The Mid-Terms Results Thread [W:517]

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

A republican took the Massachussetts Governor's chair......




Okay. Who keeps thinking that having Martha Coakley run for political office is a good idea? Is there a way we can put that guy in charge of picking candidates for the DNC for life?

Just looked, haven't announced the repeal of the automatic gas tax increase. I'm soooo glad I don't live in that state anymore.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

My point is I wouldn't be jumping up and down talking about converting people to the Republican cause. Obama's ratings are in the tank, but so are Republicans. It just so happened on this night, a night where most of the electorate that votes democrat doesn't come out, hated Obama's policies more than Republicans. When's the last time the Republicans won the popular vote?

Granted but I feel a bit better knowing that people are actually seeing democrats in action, and they dont like it.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Even MSNBC is having to admit that.

It's only NIMBY who's like "It's a minuscule win, barely worth noting" :lol:



It is definitely a wave and a big one.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Welp, that didn't take long...

Ted Cruz just stated he thinks the same method of passing Obamacare (reconciliation) should be used to vote for repeal of Obamacare. He recognizes it'll likely be vetoed, but it was one of the top 2 or 3 issues that got republicans elected this time out and he feels it's their duty to at least make every attempt to repeal it.

I got nervous when he said "we have to deliver" now. I'm like, "Jesus Ted, don't set the stakes that high. At least stress that Obama is going to try to block your attempts."
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

I don't live in bankrupt California.....

And it's sad how liberals fawn over Harvard. Completely disconnected from the realities of the real world.

This sounds just so typical, somehow. Fawning over Harvard. Yeah, once it was great, but I'm struggling to think of what greatness has come from there in the last 20 years or so. But then, I'm really not a close watcher of such things.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

You know it's a Republican "Wave" when you hear Andrea Mitchell say it... Which she just did on the NBC's live internet broadcast as they pronounced Hagen's defeat in N.C.

I appreciate the sentiment. Red meat, TK.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Tell me who threatened the nuclear option before Frist/McConnell last decade.
I'm tired of being nice about this lying from people who deny they are Republicans.
Be honest Nimby, that war was going on from both side. It's not like the Senate was quick to take up any bills being sent over from the House...

No ****. She's gotta be the worst candidate for anything ever.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Me too. Im very worried that it isnt going to pass. It's actually the only reason I'm awake right now lol

Same here, it's very very close right now with 52.7% vs 47.3%. I'm hoping it passes but I'm still holding tight. It appears the no campaign had 3x the funding and had big pushes from Planned Parenthood.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Van Jones sickens me, I'd rather hear from anyone on MSNBC than that ... man.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Tonight was an absolute an utter ass kicking. I remember when some were saying the Republican Party was dead after 2008.

Oh hey how did the Wine thing go? My wife wants to know...
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

For real? What the hell do you expect Democrats to say? I have been saying it all night! Unbelievable!

I hear you. Been in that position myself. Honestly Juanita, I'm letting myself have a little fun tonight because, let's face it, we (GOP voters) haven't had much to celebrate the last couple years but I'm not going to say this spells the end of the Dems like how I heard in 2012 about the GOP. It's always a pendulum swing.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

What difference does it make?
Thurmond was a Democrat before he switched--so was current Senator Shelby .

You really will take a win no matter what wouldn't you. You realize that Crist was a Republican right?
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Surprised no one has come out on how absolutely atrocious the polls were. All seemed way off.

Yeah there was that talk.

I think it passed, but I did vote in support of it haha.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Republican Rauner will be the next Governor from Michigan! Michigan! WOW!

Michigan Lady P? Rauner has won the Governorship of Illinois. One of the Demos major Strongholds.

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Don't count on it. In the past 90 years, a Republican has only been in that office for eight of them. It's weird but the state votes nationally REpublican, but locally Democrat. I know my family is big in to local democrat politics, but wouldn't vote for a democratic president if they were the last one on earth.

Perhaps. Jack Conway has already declared and he is a strong candidate. Still, other states like that, Republican nationally and Democrat locally, have become more and more Republican locally. Many Southern states have just recently elected their first Republican legislatures since Reconstruction.

I'm curious to see how accurate Nate Silver was again.
