Wicomico Republican Superbowl Headquarters
There's no denying the fact that the republican party won the Superbowl of elections last night across the country but Wicomico County Republican Headquarters was the place to be.
As the numbers came in it felt like a roller coaster ride the entire time. The only person we could confidently say was going to be a winner was Matt Maciarello. Well, that's not exactly true. Stevie Prettyman was pretty much a shoe in and her numbers proved such.
I'm going to get into more details some time later this morning. It was a late night for me and an early rise this morning, hence the slow start today.
I'll be back with much more very soon.
Power To The People!
Nothing short of a revolution. That's the only way to describe the public upheaval that took place yesterday.
Nancy Pelosi has been fired, the Senate is far more balanced and President Obama was resoundingly rebuked. Republican governors could control upwards of 30 statehouses when the smoke clears. That's what you call a consequential election.
As predicted, the explosion of government cost and the economic slump were the driving factors for voters. The results immediately reinvigorate the checks and balances inherent in the two-party system and bring a needed dose of fiscal sanity to Washington and the states.
Yet those are only the most obvious outcomes. The real meaning of yesterday is much more profound.
Let me put it this way: With apologies to Michelle Obama, I've never been more proud of my country. Millions of ordinary Americans rebuffed the harangues and lectures of their supposed betters and dared to take the future into their own hands.

MICHAEL REAGAN: My Dad, Ronald Reagan, Warned Us About National Health Care
Now that the elections are over the real work begins. My father, Ronald Reagan, warned us decades ago about “socialized medicine”. His words are as true today as they were in 1964.
If given the chance, he said then, the American people would reject a government take over of medicine and, by nearly every poll result, we did.
If given the chance, he said then, the American people would reject a government take over of medicine and, by nearly every poll result, we did.
But Congress and the White House ran right over the will of the American people and enacted a takeover of a huge segment of our private economy. This is not the America directed by its citizens upon which our nation was founded. Instead, we have been misled, bamboozled and treated with utter contempt by elected officials drunk on power. Even faithful representation has been ignored:
- We were promised the health care act would not increase private insurance premiums or taxes but premium increases have already begun and new taxes are on the way.
- We were promised the health care act would not increase private insurance premiums or taxes but premium increases have already begun and new taxes are on the way.
- We were promised that senior citizens would not be harmed but with $500 billion in cuts to Medicare (to achieve patently phony “savings”), that cannot be true either and the elderly know it and now fear the future.
- It was promised that this legislation would finally control escalating health care costs but we got the opposite of cost controls. Without such controls, Congress has engineered increased demand against a finite supply of doctors and hospitals—a virtual guarantee that both the national debt and household bills will skyrocket.

Republicans Take Control Of House
Republicans are celebrating a return to power in the House of Representatives.
Voters Toss Kratovil In Md.'s First District, Elect Harris
BALTIMORE (AP) - Republican Andy Harris defeated freshman Democratic Rep. Frank Kratovil on Tuesday with promises of a conservative approach to restoring America's economic vigor.
Beaming at chants of "USA! USA!" the conservative state senator told supporters at a Kent Island crab house that lower taxes and smaller government were the keys to job creation.
"We're going to make sure that America remains a land of opportunity," said Harris, an obstetric anesthesiologist who teaches at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins University.
With 90 percent of precincts reporting, Harris had 54 percent of the vote to Kratovil's 42 percent.
Libertarian Richard Davis got 4 percent in a rematch of the 2008 election for all three candidates.
Harris will represent Maryland's 1st Congressional District, which includes the Eastern Shore and parts of the counties of Anne Arundel, Baltimore and Harford.

Republicans Ride Voter Unrest To Control Of House
WASHINGTON (AP) - Republicans reaped a windfall from independent voters and tea party activists to seize control of the House in midterm elections, gained seats in the Senate and served notice Wednesday they will confront President Barack Obama with a conservative agenda to cut government and spur private-sector jobs.
"We've been given a second chance and a golden opportunity," Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, No. 2 Republican in the House, said as his party prepared to usher in an era of divided government. He called the outcome a rejection of Obama more than an endorsement of the GOP, cautioning fellow Republicans they must to work to win public confidence.
"People want to see results," he said on CBS's "The Early Show." "They want to see the government go on a diet just like they have."
Republicans scored the biggest party turnover in more than 70 years Tuesday with their win in the House and, in doing so, will dethrone Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi _ a prime target of their campaign _ who had crashed a political glass ceiling and made history with her elevation to speaker four years ago.
Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, overcame a tea party challenge from Republican Sharron Angle in one of the election's most brutally fought races.

