So, how about that Republican House Majority?

Some of you, with that bizarre exception of the caveman who has an internet connection yet no interest in politics, may have heard that the Republicans have gained the House majority. There has been some talk about John Boehner being elected as the Speaker of the House, but Tea Party leader Michele Bachmann is going to run for the position, maybe with some success. It appears that the Tea Party has nearly run the GOP's campaign for them, grabbing all of the headlines to keep the public interested, and defeating Democrats in key states. The Republicans had better get used to the more hardline conservatives of the Tea Party, because they appear to be here to stay.
