetoed one bill during his tenure at the White House. It's time to ink up the pen, Mr. President.

In Louisville, underdog John Yarmuth upset incumbent Rep. Anne Northup. Yarmuth wisely hammered Northup on the Iraq war issue. No big deal. Northup was just a RINO anyway.

Moving on to Kentucky state politics, the Democrats also made a considerable gain in the legislature. Thankfully, voters finally sent left-winger Steve Nunn home.

This year's elections should be a wakeup call to the Republican party. The Republican Revolution is over.
