How things change, quite amazing that kirk is now up almost 20,000 votes!

 

[eznark]

Nope.

He and I disagree on everything (except that he has cool speakers and TV) and this is still wrong.

I still don't have a sub so in a way I am a terrible human being. It's been over a year for God's sake.

 

[Karma Kramer]

PROP 19 IN 1 MINUTE

 

[AniHawk]

282,000 people voted for Alvin Greene.

[AlteredBeast]

PROP 19 IN 1 MINUTE

Results won't be immediately released

 

[Ezduo]

Fuck this noise, time for The Daily Show.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Dingell is barely winning in Michigan, wow. What a blowout

 

[AniHawk]

AND HERE WE GO CALIFORNIA

 

[Axion22]

Here we go, California.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Great night for Democrats. Thanks to all the voters nationwide.

The Blue Dogs aka "Conserva-Dem's" got destroyed!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Dog_Coalition

Here's the tally so far. Total dem house loses w/ Blue Dogs in bold:

IN-08
IN-09
FL-02
FL-08
FL-24
IL-17
MD-01
MI-01
NH-01
NJ-03
OH-18
PA-10
PA-11
TN-04
TN-06
TN-08
TX-17
VA-05
VA-09

That's actually one of the reasons I'm not too bummed about the flip: Blue Dogs took it up the ass and lose their influence in the process.

I'm not sorry to see Feingold go down, though he lost to a complete shithead.

 

[Fatalah]

Daily Show!

 

[Calcaneus]

As much as I hate to see Republicans win these seats, I can't say that I'm particularly sad to see the Dems lose.

 

[Zero Hero]

Holy shit the Democrat from Kansas got SLAUGHTERED. :lol

What's the matter with Kansas?

 

[Chichikov]

Brace yourselves for textbooks stressing America's Christian upbringing, prayer in public schools, calls for healthcare reform repeal, marriage as one man and woman initiatives, minimal progress in ending the war on drugs, cuts on education and an increase in obesity.

Dude, they won The House, not the league of calamitous intent.

We're not going to be able to have a proper discussion with this thread moving at such speeds, let's go back to that tomorrow (if you want).

 

[Oblivion]

I'm still sticking by my prediction that the dems will keep both chambers.

 

[Averon]

On the bright side, Colbert and Stewart will have great material for at least the next two years

 

[Wilsongt]

Another tea-party candidate. First Indian-American to hold office in South Carolina

Yes, I am fully aware of that. South Carolina doesn't need a Mark Sanford-Lite, though.

 

[speculawyer]

When was the last time Republicans did anything for poor people?
That never stopped them though.

They yammer about guns, god, and gays. And that is enough for many.


And I've listened to the GOP talk about 'small government for over 30 years now . . . they never do a damn thing about it. Yet people fall for it every time.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Wolf Blitzer is HORRRRRRRRRRRRRRIBLE.

 

[Drkirby]

Poligaf, what is the situation of my simi-fine state of Florida? Are we doomed to the crazy man Rick Scott?

And damn, both Crist and Meek failed against Rubio? Damn it.

 

[BertramCooper]

Crapo.

What a fantastic name. :lol

 

[Patriotsbball5460]

Can't believe how much Meg Whitman spent, only to be 10-points down!

 

[tomjenkins]

oh god oh god oh god

 

[RustyNails]

On the bright side, Colbert and Stewart will have great material for at least the next two years

Its not like they ever ran out of material. Plenty of good stuff from both sides.

 

[Hitokage]

Here in North Carolina we like our status quo.

 

[dschalter]

lol at the cellphone predictions and shit. polls nailed this, maybe were a little too pro-dem (in the house).

 

[speculawyer]

why

Because he is not Jim DeMint.

 

[Oblivion]

Dude, they won The House, not the league of calamitous intent.

Uh, no? These teabaggers are psycho and exactly what the other guy described them as.

 

[fugimax]

Cali seems to be keeping it real so far. Keep it up, citizens.

 

[Patriotsbball5460]

Poligaf, what is the situation of my simi-fine state of Florida? Are we doomed to the crazy man Rick Scott?

And damn, both Crist and Meek failed against Rubio? Damn it.

I can't comment on Scott, but watch out for Rubio, he may be the future of the tea party, or even the republican candidate for president in 2012. Very impressive man

And CNN just projected Nikki Haley's win in SC

 

[SimpleDesign]

Poligaf, what is the situation of my simi-fine state of Florida? Are we doomed to the crazy man Rick Scott?

And damn, both Crist and Meek failed against Rubio? Damn it.

We're all going to die.

 

[RustyNails]

And damn, both Crist and Meek failed against Rubio? Damn it.

Rubio is Cuban-American. Florida has shitton of Cuban immigrants. Do the math.

 

[zero_suit]

Can't believe how much Meg Whitman spent, only to be 10-points down!

 

[thefit]

When was the last time Republicans did anything for poor people?
That never stopped them though.

Right, but cyclically speaking the pendulum is already on its way back. It does it every time.
It was anticipated as much, there was no way the economy was going to recover fast enough for Democrats not to loose one or both houses, its an impossibility. We had a the GOP as the boogeymen in 06 an 08. We have them again.

 

[threenote]

Brown and Boxer win wohooo.

 

[Oblivion]

On the bright side, Colbert and Stewart will have great material for at least the next two years

Unless the teapublicans decide to cut off federal funding for those shows.

UPDATED! :lol

 

[Nerevar]

Signed into law by Clinton, that turncoat.

 

[Chichikov]

Uh, no? These teabaggers are psycho and exactly what the other guy described them as.

Dude, it's the house, the house always have some crazies, not to mention that it's the fucking house, there's only that much damage you can do from it.

 

[Averon]

Its not like they ever ran out of material. Plenty of good stuff from both sides.

True. But they'll have even better material. And more of it!

 

[eznark]

Final predictions:

Senate: GOP + 7 (Johnson 54 Feingold 46)
House: GOP +56
Governor: Walker (56% of vote), Kasich (52% of vote) [those are the only two I have followed]

I'm looking pretty close right now!

 

[BertramCooper]

Rubio-Haley 2012!

MINORITY REPUBLICANS UNITE! :lol

 

[ToxicAdam]

Joe the Plumber is in Nevada at the Reid/Tea Party convention. :lol What a clown.

Signed into law by Clinton, that turncoat.

A TRUE bipartisan President. The best conservative President we have ever had.

 

[Ezduo]

Dude, it's the house, the house always have some crazies, not to mention that it's the fucking house, there's only that much damage you can do from it.

Don't they control the budget?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I'm still optimistic at the dem's 2012 chances. I don't see this as a referendum on Obama's policies so much as a reaction to the shitty state of the economy, something that he inherited and that cannot be fixed overnight. Let the Republicans have their moment. It's not like they have any sort of plans in place for making things better.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Alexi got Nadered.

 

[Wilsongt]

"You lie!" has been reelected, also. That's a one-two punch for the evening. One, two, three if you consider his son got elected, also.

 

[AniHawk]

Brown and Boxer win wohooo.

where are you seeing this?

 

[Patriotsbball5460]

UPDATED! :lol

PA-11 is 55-45 Republican atm on CNN.

The only benefit I see with the Dems losing the house. Maybe in 2012, we elect real Democrats and not fucking Blue Dogs.