For Bob Ehrlich, ‘This Closes A Chapter In Our Life’
On the jumbo TV screen in the Exhibition Hall of the Timonium Fairgrounds Tuesday night, with the sound on mute, a clearly exuberant Gov. Martin O’Malley gave his victory speech as the crowd watched mostly silent and unbelieving.
Throughout the evening, as one news organization after another declared the incumbent Democrat the victor, members of Bob Ehrlich’s camp still believed he could somehow pull it out. Told the disheartening news by a reporter, Ziggy Cirigliano, who for years had driven around in his pick-up truck with a huge “Bring Ehrlich Back” sign, said the numbers from Baltimore County had yet to come in. The reporter checked his laptop computer and gave him the bad news. Ehrlich and O’Malley were running neck and neck in Baltimore County, the home county where the former Republican governor needed at least 60% of the vote.

Who Got Stimulated?
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period: (below)
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR MARTIN O'MALLEY ON ELECTION RESULT
Baltimore, MD -- Following last night's election result, Governor Martin O'Malley issued the following statement:
"I am humbled by the strong showing of support from people from across Maryland. Maryland voters tonight sent a clear and decisive message: they want to move forward, not back. These past four years have not been easy for Maryland families, but together we have made the tough but necessary decisions to cut state spending in the face of a devastating national recession while protecting core priorities like job creation, public education funding, a four-year college tuition freeze, and public safety. Marylanders know it is not by accident, but by choice that Maryland is weathering the storm better than our neighbors and stands poised to emerge stronger than before. Tonight Maryland took a step forward.
"This campaign belongs to the thousands of Marylanders who made phone calls, knocked on doors, and talked to their neighbors about moving our great state forward."
Missing Cat, Please HELP! UPDATE
Joe,
Our two & a half year old cat has been missing since Saturday, October 30, 2010. He is all white with green eyes, has been neutered and goes by the name of "Sox". He is not wearing a collar, as he is an indoor/outdoor cat & typically stays around our home or the neighbors. He has never just "ran off" before, so we are now getting worried. He usually sleeps all day & goes out venturing at nights but unfortunately he didn't return home Sunday morning. He is missing from Brown Road in Salisbury, Md (behind the state police) off of Dagsboro Road. Attached are a couple recent pictures of him. If anyone has seen Sox, please contact his owners at 443-859-4385 or 443-880-0223. Thank you!!

The incident occurred at approximately 8:12 p.m. Sunday as Robert Brode, 27, was operating a 1997 Ford Explorer and was traveling northbound on US Rt. 13 in the left lane. A 2004 Chevrolet Silverado which was being operated by Benjamin Rieger, 29, approached Brode’s vehicle from behind and then attempted to pass on the left through the median. After traveling through the median, Rieger re-entered the left lane of northbound Rt. 13 where it then struck the driver’s door of the Ford Explorer. Rieger’s vehicle then traveled another 141 feet through the median while rotating in a counter-clockwise direction before entering the southbound lanes of Rt. 13. After entering the southbound lanes, the Silverado then struck and rolled up onto a 1993 Cadillac Deville which was being operated by Sharon N. Washington of Seaford, DE. Both vehicles then came to rest on the edge of the southbound lanes.
Benjamin L. Rieger and an 11 year old male, who was a passenger in Rieger’s vehicle, were pronounced dead at the scene. Their bodies were turned over to the Delaware Medical Examiner’s Office where an autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death. Sharon Washington was transported from the scene to the Milford Memorial Hospital where she was treated and released for her injuries. Robert Brode was not injured.
At this point the crash is still under investigation. Benjamin Rieger was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. It is unknown if the 11 year old victim was wearing a seatbelt. It is also unknown if alcohol was a factor in the crash.
