2. "... Rand Paul projected by CNN to win his Senate race in Kentucky and another conservative, Dan Coats, projected to win the Senate race in Indiana."
3. "I'm more comfortable with Fox," say I, after watching CNN for a while and then switching.
4. Oh, CNN is better. Better graphics. Lots of people saying things. Annoying much of the time, but more detail. Mary Matalin enthusing about Portman winning in Ohio, a state Obama won.
5. DeMint already making his victory speech. Kitty Dukakis in trouble for seeming like "a walking billboard."
6. CNN says Coons wins. We won't have Christine O'Donnell to kick around anymore.
7. Rubio! David Gergen enthuses about "a Republican Latino with star power."
8. "Wow, the first time one of the fictional Althouse characters actually had a complete story arc! Bravo!" (Scroll up.)
9. It's so sad for the Democrats. They gave us so many things. Gifts. Expensive gifts. That we didn't want. That they bought with our money.
10. Tim Kaine blabs on and on, making a happy face. Eventually, Wolf Blitzer cuts hims off with "It's going to be a long night for you.
11. CNN's music for tonight is the same (or just close) to what was used in the HBO John Adams series. It's about the Framers, no? As the Tea Party clinches it.
12. Drudge says: "REPUBLICANS WIN SENATE SEATS: AL, FL, GA, IN, OH, KY, MO, NH, SC... DEMS WIN: CT, DE, MD... TOO CLOSE TO CALL: PA, IL..." Hey, what happened to California? Earlier he was calling it for Boxer.
13. Manchin. "Huge win" for the Democrats, says Wolf Blitzer, about the hot West Virginia race.
14. The GOP takes the House. It's outside of the margin of error, says NBC. Pelosi is gone. Ding dong. [UPDATE: Now MSNBC is calling that "a mistake." MSNBC is awful.]
15. NBC says Wisconsin is "too close to call," as the polls close.
16. Rand Paul victory speech: "I have a message! A message from the people of Kentucky! A message that is loud and clear and does not mince words! We've come to take our government back!"
17. MSNBC is hilarious. They're near meltdown. Rand Paul will destroy America. The Republicans "salivate at the thought" of worldwide economic collapse.
18. O'Donnell conceding. Very cheerful. Chirpy. I listened to Marco Rubio's victory speech a few minutes ago, which was, by contrast, very mellow.
19. Scott Walker has, it seems, won the Governorship here in Wisconsin. That's supposed to mean — that must mean — no to the high-speed train boondoggle. Also in Wisconsin, Russ Feingold is way behind.
20. Feingold has lost, quite decisively. I'm sorry to see him go. He's a good man. But I should admit that I voted against him. I had to vote for the Party of No.
21. Geraldine Ferraro and Sarah Palin appear side-by-side on Fox News, analyzing the elections, denouncing sexism, and then ending on this adorable, ultra-girlie note:
22. Screen shot:
23. I just thought that was amusing, the way YouTube inserted my face into the Fox News. By the way, did you notice, at the end of the clip, when Geraldine said she wanted to go on "Dancing with the Stars," Sarah said "I'll hook you up"?
24. John Boehner tears up talking about American values, which he's chased all his life. Then, talking about his business, he sobs. Keep it together, Boehnsy!
25. That got a little... weird. I hope Boehnsy is ready to lead. Anyway, here in Dane County, Feingold's campaign manager George Aldrich is not giving up: "Russ is down by 80,000 votes, but...up to 1.4 million votes haven’t been counted." None of the Madison votes were in when he said that: "We are confident that this race is going to tighten, it is going to tighten quickly, and we may be in for a long night here."
25. Over at Drudge, it's the 3 Rs:
Rubio, Rand, and Ron.
26. Charles Krauthammer on Fox News: "The Obama agenda is dead." The Democrats have retained the Senate, apparently, but, looking forward to 2012, they will, self-defensively, distance themselves from Obama — says the Kraut.
27. Feingold has conceded. NYT:
Quoting Bob Dylan, he said, "My heart is not weary, it's light and free, and I've got nothing but affection for those who have sailed with me."The Times misses that "Forward" is the state motto. And maybe that "fist in the air" was posing as the Wisconsin "Forward" statue.
It is not clear what he will do next, but Mr. Feingold, 57, told the crowd: "It's on to the next fight, it's on to the next battle, it's on to 2012 and it is on to our next adventure, forward." He raised his fist in the air and left the stage.
28. Karl Rove exclaims that he's "exhausted." I was just saying he looked tired.
29. Speaking of tired, it's interesting that Harry Reid will be sticking around. There's something so dreary about him. Does his victory cheer Democrats? Or would they have had more fun kicking Sharron Angle around?
30. I'm tired too. See you in the morning.

