Good discussion. Have you tried inhaling a *really* hot curry?

I’m sorry O’Donnell and Angle didn’t win, but I don’t believe the alternative Republican candidates would have won, either. We get enough of those GOP squishes in NC: “Vote for me! I’m a lot like the Democrat, really I am!”

Thanks for your analysis grey_whiskers. I read it before any other postings on FR this morning, and it heartened me. I was sad about Alaska, Nevada and Delaware, and pissed off at Rove - permanently (what an ass he is) - but your piece gave me some ammunition to face a lib friend of mine who is going to throw it in my face this morning that we lost those states. Even so, WE WON BACK THE HOUSE - and contrary to what Rove says, who has apparently declared war on the Tea Parties - WE THE PEOPLE did it - the frigging Republican Party had NOTHING to do with it. So they can spin it all they want. We need to stay FOCUSED and concentrate our efforts on 2012 and cleaning out the rest of the Marxists and rinos. ONWARD AND UPWARD!!!

P.S. I hope you get over your cold quickly!

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear grey_whiskers!

Gret_Whiskers, I love your analysis AND I urge you to drink a LOT of hot broth with pepper and/or hot sauce, bury yourself under the covers, and sweat. This may work.

Take care of your innards, my whiskery friend.

Post-election analysis from the fevered and head-cold-wracked paws of grey_whiskers.

Thanks, G_W.

Yes, on the money.

And, as I have said on other threads, Rove is toast. He has a reputation as a brilliant political handler, but in point of fact he screwed up the 2006 election, he stuffed Arnold into California after conservatives recalled Gray Davis. He backed Arlen Specter and Rick Chaffee. He pretended to take charge of the liaison with Evangelical conservatives, and then kicked them in the teeth and lost millions of votes for the party.

Rove will continue to have backing from the media, including Fox News. But people should clearly understand that he is a man of no principles and a political loser.

We knew this was going to happen. The Tea Party won, but the regulars will try to suborn them, buy them off, and keep them in line. They cannot be allowed to succeed, as they have grown so used to doing.

Sorry. I meant to say that Rove backed LINCOLN Chaffee, and cost Rick Santorum his seat in the Senate.

GMTA, FRiend. I had just posted this when I clicked on this thread...

Great article!

I would credit Sarah Palin at least 75% for Tuesday's spanking of the Ass party including the Head!!

Yesterday I feel/think that Rush was washing Karl "Architect" Rowe's mouth with Lysol, and rightfully so, LOL!!!

Great comparison. I missed that during the election.

Sarah Palin and the TEA Party voters won about 700 Republican seats in the US House, US Senate, state legislatures, and governorships, and probably a thousand or two more seats in county and municipal races in the 2010 midterm elections, making 2010 the biggest election win for Republicans in 80 years, and the greatest conservative win in the history of the USA.
