Just a hint of what's to come!!!


Well, well, well!  Wasn't yesterday just a delight for republicans all around.  Chris Christie defeated Corzine by 4 percentage points — the largest victory by a New Jersey Republican in nearly a quarter-century.

LOL...this happened just 9 months after Obama won the presidency.  Obama spent alot of time campaigning for Corzine in NJ and in VA for Deeds.

Politico stated:
The off-year elections were, in two big races, an unmistakable rebuke of Democrats, reshuffling Obama’s political circumstances in ways likely to have severe near-term consequences for his policy agenda and larger governing strategy.
And lets not forget McDonnel in VA.  I seriously have to quote Politico again because I don't believe I could do him justice! 
Quote Politico: state Sen. Creigh Deeds in Virginia, who was clubbed like a harp seal in his 17-percentage-point loss to GOP nominee Bob McDonnell.

 LOL I couldn't stop laughing after I read that.  The best part of all of this is that these guys won big, and the exit polls showed  Republican McDonnell won 63 percent of independent voters. Likewise in Democratic-trending Northern Virginia, the Republican carried the three largest suburban counties of Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William — all counties Obama won handily last year.  In New Jersey, likewise, Christie won 58 percent of independents.

“This is a shot across the bow to the moderates and Blue Dog Democrats as they decide votes on health care” and other issues, said Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the House minority whip. “It’s a wake-up call for Democrats across the country,” said Wilder, who did not endorse Deeds.

He said independents are worried about what they see as careless spending by Obama and his Democratic allies in Washington, and he advised Obama to reorganize his White House to rely less on campaign operatives and focus more on governing.

I was saddened to see that the "Conservative Candidate" Doug Hoffman lost in this race but we did win 2 races. At the same time we lost 2 races. My state is clearly Liberal and I hate it. Maybe I need to move.