Good fucking job, Carly! You had the easiest opponent in the world and you fucked it up just like you fucked up H.P. when you ran it.
If Angle loses in NV = EPIC FAIL.
Ritzy said: "When Machos bitched on his blog..."
Is that your explanation of why you launched into a personal attack on him, asking him about his income and his employment status, while calling him a "whore"?
Alrightythen.
You know that thing I've told you about, where you actually drive people away from your side of an argument, rather than convincing them?
You're doing it again.
Is that your explanation of why you...
Pasta, I treat people how they treat me or how they treat others. Some people treat others nicely and I play nicely with them. All of us get rhetorical license to play games, but when Machos takes it to extremes and puts others down he knows what he's got coming to him.
Be fair. I know you're capable of it.
Dead Julius said...
Yeah, if a political movement that has existed for 18 months can't capture both houses of the U.S. Government in their first off-year election, it's a bust.
I'd like to see any other movement accomplish one/tenth what we just pulled off. God knows the Greens and Libertarians have been trying forever.
Wow, Dead Julius, you had a pretty high standard of success for the GOP: They would have had to run the table in the 10 competitive races -- ten for ten.
Half of those were toss-ups, and half were unlikely gains. Even if they'd all been tossups, the odds of winning all would be one in a thousand.
And I also don't think it's out of bounds to call someone out for thinking that they're better than others because of who butters their bread.
Waterworks is on stage.
Did Pelosi ever cry?
As everybody noted, Julius is giving us the big spin for the Demos.
8 state houses, 60 seats in the House, Rove is positing PA, IL, and CO will go R, for a pickup of 7. If Miller and Angle win, that's 9. But Julie says it's a FAIL.
Su-u-u-re it is.
WV "ovagms" What J gets when his talking points from Kos arrive (2 months late).
Oh Jesus -- John Boehner is crying on television, explaining how hard it's been to get to where he is now.
Ugh. How did we end up with this guy as our new presumed speaker of the house?
John Boehner just faked some huge crocodile tears while trying to pretend that he can relate to anyone in unfortunate circumstances.
I wonder who coached him to do that? Whose special interest hinged on that melodrama?
C'mon Ritmo, the City Paper has been running a "How Evil is Tom Corbett" feature for the last six months. According to them he's the fucking anti-christ.
Murphy went down. Lentz went down. Kanjorski went down. Carney went down. Dahlkemper went down. 5 districts in PA just flipped. Sestak is trailing at this point.
Don't try to spin it with that "Republicans are more reasonable in the Northeast" crap. If they are, why the villification?
Ah yes according to Shitmo, only welfare queens should be Speaker of the House.
Ugh. How did we end up with this guy as our new presumed speaker of the house?
Enjoy it, man. I warned you. This is precisely the kind of phony you knew you'd be getting. He knows who he's working for and it sure as shit ain't you.
And show some fucking respect to your new speaker! ;-)
1jpb, I don't think Pelosi can cry. I think her tear ducts are actually squeezed shut from the various lifts and tucks that have left the skin on her face tighter than a goddammed drum.
She shows emotion by grimacing and hissing.
If they are, why the villification?
Because their wins help fuel a brain-dead, dangerous and anti-American agenda.

I can't resist the urge to call him:

Did you guys know that San Fransisco banned Happy Meals today? They banned Happy Meals!!! HAPPY MEALS!!!
They literally want to outlaw the Happy!!!
Now let's see if they legalize recreational marijuana use on the same day. Wouldn't that be ironic?
"John Boehner just faked some huge crocodile tears"
Those weren't fake. They guy has a well established record of crying, when 99.99999999% of the population wouldn't cry in a similar situation.
Ritmo -- Get over yourself. You started the argument. You insinuated that I am not employed and getting $170 is why I took the "job" of election judge.
As I say, we have had this conversation before. My household income far exceeds yours. I am rich relative to you. I made you look stupid. Again. And also I made you feel bad because you don't have as much money as you would like to have.
I even gave you an honorable way out of this hole you dug for yourself, but you refused to take it.
Boehner is giving a victory speech and getting verklempt all over the place. My impulse is to smash his face in. He speaks as if he is completely unaware he and his dumb Party are on probation.
Heh heh heh heh. You said Boehner.
FOX calls Kasich over Strickland for Ohio Gov.
Kasich!!!!!!
ijpb -- As long as he doesn't tap for anonymous blow jobs in airports, I am happy with him. That's my baseline on election day.
Ritzy, they just called it for Kasich in Ohio.
Obama just lost in 2012. He can't win without Ohio, and he can't win Ohio without a couple hundred thousand fraudulent votes...and those might just get investigated now.
Have a good night.
"As long as he doesn't tap for anonymous blow jobs in airports, I am happy with him. That's my baseline on election day."
You, and the people of Louisiana.
And show some fucking respect to your new speaker! ;-)
I'd take an even-money bet that he won't be elected Speaker.
A hard wind is blowing tonight.
Good fucking job, Carly! You had the easiest opponent in the world and you fucked it up
The incumbent Democratic US Senator from California, who sits in a seat Republicans haven't held for over 40 years, is "the easiest opponent in the world".
What an interesting mind you possess.
Ugh. How did we end up with this guy as our new presumed speaker of the house?
Look at the bright side -- he might have just blown his chances.
PA called for (R) Toomey.
Thank the gods. Shouldn't have been so close. Now bite your nails over NV.
He speaks as if he is completely unaware he and his dumb Party are on probation.
I know. I actually emailed his office, saying that he looked too coifed tanned and well-fed. That I wanted my Speaker to look gaunt pale and tired, as if he was spending his hours on the House floor defending America instead of sipping cocktails and eating steak at best lobbyist holes in DC.
No response. Didn't expect one. We'll see if they get it.
Its not a "second" chance, its the last one.
There is nothing honorable about the way you conduct yourself, Machos. When your chips are down, you kick whoever's closest. And then you complain that others are uncivil. That's just how you are.
That said, I don't know what you're talking about and I don't care. If you're less secure with yourself, that's your own cross to bear. I don't compare your life to my own, but that's mainly because you seem to belong to a very different species than I do, biologically speaking. A very hateful one, at that.
Well ya the guy posts all the time as a Liberal and tonight he's a Republican *concerned* about California.
Hey at least he looks more natural.
I don't know what you're talking about and I don't care.

