And we haven't even taken the wrappings off the package yet.
Voters are already gloomy about a GOP Congress
By Holly Bailey
It was probably a smart idea for House Republicans to ban confetti at their election-night watch party.
Two separate polls out this week — one from CBS News, and another from the Pew Research Center — find that voters aren't too excited about the new Republican majority that's about to take charge of the House of Representatives. Just 48 percent of voters say they are "happy" about the GOP majority, according to Pew. By comparison, 60 percent of those polled after Election Day four years ago said they were happy about having elected a new Democratic majority in Congress. Meanwhile, 57 percent in 1994 said they were happy about historic GOP gains that year.
CBS's poll found similar discontent, with just 40 percent of those surveyed saying they are "pleased" about the outcome of the 2010 vote.

I have a feeling that the 40% will be a lot more remorseful about the middle of next year, as will the rest of us. Unless, of course, we happen to be "too-big-to-fail" bankers, high-end polluters or Wall Street thieves. In which case, we will be very happy.

This makes me remember the tens of millions of people who claim to have attended Woodstock.
Many of those voters, once they've seen the result of the gridlock they caused by their votes, probably will say they voted against those GOP/Teabagger obstructionists. |

Buyer's remorse?
