It's that time of year again where I give my thoughts on the election. Of course, as most of you know, I am a Democrat, so I haven't been all that hyped about the results. Quite frankly, I'm not really surprised by the results of the election. Most of the time, the incumbent party will lose seats in the midterms, so it's not really that surprising. However, I do know this is a big loss for the Dems but, who is still the president? I mean, all the Reps and Tea Partiers are acting like this is the presidential election.
One surprise for me was Bob Etheridge. He is a long time US congressman from my state of North Carolina. Apparently he has lost to Rep. Renee Ellmers who I haven't liked since day one. Quite honestly, I believe the reason Ellmers won was because of the video of Etheridge "assaulting" a student who was interviewing him. I personally believe the "interviewers" were placed there as a trap for Etheridge to let the GOP candidate gain some ground. Trust me, this was probably the only way to defeat him. Unfortunately, I am not in his district so I couldn't vote for him. I definitely would have, though, because I have always supported him. Oh well, like I said, who's still the president?