OK, the joke works better with ASSUME. But honestly, with what it takes to become a Pres today, maybe PRESUME works just as well.
Weak puns aside... After all the upsets in this election, I'm amazed people all presume the new Republicans in Congress and all the old hands will automatically fall in place behind Boehner.
Not that I think an ugly leadership battle would be good for their caucus; but after this election, I'm not presuming anything.
Julius is a peach, ain't he?

Rudy Giuliani just now on Fox: "We'll find out tomorrow whether Obama is an ideologue or a pragmatist."

That's a little generous...

Toomey beats Sestak for Specter's Pa. Senate seat
YEAH!!!!
Voting in California is all about the evil of two lessers. I don't really care much about anything other than 19 which looks a sure loser at this point. :(
CBS now calls 50 for Democrats in the Senate, 219 for Republicans in the House. Any chance at a real surprise in either chamber is now gone. What's left is a question of the sizes of the majorities.
It's nice to see the shit hole of Youngstown, Ohio continues to vote for Democrats.

On Prop 19
Keep in mind that DUI attorneys consistently argue that marijuana consumption does not necessarily impair driving. So now, if the employer can’t prove that it does, he may not even be allowed to prevent his employees from driving — at least, not without risking a lawsuit.
This is crazy — and it’s anything but libertarian.
If you want to empower the civil attorneys out there with a new weapon they can use to terrorize employers with, then by all means, vote yes. But if you’re sick of creating new protected classes — if you don’t think employees should be encouraged to toke on the job, to give them a new right to sue if disciplined or canned for bad or lazy work — then vote No on 19.

Jeez, Boehner has a habit of crying. That really bugs me about him.
FAIL.
so has America's Politico made a mea culpa?
Yah, he's on suicide watch.
I actually feel bad for him. I have to believe it was all parody.
Patterico's argument is one of the dumber ones I've heard.
Re John Boehner, for some reason I give props to almost anyone who grew up in a family with 8 or more kids. And Boehner was one of 12!
Though I think his phrase "rotten jobs" sounded bad when so many people would accept any job.
John Boneher = perfect name for male porn star
Naah, it's pronounced Baner. Bill Boner, past mayor of Nashville and former Congressman, he had the perfect name.
Rove says almost every candidate Obama campaigned for lost.
Feingold concedes. Johnson ends acceptance speech with a prayer.
Dumber?
BJM: yes, AP admitted that he was wrong. Something about using Al Gore the wrong way.

I'd vote against Prop 19 based on the smell alone.
Fen, Obama campaigned big for Dayton, who is my next governor (bleh!).
And he campaigned for Murray, who looks to keep her seat in Washington.
Tomorrow I'm going to check out the success record of the National Organization for Marriage, who spent a lot of money in support of Dayton's GOP opponent. They had a number of other targets around the country, including Boxer.
I would have voted for Prop 19, as I don't support the expansion of government.

