Rove to Republicans: Time to Deliver

It’s not necessary to read tea leaves to figure out that Tuesday’s election results might be interpreted as a sign of some Americans’ dissatisfaction with the government and the desire to change who’s in charge. But GOP guru Karl Rove wants to remind Republicans that their mass takeover of the House and other top power positions is only the first step in stepping up their fight against the “Obama-Pelosi agenda,” and they didn’t win some popularity contest at the midterms, either, even if they won a lot of seats.

Federal Reserve Finds $600 Billion in the Couch

Trying to follow the amount of money the Federal Reserve has pumped into the economy (and the banks) can be truly mind-boggling, and it’s not getting easier. The Fed announced plans Wednesday to purchase another $600 billion worth of Treasury bonds and to buy more of the Treasury’s debt—up to $900 billion by June. The timing may not be a coincidence. A former Fed governor tells the New York Times that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke would prefer more stimulus money from Congress, but the new Republican majority in the House makes that unlikely.

The Dems will do it anyway, but the results speak for themselves : The historic Republican wave also produced historic results for minority candidates, from Latina and Indian-American governors to a pair of black congressmen from the deep South. In New Mexico, Susana Martinez was elected as the nation’s first female Hispanic governor. Nikki Haley, whose parents were born in India, will be the first woman governor in South Carolina, and Brian Sandoval became Nevada’s first Hispanic governor. Insurance company owner Tim Scott will be the first black Republican congressman from South Carolina since the post-Civil War Reconstruction Era in the 1860s-1870s, after easily winning in his conservative district. Scott, a 45-year-old state representative, earned a Republican primary victory over the son of the one-time segregationist U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond. In Florida, military veteran Allen West outfought a two-term Democrat to win his House race. He is the first black Republican elected to Congress from Florida since a former slave served two terms in the 1870s. The last black Republican in Congress was J.C. Watts of Oklahoma. He left office in 2003. There were 42 black Democrats in Congress this term. Several Latino Republicans defeated incumbent House Democrats. In Texas, Bill Flores snatched a seat from Democratic Rep. Chet Edwards, who had served 20 years in Congress, and Francisco Canseco beat 11-year veteran Ciro Rodriguez. Jamie Herrera became the first Latino congressman from Washington state. Let’s not forget Cuban-American Marco Rubio in Florida who beat and orange man, Charlie Crist, and a Democrat who never had a chance. And let’s be honest about those black Democrats.

Republican leaders have already vowed to reverse Mr Obama’s healthcare reforms and to cut spending. Mr Obama pledged to find common ground with the Republicans on key issues. No one party was now in control, he said, so it was important for Republicans and Democrats to work together to focus on jobs, security and the future, in line with the voters’ message. “It will not all be easy. We will not be able to…
