Scott Rasmussen was just on FOX and stated Dems are now in a LOSE - LOSE situation that they created.... Way to go Nancy!
Hillary was a leftist, but she also has true on the ground political experience, something this joke never had. She certainly would have pushed leftist ideas, but never would have gone all in like this bunch has done. She knows what happens when you do that... experience has taught her pramatism.
Here’s the fact, Fauxbama capitalized on an anti-clinton movement in the Democratic party, and managed to be the last man standing to take that crown. This got him the nomination, and Republican apathy with a less than exciting candidate put him in the white house.
Now the man who’s actually worked at nothing, and who’s political career is defined by “present” votes and teleprompter reading, thinks he can just ramrod through whatever he wants, not recognizing that the entire US political process from the ground up is intentionally designed to stop such silliness. We lived under a King, and founded this country to keep from EVER having another one.
This guy and those around him are the most idiotic inept rediculously laughable people in politics. I said it when this guy got the nomination that he was probably the only person in history who could make Carter look good, and he’s certainly doing that.
Basically you don’t hire a child to do a mans job, and Fauxbama is a child, emotionally, intellectually, philosophically, he’s barely an adolecent in any of those areas. His goebellesque PR campaign bubble is finally popped, and its going to be scary to watch this guy self destruct, because he does not have the content of character to face what is coming.
Scott said in not so many words that who won depended on who came out to vote.
No one knew the extent of the Dems GOTV preparation and there was absolutely no applicable turnout model, so he had no way of predicting.
That is why he punted.
As it turned out, the GOP had a perfect storm, with massive suburban turnout and depressed innercity turnout.
That is what we all were hoping for, and anecdotal evidence suggested it, but the few thought that could realistically happen in Massachussetts.
Given Ras’ caving in to dem rumbling, I don’t care what he has to say.
No different than Zogby.
They won't need Cap and Trade anymore. After last night's election results they decided to just connect a generator to Ted Kennedy's coffin. :)

I hate to be the killjoy, but that's exactly what the Rats said in Nov '08. The Pubs should have woke up after their terrible showing during Bush's reelection, but they didn't and kept playing patsy-cake with lefties, while loading bills down with their own pork.
Scott Brown sounds like he is ready to shake things up - hopefully starting in the Republican party. They've become a bunch of whining wimps - save a few like Bachman in MN.
HE DID!
LLS
Sounds like a reasoned analysis to me.
Yea, I’m actually glad mclame didn’t win.
No the dems made stupid statements without facts.. IE they read low republican turnout as some sort of MANDATE for dems, it wasn’t.
Look at the votes that have happened this year, look UP AND DOWN THE BALLOTS, not just at the national races, you’ll see R’s are sweeping to victories up and down the ballots, not just in the national race.
What does this mean? Well this year is 2010, so guess what the state governments that are seated this year will set the voting districts for the next decade. And guess who’s going to win big not only in DC, but across the state houses, senats and governorships? Republicans are going to be the majority in states as well as massive gains in DC. That means all those special gerrymandered minority districts carved just to get a D elected will be broken up, and won’t be looked at again until 2020.
I don’t say what I say out of ignorance, or irrational joy, I say it because its in the numbers and the process. This election will be nationalized, and dems are facing a slaughter up and down the ballot. R’s control the states R’s redistrict, and when you redistrict you get to break up the gerrymandering the other party did last time. There will be more than a decade of consequences for the Democrats for their folly.
And it is answered prayers for and from the whole nation. We have all been behind Scott Brown, and supported him via favorite blog sites (like Texas Darlin...which reopened just to support this cause). No matter how the white house wants to spin it, this is a NATIONAL referendum against him and his policies.
The Hildabeast is sittin’ pretty right now.
Thank you....
Waterloo!
And people forget that McCain was born in Colon, Republic of Panama, according to his COLB issued by the Canal Zone.
Had he won, we would still be in one of many similar crises beginning with his birth.
According to Panamanian law, he is a Panamanian citizen.
And forget this stuff about his being born in the Canal Zone…which is not true…that he could still run for president. I was born in Ancon, Canal Zone, and it was common knowledge that any child born in the Zone could never be president much less being born in the Republic of Panama.
To do it right, it takes a lot of time, money, effort, and determination. There will need to be one study after another by consulting organizations that specialize in political demographics which show non-political justification for making any changes. There is very little chance of making any meaningful change that won't wind up traversing the hierarchies of federal courts - tied up for years - before it gets implemented.
Plus,
1) we have the problem of ACORN still haunting the halls of gov agencies - adding their corrupting input to the census and redistricting; and
2) populous states like CA have all of their electoral votes for POTUS go to a single candidate and they rely on socialism to survive their excesses. This makes it VERY difficult for any conservative to get elected with a margin that looks anything like a mandate.
But, I hope you're right that there will be a new wave of conservative legislators.
Yes I know redistricting winds up in law suits, but to believe that redistricting controlled by republicans won’t wind up with making life more difficult for democrats through their control of redistricting, even with the litigation, you are way too cynical.
If the last 30 years hold any lessons, its that genius is only recognized in the rear-view mirror, and from afar.
Genius’ have been the bane of this country since 1985 - Junk bonds, LTCM, Sub-prime mortgages, CDO’s, CDS’s, the Republican Revolution (let’s have a contract with america, and then forget we signed it), Embryonic Stem Cell Therapy, Anthropomorphic Global Warming (and the magic hockey stick).
Repealing Glass-Steagel seemed like a genius move at the time. Fannie and Freddie.
Reagan was a genius. “Star Wars” certainly did the trick, even though Bush and his crew of genius’ squandered that opportunity. So was Thatcher and Churchill.
lol
I had forgotten THOSE two !!
Man he was awful, McCain basically stood opposed to EVERYTHING that Brown just won running on.