FOX calls for Reid... blech

Reid wins. Blech. Think they'll drop him as leader, though?
I swear that "blech" was my description of the Reid win before Fen's post posted. Funny how the senate leader inspires that sentiment.
E.M. Davis, you must have read that result upside down. The name change for Rhode Island was rejected 250162 to 71030. It was the only result I liked in the whole statewide election.
Madawaskan - "
That means Toomey overcame a Sestak lead of 283,341 in Philly.
You don't often see 84% of a vote go one way unless you're looking at-
Dictatorships.
=============================
Or looking at dumb blacks on the Philly Plantation, voting just as Massah Ed Rendell say they done have to do, with city black overseers watching to make sure they do with no shirkin'.
Only thing that keeps Democrats viable is Progressive Jewish money and clout and a 91-95% black vote.
Only thing the blacks get out of it are gerrymandered safe black Districts ensconcing a Black Leader for Life in office - and enough goodies to keep them in line.
They get a man whiter that Bill Clinton even Reagan or Nixon in the Oval office ...and ask "Hey, wheah all de black folks in charge". And are told that they have Valerie Jarret, Eric Holder, and new staff hired to tend Michelle's garden. That and "wise Harvard and Yale people that will care for and seek what is best for black people, as if those blacks were their own beloved children".
"Feingold concedes. Johnson ends acceptance speech with a prayer."
Amen.
Marijuana is considered an impairing substance by the state of California. It doesn't matter if defense attorneys claim otherwise; they're wrong as a matter of law. If you discover your driver is smoking pot on the job, you absolutely can fire his ass for it whether pot is legal or not. You could also fire his ass for being in violation of federal laws and safety regulations.
Tea Party shows some cracks.
Reid over Angle.
Coons over O'Donnell.
Weak candidates.
Fiorina and Whitman, hardly tea party types, also take a dive.
The high profile mamma grizzlies not done well.

Did Pelosi ever cry?
She squeezed a couple out after saying this shorty after the Townhall rebellions began.
“I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw — I saw this myself in the late ’70s in San Francisco, this kind of — of rhetoric was very frightening and it gave — it created a climate in which we — violence took place,” Pelosi said.
Of course she failed to mention that the violence occured when Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk were murdered by a fellow Dem, ex-Supervisor Dan White.
Unfortunately the scuttlebutt hereabouts is that she'll run for SF mayor next.
Michelle Bachman to Li'l Chrissy Matthews: "I imagine that thrill is probably maybe quite not so tingly on your leg any more."
BWAAAAAAAAH-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Haaaaaaaa!!! Atta girl! ;)
How the hell is Townhall calling CA for Boxer when it's 47/47 with 20% precincts reporting?
What is my biggest disappointment tonight? I ate five oysters but only four worked!
Nah I wished Reid had been sent packing back to Searchlight, NV.
Nancy Pelosi = Baghdad Bob. Fitting since SF is Baghdad by the Bay.
The Senate's a wrap. I'm surprised that Reid won. I expected 51 seats. Looks like it's 52 or 53.
WOOOT!

All three of them-I don't know if that makes a trend.
But, I've always felt that's something that doesn't get discussed.
Johnson finished with a prayer. But Feingold finished his concession speech by quoting Bob Dylan.
Democrat Senate wins in NV, WA, and CO???
Oh this is depressing.
Certainly isn't the bloodbath that was advertised. Maybe, just maybe, with regard to the House, but it's more like a little teeny-weeny paper cut with regard to the Senate.

Does Obama care that the Democrats lost the house?
Doubtful.
Obama cares about electing Obama in 2012. Nothing else. He will not much care about gridlock in Washington for two years, or advancing his agenda, as long as he can get elected in '12.
So his agenda will move to the center.
Until 2013, when he plans to be inaugurated again.

Other than that - with Republicans winning so many governors race and the minimum 14 states switching state houses to Republican, the country is being set-up well to rid us of some more Democrats in 2012. With the House stopping the Obama/Pelosi fascist agenda, 2012 is looking more hopeful than ever.

Gee, I sure hope there isn't a second house of Congress or anything for these Tea Partiers to worry about winning. They might have to see legislation passed there, too.
Personally, I don't care much that Meg Whitman lost. She would never be able to get anything constructive accomplished in CA anyway, so let the Democrats wallow in their own crapulence. Even the much-reviled Schwarzenegger made some effort to cut the budget and got nowhere.
Good to see one of my least favorite Democrats, Alan Grayson, bite the dust. I would have liked to have seen Barney Frank pay a price for his leading role in the mortgage meltdown, but that would probably have been too much to expect.
I wonder what will happen to Christine O'Donnell? Possibly a slot on Fox News. I find her very fetching, I have to admit.
Charlie Rangel won reelection, of course. Have any black congressional representatives in safe districts ever lost an election due to their political corruption? Not that I know of. Their constituents seem to rally to them all the more.
Tomorrow we'll see what Dear Leader chooses to make of this. A few weeks ago, addressing a black audience, he told them to get out and vote. "Don't make me look bad," he said. It's all about him and his narcissism. Guess what, Obama? You look bad.
BTW, I hope George W. Bush understands that only by repudiating his legacy of fiscal irresponsibility has the Republican Party been able to recover its political viability. No, I don't miss him at all.
My thoughts on tonights election:
1.) Back to the Land of the Lost with your half-reptile ass, Joe Sleestak! Thank you, fellow voters of Pennsylvania!
2.) Plastics.
3.) Anna Little and Christine O'Donnell lost. Now, I don't give a shit about the Tea Party, but they're both just so perky and cute it hurts my heart to see them suffer.
4.) California's pretty much fucked six ways to Sunday, isn't it?
5.) BOW TO THE AQUA BUDDHA, BITCHES!
27. Feingold has conceded. NYT:
Quoting Bob Dylan, he said, "My heart is not weary, it's light and free, and I've got nothing but affection for those who have sailed with me."

