Mitt Romney on election night, Nov 2, 2010.
After all the candidates endorsed, flying coach across thousands of miles, pulling his suitcase in and out of hotel rooms, speeches given, funds raised, McDonalds meals on the road, and many days away from his beloved Ann, Governor Mitt Romney is delighted with yesterday’s election results.
Now that Romney has unlaced his elect-conservatives-running shoes, Jason Matter from Human Events was able to catch up with the him. Romney hopes Republicans keep their pledge:
11/03/2010
With its historic gains in the House of Representatives, the biggest thing the GOP can do right now is “honor the Pledge to America,” Mitt Romney told HUMAN EVENTS. “This election was a referendum on Obama’s agenda,” and the electorate took a decisive stand against the Democrat Party’s “excessive spending, borrowing, and growth of government.”
“Our [GOP] majority is growing,” the former Massachusetts governor went on to say, noting that House Republicans will end up with a net gain of more than 60 seats in the House, easily blowing past the 39 they needed to regain the Majority.
While many conservatives are disappointed about the losses in Nevada and West Virginia, Romney said that Republicans should highlight their victories in New England, where GOP challengers Charlie Bass and Frank Guinta beat Democratic incumbents to take House seats and where Kelly Ayotte held on to Judd Gregg’s Senate seat.
“It goes to show you that when you have strong candidates with a compelling message, Independents will get behind you,” even in a blue state like New Hampshire. Asked if the impressive GOP showing inches him closer to a 2012 presidential run, Romney said he’s “not thinking about that right now.
“I’m basking in the delight of our historic news.”

I know, I know thats a TON of red…. but I’m still a lil’ bitter that a huge chunk of Utah remains blue:(
There is a lot of land that is red, but there are many small congressional districts in the blue spots, where the major cities are.
Hopefully, the Republican governors around the country can re-draw the districts to Republicans’ advantage! Also, many liberal states are not gaining electoral votes, while conservative ones will be, such as Texas.
Dear Mitt, I’m thrilled to see the GOP sweep across the nation. However, I’m extremely disappointed with CA for the loss of the Governorship and Senatorial races. Is there any hope for CA?
Sincerely,
Concerned CA Citizen
Mitt Romney is leading. He has worked his butt off getting conservatives to Wash. Now he reminds them to honor their pledge. He told Obama what he needs to do to get the economy going. People should be begging Mitt Romney to be President.
Hey Aaron. I too am disappointed in Utah. I think the establishment wrote Philpot off early. He was a very good candidate. One we could be proud to represent our state. Philpot ran a very good race and ran out of time.
