New GOP majority could mean less clout for Wisconsin
Majority of state reps are now Republicans

WASHINGTON — Reps. Tom Petri of Fond du Lac and James Sensenbrenner of Menomonee Falls are among the five most senior Republican members of the House of Representatives, but that doesn't mean the Wisconsin congressional delegation will have any additional pull under a new GOP majority that will rule for at least the next two years beginning in January.
And while the new Republican tilt of the Wisconsin delegation seems to bode well for the state in this new Congress, it could mean fewer federal dollars back home, as GOP leaders have vowed to curb spending.
Ah, Larry, fewer federal dollars, curb spending, sounds good to me.
What the hay was the outcome of the Nov 2nd election. Big spending, out of control democrats got thrown out of office or like Obey were afraid to run again. And if the republicans turn RINO, they will get thrown out on their rear ends and become a minority party like the democrats are today!
Let's just wait and see what happens?