Mississippi
Every step of the way we walk the line Your days are numbered, so are mine Time is pilin’ up, we struggle and we scrape We’re all boxed in, nowhere to escape
City’s just a jungle; more games to play Trapped in the heart of it, tryin' to get away I was raised in the country, I been workin’ in the town I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down
Got nothin' for you, I had nothin' before Don’t even have anything for myself anymore Sky full of fire, pain pourin’ down Nothing you can sell me, I’ll see you around
All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Well, the devil’s in the alley, mule’s in the stall Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all I was thinkin’ 'bout the things that Rosie said I was dreaming I was sleepin' in Rosie’s bed
Walkin' through the leaves, falling from the trees Feelin' like a stranger nobody sees So many things that we never will undo I know you’re sorry, I’m sorry too
Some people will offer you their hand and some won’t Last night I knew you, tonight I don’t I need somethin’ strong to distract my mind I’m gonna look at you ’til my eyes go blind
Well I got here followin' the southern star I crossed that river just to be where you are Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Well my ship’s been split to splinters and it’s sinkin' fast I’m drownin’ in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, it’s light and it’s free I’ve got nothin’ but affection for all those who’ve sailed with me
Everybody movin’ if they ain’t already there Everybody got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow Things should start to get interestin' right about now
My clothes are wet, tight on my skin Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in I know that fortune is waitin’ to be kind So give me your hand and say you’ll be mine
Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay You can always come back, but you can’t come back all the way Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

Dead Julius said...
...but it's more like a little teeny-weeny paper cut with regard to the Senate.
With 60, it took iron party discipline to pass their most controversial bills.
With 51, or even 54, they'll never pull that off. They'll have to either work across the aisle, or get nothing done.
And then whatever they pass has to be agreeable to a House controlled by the other party and to a President who stands firmly for the positions that cost them their 60 votes. So again, they'll have to learn to negotiate, not dictate.
That's more than a paper cut. That's a shift in power. Not a switch, but a shift.
Republican Roy Blunt is winning big over liberal Robin Carnahan for the US Senate seat.
Roy leads 57 to 37.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. ;)
The real question is who can beat Obama in 2012.
The answer is not "anyone." He will have a strong position as an incumbent.
Did any Republican improve their position for the nomination tonight?
Perhaps Rep. Ryan of Wisconsin, who will now have a more prominent and visible position.
Not Palin, whose Mamma Grizzlies had a very spotty record, and who will look less relevant now that the election is over.
So, a bit of a plus for Ryan.
A bit of a minus for Palin.
Neutral for everyone else.
Watch Rubio and Martinez (of New Mexico,)
The Republicans have to do better among hispanics. These two will plan a role.
No more rich female former CEO's. That did not seem to work, eh.
California's pretty much fucked six ways to Sunday, isn't it?
This election means two things for California:
1. It is now more likely to end up needing a federal bailout, and
2. It is less likely to find Congress receptive to that idea.
Fucking Democrats and Democrat Hispanic idiot voters. Mexico, we welcome you and your influence! Welcome our new illegal rulers!
Hmm - WRAL is how calling NC district 2 for Ellmers over Bob "Who are yew?" Etheridge - fascinating, if that holds up. One less drunken commie democrat stooge in the house is always a good thing.
WV: exembeam - the once and future governor of California.
Johnson is in charge of EVERYTHING now. Including the federal deficit and the Obamacare, which motivated him to running.
Can't wait to keep him accountable.
Did he say he HATES Wisconsin farmers [and Wisconsinites????} in his acceptance speech? Is Ron Johnson anti Wisconsin? Is Ron Johnson even from Wisconsin? Guess we'll find that out in the next 6 yrs. I'll be there to raise "the questions". I'm not "saying", I'm just "ASKING!".

