This is the official thread for Election Day (the entire week if need be!) relating to the Howie Carr Show and the Jeff Kuhner Report. We'll start off with Howie's column about Elizabeth Warren in her wigwam. "I have pictures but they're not for you..."
Damn shame what happened up there.
PA called for Obama. Ohio heading that way, The path to victory is very very narrow...maybe if O gets re-elected he could get impeached...
Kuhner: “Mainstream media intentionally suppressed
Libya story”
BREAKING: ABC News projecting Republicans will retain control of the US House.
Sigh...has anything gone right tonight? May not even be a cong. pickup for GOP in MA/6 since Tierney is now leading Tisei.
Did networks call states too early?
Are predictions correct or will they turn around?
Romney tech could still win but very difficult. Maybe
impossible. Oh and 6 years at least of Warren? Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
Brown conceding
It’s over, Obama wins. And:
>>In #MA6 — very close race. RT @wburdebbecker: Tisei conceding in 5 minutes
I can’t stand kuhner and his pal laughing even tho O won, hahahahaha-they know they have their shows locked for another four years.
hahahahah!
I am not laughing.
all these pundits who make $ off our anger are set for another 4 years with their lucrative contracts.
what a joke
I am out
maybe not?
>>Tisei to crowd at Peabody Marriott: “I’m not coming down to concede the race ... (or) to declare victory.” Still to close to call in #ma6
salem news
you got a point
and how about Dick Morris and his way-off prediction of a Romney landslide? Dan Rather also predicted a good night for Romney as did WTKK’s michael Graham
I dont know RR I just dont know or care right now
-keep the faith !
I am going to try to avoid political sites for now-thanks for your posts raccoon and also I want to give a shout out to the savage list~!
take care all :)

OK let’s wrap this thing up. So damn depressed on how things turned out. I won’t say I’ll give up following politics but last night really hurt and I may be more than a little less intense in talking politics online and listening to talkradio. Why bother, is this is the result? Won’t give it up totally but I am a lot less enthusiastic about it all.
Here’s Howie’s column. If you want to keep going on this special thread, fine but maybe will just go back to the regular Howie ping thread after this.
Bay State’s voters got faked out way too easily

Scott Brown never had a chance.
It’s amazing. This guy is probably the best retail politician in the state. He worked his way up the greasy pole, from assessor to selectman to state rep to state senator to U.S. senator.
“He’s for us,” his yard signs said. They might as well have said, “He’s one of us.”
But all of it counted for nothing. He couldn’t beat “the machine.”
“Anything is possible,” Brown was saying last night in his concession speech, “there are no obstacles you can’t overcome, and defeat is only temporary.”
Unless you’re a Republican in Massachusetts.
Scott Brown may be the last Republican to win a statewide fight in Massachusetts for a very long time. He caught the machine flat-footed in January 2010 when he out-hustled Martha Coakley and stole the Senate seat Ted Kennedy held all those years.
And since then, the Democrats haven’t lost a single statewide fight.
Despite his upbeat concession, Brown hated losing to the fake Indian. In most states, she would have been toast once it was discovered that she’d claimed, without a scintilla of evidence, that she was one-32nd Cherokee.
For the first 37 years of her life, she was white, and going nowhere. Then she decided to begin checking the box, and within nine years she’d scored two Ivy League law professorships. And then she became white again — “Okie to her toes,” as she put it.
Phony to her toes is more like it.
“She’s not from here,” Brown moaned last Friday from his “Victory Bus.”
She thought western Massachusetts had a seacoast. She didn’t think she had to register as a lawyer. She demanded higher taxes on everyone, but refused to pay herself at the state’s voluntary higher rate. She said she owned no stocks, only “mutual funds.” She bragged that she’d provided the “intellectual foundations” of the wretched Occupy movement.
And nothing stuck. Being a Democrat means never having to say you’re sorry.
The Washington Democrats raised $40 million for her, and put the unions at her beck and call. Teamsters Local 25 was once named in a presidential report on organized crime as pretty much a wholly owned subsidiary of the Winter Hill Gang. This year Local 25 had a large canvas sign on its wall in Charlestown endorsing Elizabeth Warren.
What does Brown do next? Probably run for governor in 2014. Who knows, maybe he’s got a chance.
“I’m going to sleep very very, very well tonight,” he said. And so will the state Republican Party. For a very, very, very long time.

Here's a long term plan -consider it, please.... Every time there's a choice between two jobs (for conservatives) - a red State or a blue State job, choose the 'red' state job. Keep the states we have - give them Californian - we take Florida - fight over swing states. It'll take years for dem looters to ruin their blue states - in the mean time our States become stronger...
Here's my take - if we run a candidate who has rallies where millions of citizens show up - and King Obama has 12 people show up to his - even WITH TOP HOLLYWOOD singers giving free concerts... then we're NOT ever going to win a national race again.
Conservatives can't fight by queenbury rules while dems are using 'no holds barred' and kicks to the groin...
