Local news was covering the VA election closely (I'm 20 minutes from TN/VA state line) and I knew it was pretty much in the bag for the GOP in Virginia. From most of what I had seen on the national level about the NJ election it sounded like a toss-up.

Its pretty interesting how states that were so ProBama in the presidential election have decided to vote the other way this go around.

Hey, has anyone seen Telco?

[audtatious]

Yep, he replied to me in another thread with the fud being thrown about by his party.

[sean@z1]

Well If republican voters had not been as so divided during the election and many i knew who should have voted did not during the presidental now wish they did vote. So I hope this keeps rolling and we gain congress and the white house back.

A very large number of young pro Obama voters did not bother to vote.

What was interesting was the 23rd district in upstate NY that went democratic for the first time in over 100 years after Palin and Limbaugh got involved. They drove all the moderates to the democratic side

[intermilanrox]

GOP swept almost everywhere.

In my town, Democrats controlled things for as long as I can remember.

But, Republicans swept the elections, with only 2 positions going to democrats, 1 representative of a district and 1 person in planing and zoning. Also our 8 year incumbent 1st selectman was replaced by a Republican with 55% of the vote.

I guess this sort of makes up for Obama winning, sort of.

Maybe all those ProBama's that you say didn't bother to vote actually got bussed up to the 23rd District to vote instead.

Well, at least you're sounding like a good democrat and making lemonade with lemons.

We had an overwhelming vote to support the expansion of Wishard Hospital here in Indianapolis. I am surprised that the DNC didn't claim this as a victory for Health Care Reform. j/k

Shows the extent of our Election Day.

Maybe he left that hole of a state he lives in and moved somewhere nicer? Say Maryland? :hehe

[themadscientist]

As a Virginian I did my part to swing the state back CLOSER to a good course. I'm not on the GOP's side, but their candidate spoke to my priorities a hell of a lot better than the Dem. I found it interesting that the White House threw Deeds under the bus.

He did run a poor campaign. I wonder if he had McCain's team working for him, it was that weak. But watching Obama sacrifice him preemptively is indicative of what a snake he is.

All apologies to Jim Malone, but...



...that's the Chicago way.

[themadscientist]

so is Bloggo still going on the reality show?

[audtatious]

The Chicago politicians are all going to be on a new Soap Opera, As The World Hurls.

I believe that the correct title is "As The Stomach Turns."

[audtatious]

Only if Obama was not trying to be a world leader.

[themadscientist]

If only he would go try to run the UN instead of the United States. They have been an inept bad joke for decades, he'd fit right in. Maybe then we could get a leader that put the country before his ego.

[audtatious]

The country can't hold his ego.

[themadscientist]

Even Bill Clinton must stand in awe of how much that man loves himself.

[audtatious]

I expect an Obama sports calendar out by Xmas.......but not mention Xmas.....and include lots of shirt-off pix for his fans.

Hey look, it's the delegate from the Hillbilly State!

What happened to all those "enlightened" people in the Garden State, buddy?

The confetti hasn't even been swept up from the Hope and Change celebration, and already people are returning to their senses.

If your Dems had not run it into the ground it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