I want to see the paperwork that turned it from an unorganized territory into a state. And don't give me any of the short-form shit, either. Long-form or nothing at all.
It's probably secretly a Muslim territory of Kenya.
@Prof. Althouse
Kicking around Senators isn't as fun as it sounds. They have security details and whatnot (just ask Jack Bauer). I think many Libs will be glad Angle lost but not happy Reid won.
Reading further, republicans took control of both houses of the NC legislature. That's the first time that has happened in a long time or maybe forever. Time to redistrict and gerrymander the democrats into their natural habitats - urine-soaked crime-ridden ghettos and Chapel Hill, but I repeat myself.
Our democrat governor Bev "I just look like the Joker, I'm really not that smart" Perdue is in for a rough couple of years I hope.
Aw, come on, Boehner was kinda cute.
I never saw Pelosi coming.
A couple months is all Ron Johnson said he needed. If not he is A LIAR.
We shall see.
Looking at the Governor races (because I'm waiting on a compile, so I'm bored), I see some surprises.
1. Connecticut has Republican Tom Foley in the lead.
2. Florida is within 60,000, too close to call.
3. Illinois is within 8,000, WAY too close to call.
4. Maine is within 4,000, even closer.
5. Minnesota is within 25,000. (Looking at the numbers, that seems to me to be large enough to call for Democrat Mark Dayton, but CBS hasn't yet.)
6. Oregon is within 15,000.
7. Vermont is within 4,000.
That's 7 close races, with the GOP in the lead on a couple of them. This could end up with 30 GOP governors, each with at least one eye on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
@Chase,
I'm not sure I understand. Would a different result changed things?
Funny that despite all the political shifts tonite, the most important and significant near-term decisions are going to be made by Ben Bernanke & Team... and nobody is voting for them, nor voting on whether America ought to proceed full-force with debasing its currency.
After looking at tonite's results, Bernanke probably ordered the printing presses to start running 24/7, and for the helicopters to get all gassed-up and ready to go. Gotta get that cash out there before the Republican Congresspeople take their seats and realize that they have the power to ask him tough questions.
If Obama can no longer get the votes for stimulus, he will have to rely on Bernanke to proceed with STEALTH STIMULUS. It don't need no votes and it don't appear on the main government balance sheet.
It was said the only person in Nevada in the Republican Party who could have lost to Harry Reid - was the hapless Sharron Angle. (Who reminded me of Kathleen Blanco in Louisiana after the Katrina disaster. Really "off")
You can credit the Tea Party for moderates like Scott Brown and right of center candidates like Rand Paul - but when zealot dolts in Nevada, Alaska, and Delaware picked unqualified Palin-sanctioned Hard Right firebreathers? You saw giveaways of Nevada and Delaware seat the Republicans had in the bag. And in Alaska, just how far out of step the extremist "True Believers" in the Palin Cult and other manifestations of right wing purity were with the average voter.
Funny that despite all the political shifts tonite, the most important and significant near-term decisions are going to be made by Ben Bernanke & Team.
Haha Nice try, Dead Man. The most important decision facing American voters was electing Republican congresspeople, or not. The question is, when are you going to start holding them accountable? I didn't hear anything about a "grace period" from our new Ayn Rand Overlords. so I assume that starts today. No time like the present!

4.) California's pretty much fucked six ways to Sunday, isn't it?
Yep, and so are the auto and aftermarket manufacturers.
Californians bought 1.5 million new cars a year or about 10% of the new car market until unemployment hit 12%.
That's gonna leave a mark in other states.
Wonder what Alan "Short Bus" Grayson will go on to, now that his spot on the driver's side passenger seat in Pelosi's congressional clown funnycar -- which the flatscans at both DailyKos and Democratic Underground battled desperately for, with multiple fundraising threads and "moneybombs" at both asylums on his squat, squalid behalf over the past few months -- has been well and deservedly lost?
Can't imagine there's any real call out there in today's Obama-pinched job market for anyone whose sole qualification is bearing an uncanny physical resemblance to Kenneth Grahame's "Mr. Toad."
I'm not sure Michigan still counts as a blue state. 9 of our 15 House seats will now be held by Republicans, and the Republican candidate for Governor just got 59% of the vote.
Of course, our Senators are both still true blue. And what really counts is electoral votes. But when I look at tonight's House map, Michigan looks mighty red.

It's a Boehner Market now. If it's not a Boehner Market, Republicans would not have run, and people would not have voted for the Boehner Relief Package. We should see some results, within a few months I should think. I hope you're seriously not suggesting that this takes something on the magnitude of 1-2 yrs or something. That would be whack.

I used to think so to. Still . . .
Ah hell . . . I'm upset too, but only about California and Nevada. Garage is upset about the whole damn country not going his way. Give the man some room.

I'm a very pessimistic person by nature, so I thought that the MSM would hold down the GOP win to +35 or so. But I'm now predicting the following:
* The GOP House and the Republicans in the Senate will hold fast to Tea Party economic principles
* Obama/Reid will double-down on their leftist, socialist agenda
2012 will be another +20 House and +8 in the Senate and the Presidency.
It shall be as I have foreseen.

Obama is responsible for Bush's budget, and blamed for it, [the 1.4 trillion mess he inherited]. Why should Republicans escape ownership? They are the cocksuckers that gave it him!

When a budget ends 8 months into your first term, it's not your budget.

Either you people are desperately hoping that somehow he is redeemable or you are morons. He's first and foremost and idiot. The next thing he is, is garbage.

