A Conservative Member of the European Parliament says it is morning in America once again.

Victor Davis Hanson says America has just awakened from its spending binge, and has checked into rehab.

Our neighbors in Maine, despite the fact that they sent two Democrats back to Congress, decided to elect a GOP Governor, and put Republican majorities in both houses of their legislature.

Dick Morris and Eileen McGann says triangulation is not an option for the President.

That won't matter, of course, because unlike President Clinton, who successfully triangulated from 1994 to 1996 and won reelection, President Obama still believes his way is the best way.

Kathleen Parker agrees that the President and his people were blind to what was about to happen, and are still blind to it.

George Will says Americans are rejecting liberalism.

The New York Times believes a nefarious plan concocted by Karl Rove and funded by corporate interests was the reason why the GOP did so well on Tuesday. This is what the liberals really believe, and I think the President also believes it. That is why they will fail in 2012 (unless the GOP in Congress really screws up, or they nominate a weak candidate). They do not yet realize that white, working and middle class Americans (and some Asians, Hispanics and others) do not want a European-style social democracy in this country, and are fleeing from the Democratic Party because they think the party is building an unsustainable, intrusive government.

Roger Simon wonders if Howard Dean could beat Obama in a Democratic primary race in 2012. I do not believe the President will face a significant primary challenge from Dean or anyone else in 2012.

Democrats in Congress seem to agree on one thing, though, which is that the election debacle is the fault of the President and his advisers.

The Republican surge hit statehouses all over the country on Tuesday. Jay Cost breaks it down.

The Union Leader provides a link to all the official results from the election in New Hampshire. Democratic Governor John Lynch will face veto-proof Republican majorities in both houses of the state legislature and an Executive Council without a single Democrat.

Michael Barone has some thoughts on the election.

Fred Barnes has some thoughts on the Republican landslide.

Bill Kristol ponders some of the immediate implications of the change in Congress.
