Missouri voters send anti-Obama signal in electing Blunt...

Republican Roy Blunt soundly defeated Democrat Robin Carnahan to become Missouri's next U.S. senator in a bruising battle between two of the state's most prominent political families. The results signaled voter frustration with the sluggish economy and with the direction of the country under President Barack Obama, who, two years after winning office, will have to work with new lawmakers who campaigned on opposing White House policies.
Blunt's decisive victory was part of a larger pro-Republican trend statewide. GOP challenger Tom Schweich defeated incumbent Democrat Susan Montee in the state auditor's race, while longtime 4th District incumbent U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton lost to Republican challenger Vicky Hartzler. Also, Republicans looked to increase their majorities in both chambers of the Missouri Legislature.

So shall you reap: Government by gridlock...

The nation now faces two years of congressional gridlock. Under the leadership of Republican Speaker-designate John Boehner of Ohio, the GOP will march in lockstep on a conservative agenda of tax cuts, regulatory relaxation and spending cuts.
They will send these bills to the Senate, where they will stall, just like most of the bills passed by the Democratic-led House in the last two years. Very little will get done. If this is a revolution, it will be a revolution in slow motion.