Alex, you're a cruel person. You have to know that your new icon is going to push some on the left even further into the Pit of Despair.
God it's going to be so much fun to see Shitmo/Garage/AL/Dead Julius/victoria all implode on November 6th, 2012 when the GOP completes it's total sweep of government. President Elect Palin would be a cherry on top, but not necessary!
Maybe Moonbeam'll pull a surprise out of his ass, though?
As someone who was around Moonbeam's first two terms as governor, 3 tries for the Presidency and one try for the Senate, all the way through his Attorney general days and Mayor of Oakland disaster days, listen to what I'm telling you:
Jerry Brown has not learned a damn thing.
The idiot liberals who voted for him don't really care though. The important things in California to liberals:
1. Complete sexual license and freedom above all other values, including fiscal responsibility.
2. Every possible benefit for illegal aliens (mostly supported by legal immigrants who don't have the balls to tell their illegal relatives to go back home and sure as hell won't let anybody else tell them to). That's the key to the Hispanic no-respect-for-the-rule-of-law, how's-that-working-for-your buddies-in-Mexico vote. President.
These are the people now controlling both houses of the California Congress AND the governorship. AND, with the passage by the idiots referenced above of PROP 25 which allows the state budget to pass by a simpke majority now instead of 2/3rds vote, the state will go bankrupt next year.
Bookmark this and see the date I told you so when it happens.

Maybe Moonbeam'll pull a surprise out of his ass, though?
Bullshit, he's a liar, an admitted liar and continues to lie and will lie again. The only leftard enclaves that voted for this buffoon are LA and bayside Norcal. The rest of California told him to go fuck off.

Posted yesterday, on another thread:
Just a scant thirty-six hours from now, you're going to have inarguable, "real time" evidence, re: the overall electoral efficacy -- or, rather, the demonstrable lack of same -- inherent in still attempting to secure national office by metronomically squawking BUSHBUSHBUSHBUSHBUSH at the voters, like so many stunned, Tourette-afflicted parrots.
Take notes.
Think there's a good sixty, seven soon-to-be-former Dem congresscritters who'd give damned near anything, right about now, to be able to go back in time and morph their respective reelection strategies into smarter, more patently effective ones? I do.
"seven" = seventy
I think at this point all the leftards on this blog should collectively rename themselves to butthurt.
When a budget ends 8 months into your first term, it's not your budget.
Protip: when you add billions to the deficit of the FY budget that you "inherited," yes you do.
I know you want to pretend that all $700 billion of TARP belongs to Bush, but that ignores the reality that Bush only signed off on $350 billion of it. The second half needed Obama's signature. So he owns that much outright.
And let's not forget that a large portion of the Porkulus went into FY2009 as well. Obama owns that as well.
Oh yeah...and who voted for the FY2009 budget as a senator? Obama did. So yeah, he owns that too.
Any other lies you'd like to tell?
MSNBC is hilarious. They're near meltdown.
On Twitter I saw them called PMSNBC. Perfect!! It's how I'll think of them from now on.
What the **** is the matter with Meg Whitman? She's within a few points, less than half of the votes are in, and she just conceded. That's nuts. I hate it when Republicans concede early. Look at how Al Franken won his Senate seat, or at the Rossi/Gregoire race in Washington in 2004. Close races can be won through sheer tenacity.
That song, Mississippi was released by Dylan on exactly September 11, 2001.
Thanks for those lyrics. He really is a great poet.
I think at this point all the leftards on this blog should collectively rename themselves to butthurt.
The sniveling and wailing and dramatic rending of garments taking place right now all over such notorious online cesspits as Democratic Underground, Daily Kos, etcetera is top-notch entertainment.
"We lost Alan 'Grendel' Grayson! WAAAAAAAAAHHH -- !!!"
"The congressional gavel has been unjustly wrenched from Nancy's sweet, sweet talon! AAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEE -- !!!"
"I WANNA MOVE TO CANADA! MOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE -- !!!"
Really, it'd take a heart of stone not to laugh.
AND, with the passage by the idiots referenced above of PROP 25 which allows the state budget to pass by a simpke majority now instead of 2/3rds vote, the state will go bankrupt next year.
Don't be too sure. Before, to balance the budget you needed a 2/3 majority to raise taxes and a 2/3 majority to cut spending. So neither ever happened.
Now you need a 2/3 majority to raise taxes and a 50% majority to cut spending. I can see getting 50% to sign on to spending reductions.
We'll still probably go bankrupt, but I think the situation looks better than it did yesterday.

I don't understand the need to concede myself. She should have waited until every vote was counted and qualified. Outside of that, it's party time. It's like if the Rangers not even bothering to show for game 4. It's stupid and I don't know why politico's do it in such tight, close races.
It surpassed the Republican sweep in 1994, when President Bill Clinton's Democrats lost 54 House seats, and was the biggest shift in power since Democrats lost 75 House seats in 1948.
Just a little somethin' for our resident leftards to disconsolately suck on overnight, is all.

That would be a halfway decent argument if Obama hadn't, you know... voted for it.

