Hope and Change: Republican Mia Love will be representing Utah’s 4th Congressional District. Love is the first Black female Republican ever elected to Congress. Go HERE to read what Love had to say about the 2013 Supreme Court decision that effectively invalidated Californians’ Prop 8 vote against homosexuality-based “marriage.”

Folks, I would add to this excellent compilation by my friend and stellar Texas education activist Donna Garner, the very good news that two pro-family leaders against the aggressive homosexualist agenda were elected to state house (in Colorado and Michigan). Gordon “Chaps” Klingenschmitt won in a landslide in Colorado Springs and Gary Glenn of AFA-Michigan won 55-45 in Midland and Bay Counties in Michigan. America is on her way back! — Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH

U. S. SENATE

• 28 Democrats who voted for ObamaCare are now gone from the U. S. Senate.
• As of midnight on 11.4.14, the Republicans had won 52 Senate seats; and the Democrats had won 44.
• Louisiana is still to be decided and is a probable win for the Republicans; that would make 53 Senate seats.
• Alaska and Virginia have not been called yet and could easily become seats 54 and 55 for the Republicans. [Editor’s Note: there is a good chance Democrat Mark Warner will win Virginia, so the best likelihood is that the GOP will control the Senate with 54 votes after the Louisiana run-off election.]
• It is possible that some Democrats and/or Independents might also flip to become Republicans because of the landslide victories of last night.
• Republicans picked up 8 Senate seats — Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia.
• Four incumbent Democrats were defeated — Begich, Pryor, Udall, and Hagan.
• There are 100 Senators in the U. S. Senate.  Only 51 are needed to pass a bill.

U. S. HOUSE

• The U. S. House is made up of 435 members.  A majority is 218 seats.
• At last count, Republicans took 246 seats with more to be decided.  Right now, that is the largest Republican majority in more than 60 years.
