A much subdued President Obama admitted yesterday that he took a "shellacking" in the midterm elections. Despite that meek concession, he doesn't appear to have gotten the order voters sent: Cease and desist. The Obama agenda has become a zombie, dead but continuing to walk among us.

Conventional wisdom suggests the 2010 midterm election was a referendum on the economy. That's not all it was. The public's distaste of Democrat-controlled government is much more profound.

Congressional Democrats are poised to lose the largest governing majority in a generation. The House certainly will return to Republican control after only four years, and the Democrats' 60-seat Senate supermajority effectively will be reduced to a tie.
The first Congressional districts to watch tonight.
Tonight, Republicans will watch the election returns hoping for an upset takeover of the U.S. Senate. And if President Obama has any sense, he will be rooting for the GOP as well.

Cisca Zarmansyah : By geopolitical, Tehran is benefited. Because the two neighboring countries (Iraq and Afghanistan) that have the potential to threaten, are now "benign". Its impact is the influence of Shiite Islam to West Asia, Central and South became increasingly widespread. On the other hand, Afghanistan could support Iran's nuclear program. :: ►

Perhaps the best alternative is to break away from them and give support to the struggle of Mujahideen in Iraq and Afghan, which clearly fighting for Islam.
