P.J. O'Rourke: "This is not an election on November 2. This is a restraining order." No matter how great our hopes, it's looking more and more like the Democrats will be routed from the House but still hold on to a slim majority in the Senate. It will mean we'll be unable to repeal the core of their odious "cap and trade and tax and bail and obamacare for all!" agenda immediately, but it will also mean we'll be able to at least stop it from getting any worse.

Considering the mess they managed to make up until now, I'll take what I can get.
