I worked and lived in New Jersey last year.

Corzine didn't do the state any favors.

No one could save him, not even Messiah Obama

I don't know anything about Virginia except that it's been traditionally a Bible Thumping southern Republican state. The fact Democrats managed to wrest some control away for a while was a surprise anyway so not surprised the religious swept in a fresh set of Republicans in all three seats there.


Upstate New Yorkers finally woke up and threw Republicans to the curb after over a 100 years.

Republicans pretty much cleaning up in local elections on Long Island. Voter turnout much lower than expected.

Some douche running on conservative line in Nassau County cost us chance to remove Suozzi. Still absentee ballots and probably a recount. One can only hope Suozzi will crash and burn.

This was a sweeping rebuke of Obama's radical federal socialist agenda.

Wait a minute...which party just gained more federal power...

While you may have not voted against the dem candidate in NJ as an opposing bho vote, their are a substantial number of idiots whom vote solely by the letter in front of their name and such a loss in a normally heavily dem controlled area does have meaning as such. Just to show how much it means, the moment the clock struck midnite on election eve and nothing was left to be done except cast the ballots, the administration already started sending out the "these results don't mean anything" with many hours before polls even closed.



As for VA; regardless of how bad deeds ran his campaign (I believe he went into the primary expected to end up third and somehow won), the reason the repubs swept up so much was due to the abysmal job done by the now head of the dnc. Hopefully his masterful work at the state level will carry forward. I mean, who wouldn't like to hear a plan for infrastructure repair that goes something like "on a scale of 1-10, virginia only pays a 3 on gas and income tax, why should we be paying at least 5 if not more". Warner gave you a gift wrapped seat you dumbass, hopefully your shitty service will see dems locked out for a couple of elections as a lesson.

Bullshit! Obama campaigned for this guy until the end and he still lost. It speaks volumes about Obama and his socialistic agenda being rejected by the people. What is even more sad is you idiots who voted for Obama could not see this. His past associations and utter lack of experience made no difference to these liberal posters on this board who were so blinded by the messiah's charisma. You all are just plain too stupid to see Obama is and will be a failure.

Obviously you don't live in NJ and two your a fvcking moron. Corzine hasn't seen even a 45% favorable rating in years. Obama carried our state by 16 points in Nov 08. At that same time Corzine had a favorable rating of only 42%. Even in areas where he was considered "liked" he was less than 50% still. If anything Obama's popularity showed in this election. Corzine was down 15-20 points all year. For him to lose by only 4 points showed one thing, Obama still has the power in this state, just not enough to carry a very unpopular governor. I am born, raised, and have lived my entire life in NJ. Corzine sucked and after the McGreevey debacle we just had enough. Give someone else a chance is all that this was about, not Obama.

Interesting take on the maine vote from cnn. Of the handful of states that have same sex marriage law, they were all added by the legislature or through executive means. Every time the option to do so, or the legislative law continuance was put before the populace as a vote, it has been turned down/repelled.

So much for this great cresting wave prophecies we've heard here as on the verge of occurring.

It appears that the Independents are turning on the Democrats. Time to dust off a tried and true political catch phrase ---> "It's the economy stupid." Worked last time...will probably work again.

MSNBC achieves a state of denial, ignores the election results coming in, and instead launches into an attack against (Moderate Independent) Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut. Who is not running for anything.

Now they are attacking Glen Beck. Who is also not running for anything.

We are waiting for the expected attack on Bill O'Reilly. Who is also not running for anything.

Olbermann is wildly lashing out at everyone Republican but fails to mention election results even one time in the last 20 minutes.

So, beating a candidate that ran a horrible campaign in VA and an incumbent that no one liked in NJ is a repudiation of all things liberal? Ok. Keep thinking that. :)

:confused: 2009-1993= "over a 100 years"?

Must be that new liberal math...

It has nothing to do with liberals.. it had to do with what the news outlets were reporting you hack.

It may be wrong, but you can't blame a political ideology because of poorly reported news on major networks.

Besides, in reality, republicans haven't lost the district since 1357!
