Incumbent Todd Young (R-Indiana 9) trounced Bill Bailey, but across the river in Louisville, incumbent John Yarmuth (D-Kentucky 3) retained his seat in the House. So this election really didn’t change much for my former stomping grounds.

And Mitch was re-elected, again, even though people in Ky don’t really like him. Same old shit.

At least the GOP did not gain an overwhelming majority in the Senate. They’ll still trumpet about a “mandate” from the people, though.

They triumphed Bush winning by one state in 2004 as a mandate from the people but yet acted like Obama’s victory in 2008 was by the slimest of margins. They’re going to act like this is a mandate and my hope is that like Bush in 2005 and beyond that will be their undoing but I hope that the economy does not go downward because of that. Unfortunately, we replaced a lot of reasonable minded Dems with Republican ideologues in the Senate tonight.
