The Republican has not had much to celebrate recently, suffering historic election losses in two consecutive elections and losing the White House. But since Election Day, Republican candidates have won three consecutive run-off elections, giving some in the party hope that Republicans' future political prospects are not as bleak as they seemed just one month ago."As House Republicans look ahead to the next two years, the Cao victory is a symbol of what can be achieved when we think big, present a positive alternative, and work aggressively to earn the trust of the American people."Completing the string of victories, John Fleming won a narrow victory in Louisiana's fourth district race. Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan praised the victors as, "two strong conservative candidates," and hinted that the late election wins bode well for the party in future contests. "Coupled with the recent Senate win in Georgia, it's clear that Republicans still know how to win elections as we continue to build a solid foundation for the elections in 2010," Duncan said in a statement.
