Midterm 2014: An Election For the History Books

This midterm election can be seen as an historic election.

Tim Scott, Republican Senator-Elect from South Carolina, is the first black American elected into the Senate from a southern state since Reconstruction.

Mia Love, U.S. Representative-Elect from Utah, is the first Republican black (Haitian) female elected into Congress.

Elise Stefanik, as a 30 yr old Republican, is the youngest woman ever to get elected to Congress and just turned District 21 in New York from blue to red.

These candidates were all supported by the Tea Party. Oh wait, the Tea Party and the Republicans are supposed to be racist and sexist...how can that be? As Glenn Beck pointed out, no one even realized the historic nature of these candidates until after the election. That is the true mark of a non-racist, non-sexist Republican electorate...the candidates were elected on merit. It wasn't trumped up at all, like the way it was when Nancy Pelosi was facing the prospect of being the first woman Speaker, or the way Obama was going to be the first black president when the media made huge deals of the gender and skin color of these candidates.

Other noteworthy election results:

The Republican gains in the Senate and the House were significant, and they will now control both houses of Congress.

There is now a solid majority of states in the hands of Republican governors and state legislatures.

In Arkansas, Republicans now hold every congressional seat in the state for the first time in 141 years.

Congress will have 100 female members for the first time in history.

Lots of interesting stories coming out of this midterm election, and yet, the liberal media chose not to give attention to some historic wins. Pity, they're still playing identity politics.