Re: San Francisco banning Happy Meals, here's a quote from the LA Times article:
"We're part of a movement that is moving forward an agenda of food justice," said Supervisor Eric Mar, who sponsored the measure. "From San Francisco to New York City, the epidemic of childhood obesity in this country is making our kids sick, particularly kids from low income neighborhoods, at an alarming rate. It's a survival issue and a day-to-day issue."
"Food justice'?!?! Get outta here, you clown!
A whole bunch of states flipped their legislatures to (R), just in time for redistricting. And California? Just took Congressional redistricting away from the Ds in its legislature and handed it over over to their independent commission.
So the Democrats are going to be entering 2012's House election with a bunch of states newly stacked against them and California freshly unstacked to their disadvantage.
Looks like Charlie Cook called it. 58 in the House, 6 (maybe 7, recount in CO possible) in the Senate. Lots of state houses. Could have been better, but, as Johnny Hooker observed, "It's not enough, but it'll do".
And to our Lefties, looking for a metaphor, Aesop said it best:
Sour Grapes.
PS Looks like Angle is filing some challenges. Good for her.
NC district 2 is still close, but so far, not close enough to allow Etheridge to demand a recount. I hope that margin holds up.
The state legislature is under Republican control for the first time since 1870, according to some accounts. Does this count as Reconstruction.2?

How is it that Feingold lost, but Reid and Boxer survived? The redone face of the Democratic Party is pretty ugly.
Well, I still am proud of his vote against the PATRIOT Act. Any act that is an acronym deserves scorn.
They said on the radio that Wisconsin was the only state that switched State Legislatures, Senate and Governor from R to D.
Beware to Republicans who celebrate too much. To quote a former President: It's the Economy, Stupid. That is what drove (IMO) the sloshing independent voters who go one way then the next. I'd say 1/3rd of the US is solidly against Obamacare, 1/4th is solidly for it, and the rest is unsure, but would really like a better economy.
$40M spent on the CO Senate race. Yikes!
You know, I don't watch much TV anymore. I can't remember the last time I had Fox News on and I guess it has been some years since I've watched MSNBC. So I'm behind on how wacky that has become.
Last night I tuned in and checked the cable newsies and was reminded why I don't watch. Too much babbling and too little reporting. Anyway, this morning I see this clip from HotAir.
Note the open laughter by the MSNBC panel during the interview.
I don't know amything about Bachman, except libs hate her. I had no idea what Matthews was talking about when he tells her repeatedly what her agenda is (Matthews: "Your agenda, which is to investigate everyone for everything.")
So I tried to find out what he's talking about and according to Wikipedia here's the quote (10-17-08):
Matthews: "How many Congresspeople, members of Congress fit into that Anti-American crowd you describe?"
Bachmann: "You'd have to ask them Chris, I'm focusing on Barack Obama and the people he's associated with".
Matthews: "But he's a Senator from the State of Illinois, he's one of the members of Congress you suspect of being anti-American. How many people in the Congress of the United States do you think are anti-American. You've already suspected Barack Obama, is he alone or are there others?"
Bachmann: "What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look...I wish they would...I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out are they pro-America, or anti-America. I think people would love to see an expose like that."
So from that exchange Matthews has gone to 'Bachman wants to investigate everyone for everything.' That clip is really childish and lame.
Fox News is like this too? They have panelists giggling in the background when libs are interviewed? Somehow I doubt it.
/shrug
You might have missed the exchange last night when Bachman asked Matthews if his leg wasn't feeling quite so tingly on national television. Priceless.
The feeling that Matthews' is getting down his leg at the moment, is pee.
Is that...all there is?

People are no more going to blame House Republicans for a bad economy in 2012 than they blamed House and Senate Democrats in 2008 or 1992. The president is the lightning rod.
And if things are good? The Republicans will be hurt a little bit in 2012, but not any more than they were in '96, when they retained Congress.
Madison Man: It was the economy, but that alone would not have made the difference. The difference was that in the teeth of the horrible economy a number of very expensive, enormously expensive, programs were foisted on a people who know a lot more about budgets, real budgets, than does Congress. Add in smugness and self righteousness and the occasional "we won, deal with it" and you have last night. The people were begging, literally begging, the politicians to listen to them about health care and cap and trade and the stimulus and they were told to shut the fuck up. All three of those things are part of "the economy, stupid."

MSNBC brought back the great NBC tradition of comedy last night. Bravo.
On MSNBC, Lawrence O’Donnell, who actually worked in politics for decades, attempted to explain to Keith Olbermann that just because Keith likes Russ Feingold and Republicans spent a lot of money to defeat him, one should attempt to figure out what collection of issues it was that did Feingold in. “When did Feingold ever turn his back on Wisconsin?” Olbermann demanded. And across O’Donnell’s face there came a look of complete and utter realization — that the man to whom he was speaking lives not on this earth but rather in Cloud Cuckoo Land.
Heh-heh-heh. ;)
