I maintain a cautious optimism in the wake of this year's presidential election. Any Republican would stand a strong change of winning the Presidency back from the clutches of Democratic Progressivism.
Whether Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney or Ron Paul or any other candidate takes the coveted GOP nomination, Barack Obama has a lot of explaining to do in order to cover up and justify his rampant mismanagement of this country over the past three years.
Yet even if Obama stays on for another four years, it is certain that Washington will face four more years of more divided government, with a stronger GOP majority in the Senate as well as an established Tea Party caucus in the House.
Some likely changes to look forward to would include a change of leadership in the House of Representatives. Perhaps Minnesota House Rep and former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann will run for House leadership, maybe even challenge the more establishment-leaning John Boehner for the Speakership. Bachmann never tired of railing against Big Government, she was instrumental in coalescing the Tea Party caucus, and she brought to the national stage the grave peril that this country faces if untrammeled debt continues weighing on the American People.
In the Senate, even if GOP leader Mitch McConnell has failed to turn Obama's reign of terrible state intervention into a one-term wonder, he will command respect within his caucus and abroad as a statesman who was not afraid to get political with a president who has attempted to politicize everything.
