The U.S. Mid-term Election:

The 2010 U.S. mid-term elections
which serve as a chance of 
reviewing the Obama admini-stration during the first two 
years of his presidency have resulted in 
an overwhelming victory for Republicans
who by adding more than 60 seats won 
the total of 239 seats in the House of 
Representatives defeating Democrats 
of 187 seats. In the Senate, Republicans 
took 46 seats by winning 5 more seats 
in this election and this has left 
Democrats narrowly securing a 53-46 
majority. For 40 straight years from 
1955 through 1994, the Democratic 
Party took control of the U.S. House of 
Representatives. Democrats lost control
in 1994 during the Clinton admini-stration but regained it in the election 
of 2006. This time in 2010, Republicans 
took back control of the House.
With regard to the ROK-U.S. 
relations, there would be not much 
fundamental changes except that the 
ROK-U.S. FTA is likely to be ratified. 
Also, Republicans would not raise any 
critique on the ROK-U.S. alliance as it 
has been firmly maintained so far. 
Nonetheless, there remains a possibility 
that Republicans can raise concerns on 
some specific matters: for example,
they will possibly request ROK to 
participate in the National Missile 
Defense (NMD), to increase U.S. arms 
sales to Korea, or to share expenses 
with the U.S. in dealing with relocation 
of the U.S. military base in Korea
