Discuss.

[FORD]

You might say he stomped his opposition

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Edited the title of the thread so there aren't 137 of them.... Keep them all in here....

[vanhalen1r2]

That is a good one, LOL

[FORD]

Looks like the Repukes technically picked up a Senate seat in Indiana. I say technically because Evan Bayh was never a Democrat anyway, nor was the guy they chose to run in his place.

All this teabag bullshit about hating incumbents and insiders isn't going to work here though. The "new" senator is Repuke Dan Coates, who went from Congress to lobbying and now back again.

Ding dong the witch is dead....

O'Donnell loses in Delaware....

[Nitro Express]

God. I was hoping you were going to say Nancy Pelosi died.

[FORD]

MSNBC calls Connecticut for Blumenthal over Vince Mc Mahon's wife. (replacing the bank industry whore Chris Dodd)

[Nitro Express]

*Sigh* I will bet real money O'Donnell will pull a Palin and go out on the Fox News/Tea Party circuit. Sarah has made millions, O'Donnell will want a piece of that action.

[FORD]

MSNBC projects Joe Manchin wins West Virginia. Robert Byrd's seat, so it remains "Democratic", but Manchin is FAR to the right of the late Mr. Byrd, unfortunately.

[FORD]

Boozer defeats Blanche WalMart in Arkansas. No surprise there. Another Repuke pickup of a "Democratic" seat that never voted Democratic. Shouldn't have let her get away with stealing the primary from Bill Halter.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Dem's Sestak and Onorato up early in my home state of PA....

Although I'm officially a VA resident since I retired....

[FORD]

Sure hope Sestak holds on to that lead. Toomey is such a piece of shit he could make you miss Santorum.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

And Palladino is history now....

[FORD]

Unfortunately so is Alan Grayson

Should have known an actual Democrat wouldn't last in a BCE-corrupted state like Florida.

Not like she's gonna be able to pay the rent otherwise, since there'll be no campaign contributions coming for a couple of years...

just to bitch

MSNBC is awful for watching coverage of the election

while I really respect Maddow, and find her one of the more smarter pundits out there. K.O., Matthews and O'Donnell are quite terrible, and I feel the conversation is quite one-sided. I have yet to hear a conservative/libetarian voice in the mixture, it just comes off as one big liberal circle jerk.

say what you will about Faux and rightfully so, they can be down right terrible at times, but at the very least they have your alan colmes, your bob beckels and token juan williams mixed in.

I'm not saying I expect complete non-partisian coverage from either network, but..at least throw a bone to the right/left.

[FORD]

Well since the dumb cunt was so concerned about the estate tax in her concession speech, I guess that means she has reason to believe she will still be on the Koch brothers payroll.

You didn't think it was funny when Tweety Matthews asked Batshit Bachmann if she was "hypnotized"

[Unchainme]

I felt it was a tad bit unprofessional actually. I did find it amusing, I think Palin either did some blow or took part in some prop 19 festivities from the looks of it! (Bachmann makes me CRINGE, her palin and o'donnel should be nowhere near political office), I just think it's overall as bad as O RLY doing similar things on Faux.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I'm surprised Gene Robinson hasn't fallen asleep yet, he's got 4 big talkers around him, he can barely get a word in....

I would counter that by saying Bachmann is the unprofessional one saying select Democrats should be given Joe McCarthy-like subpoenas for acting "Unamerican"....

And then of course, when Matthews asked her FOUR TIMES, she didn't say a word about it....

Look, Fox news is a network that is biased towards conservatives, through and through.

If MSNBC displays a liberal bias, so what?

Republicans have their channel devoted to their viewpoint. Just because their slogan is "fair and balanced" doesn't necessarily mean it's true...mostly because it isn't. I really have no problem with Fox being a mouthpiece for right wing propaganda, either. They should just admit it, rather than continue the charade. Same goes for MSNBC being slanted towards the democratic end of the spectrum.

He's already said he "might not support" Obama. As bad as he is, Raese is worse. Total lesser of two Appalachin evils there, and Raese was the one being endorsed by Palin.

I've seen conservative guests on Maddow's show and she is fair. She even told Ron Paul she respected him. She's the only one on that network who isn't a complete ass.

[Nitro Express]

I tune into Fox because they have the best looking women and to see if O'Riley is going to blow into a tirade and have a massive coronary on the air.

[Carloscda]

They had Cantor & Bachmann on earlier and when asked neither one of them could give a direct answer or solution to the questions that was asked?!

And how the hell does that ditz Bachmann keep getting re elected anyway???

The experts even said all that Pledge to America BS is nothing more than the same ole same ole!
Lets see what the people that put them in office have to say next yr when we're worst off than now!!

[vanhalen1r2]

God. I was hoping you were going to say Nancy Pelosi died.

+1 That would be music to my ears.

[Carloscda]

A person died music to your ears.... Nice

[sadaist]

So happy Alan Grayson lost. He is a douche bag. His career has "died quickly".

So bummed (call me Senator) Barbara Boxer won. Who the fuck keeps voting for this arrogant, elitist piece of shit?


Other than that, not too surprised. Was hoping spineless Harry Reid would lose, but did not expect it. Jerry Brown can thank Gloria Allred for his win. That people actually bought in to that whole Niki Diaz thing amazes me.

[Carloscda]

Whats up with Boehner crying and then you have Paladino at the end of his concession speech with a bat calling out Cuomo with a bat in his hand??!!

[FORD]

Horse Fucker Palamino knows his 15 minutes just expired, so he's milking it for all he can get.

As for the Orange crybaby..... well that should be a fair amount of comic relief over the next two years.

Fuck it... I need another Snow Cap

China will probably get rid of all these losers when they buy California cheap and make it a Chinese commonwealth.

"So although the outcome is wasn't we all worked so hard for ... we've got a lot of food and we've booked the room all night so let's party."

Christine O'Donnell's remark tonight regarding her losing the election.

[FORD]

Alan Grayson and Russ Feingold were great Americans and TRUE Democrats. It's a goddamn shame to see them go down while the likes of spineless Harry survive. They GOD DAMN well better get new Senate leadership and ditch that fucking useless unconstitutional 60 vote bullshit.

I was hoping Feingold would be the new Majority Leader. Guess not

[Seshmeister]

Ding dong the witch is dead....

O'Donnell loses in Delaware....

Good news for Delaware, shitty news for comedians and broomstick makers everywhere else.

[FORD]

Yeah, you know Bill Maher is gonna be devastated over this loss. Chrissy has given him half his jokes on Real Time for the last two months.

[Seshmeister]

I liked his line along the lines of 'for those progressive people who are fed up with the Democrats, I hate my cell phone provider but I don't then rub shit into my teeth.'

There are a hell of a lot of worried people here now who did the backlash vote to the right because they were pissed with the government who was there when the credit crunch hit and are now going to be unemployed...permanently

[Nitro Express]

I think if she won, O'Donnell's weak mind and lust for drinks, food, and parties would be exploited by Washington lobbyists in quick order.

[Nitro Express]

The Democrats got the majority because people were sick of the Republicans. The swing vote went to the Democrats. Now the Democrats have fucked up and the pendulum is swinging right again.
