Sarah Palin: Where's the Oil in our National Energy Policy?

NY23...as you know...wasn't a standard election and something tells me a solid Dem defeat in 2010 will bring more of your denials.

Denial ain't a river in Egypt, Pogue. However, I'll not be the one that nudges you awake, again, history repeats itself and you all thought the 1993 Governor's race in Va didn't mean anything either. 1994 an historic and landmark election, can 2010 be another?

Denials such as yours say yes.

You're right NY23 wasn't standard the republicans lost a seat they had held solidly since the Civil war. A seat Dems several times didn't even put a candidate. A seat where the dem got blown out even when a third candidate was on the ballot and yet they won it. As opposed to a seat that has been held by the same guy for decades NY23 has been held by multiple republicans for decades with very few democrats coming close.

I've tracked elections for quite a while now and pay attention to the raw data as opposed to wild speculation. 1994 was supposed to also bring the decades long rule of republicans. You remember that right? The democrats would be pushed into the wilderness for decades. What exactly happened there?

Remind me what happened to George Allen again?

Virginia has picked a governor from the opposing party of the sitting President every election since 1977.

Jim Webb happened to George Allen. Webb now one of the Senators calling for a pause on health care, also one of the Senators taking issue with Obama bringing Gitmo detainees to the US. Meaning, he's reading the leaves you libs ain't even aware of.

And if NY23 is your barometer, it's your choice. Denial works in mysterious ways, I guess we'll just have to wait until Nov to find out, a mere 9 months away.
 
Quite an achievement, being in denial of an event that hasn't even happened yet.

Three events just did, and history does repeat itself. I cannot understand the Dems not understanding what just happened in Massachusetts and the fact that the same polls that predicted their defeat there and in Virginia and New Jersey saying the exact same thing....and they don't get it.

No George Allen happened to George Allen. He made a stupid comment that ruined his career. Jim Webb was an underfunded insurgent candidate that the democratic party didnt support until Allen's gaffe. Allen was once considered to be a candidate for presidentl I'm not a "lib" no matter how much you try to paint everyone who disagrees with your amatuer reading of history. No using your logic NY23 should show things are swinging the other way. The point is special elections are no indicator of which way the wind is blowing. Yes the democrats will lose seats just as what happened to every presidents party during midterms.

Shhhh, let the arrogant liberals believe what they want and remain in denial.

You are absolutely correct, special elections are no indicator of which way the wind is blowing.

The American people don't care about the 10% unemployment and 3 trillion that will be added to the debt in just two years of the Obama Administration.

The American people aren't paying attention that a Canadian Premier is leaving that utopian Canadian healthcare system to come here for treatment.

The American people aren't paying any attention to the 3.8 trillion dollar budget that Obama is proposing of which over 700 billion is for defense spending, you know to fund the war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The American people aren't paying any attention to the fact that the Democrats control both houses of Congress and that the Republicans are powerless to inact any legislation or to stop any Obama legislation yet it is the Republicans fault that the proposals of Obama are being rejected.

And of course the American people aren't paying attention to the fact that we had an election in 2008 yet believe that GW Bush is still in office and none of this is Obama's fault.
