Conservative Gains in House, 17 Reasons to Celebrate
While majorities may be won and lost at the margins, both parties are shaped by the Members who hold their most solid seats. Although the obvious story of election night is liberal gains in both chambers of Congress, a deeper look at the results indicates that conservative Republicans have 17 good reasons to celebrate, as well. The vast majority of this year’s class of Congressional freshmen ran on solid conservative platforms; with the returning Members of the House Republican Study Committee, they will form a clear majority of Republicans in the 111th Congress.

It is emotionally draining.
Can you imagine what the candidates are feeling today? Even the winning side?
Yes, I saw tears in Palin's eyes last night. I felt sorry for her. But, I'm not going to focus on this anymore. I was in a bad way last night, but this morning I'm going to change my thinking and - Press-on! LOL!

Theresa,
Did you read the profile of the candidates in the referenced article? I'm going to focus on that today. They have good solid conservative values and were voted in for those reasons.
I don't know the overall consensus of the conservative voting record. I'm just going to be positive and focus on the men and women in the referenced article.

I have a peace about the events. I am disappointed but excited. Things happen for a reason, God's reason. Sure he allows man to make choices but he is ultimately in control and this significant shift in our country is exciting for spiritual reasons.
And I think true conservatives will only only get stronger for it....kwim?
