In my little election as a township trustee, I narrowly beat the Democrat I ran against.  And mine has been a reliably Republican township for generations.  I'd keep telling myself this is because the Dems hit a high water mark with the election of Obama.  They won't be nearly as successful in future elections.

But I also sense we may be going through a sea change in this country.  After 26 years of conservative rule (from Reagan in 1980 through 2006), has the country decided it's time to give the libs (for 4, 8, 12, or 26 years) control?  There's an entire generation of voters who weren't around in the 60's and 70's to remember first hand what liberal ideology did to this country.  

Is it possible our side will be on the sidelines for longer than just a couple years (i.e. 1992-1994 then we took control of Congress with the '94 elections)?

I have a nagging sense we may be in the wilderness for much longer than any of us dare to think.
