Republican election angst roundup over at Instapundit.

I'm no expert. I agree that the Republicans have done less than their majorities in both houses could have enabled them to do. However, it's hard for the Democrats to establish that they offered anything other than "no" to any new thinking on entitlements and other real problems, and certainly no serious alternative on Iraq other than "redeployment."

It's a dangerous world. We need serious people in government. If all the Democrats were like Senator Liberman, I'd say that the outcome wouldn't matter too much in the sense that national security would be assured in any case. However, the Democrats gloat over kicking Liberman out of their party. That and their other pronouncements on Iraq and the the war on terror gives me no reason to be comfortable with them influencing national policy at any level.
