You just voted out a Republican with a huge lead over his Democratic rival for a woman who's trailing by double digits in the Deleware Senate race.

Thanks, you just turned the DE Senate race from a slam-dunk for the GOP to a slam-dunk for the Democrats.

Keep up the hard work!

 

[dante]

Oh, and in the NH primary the *ONLY* GOP candidate that trails the Democratic choice was the tea bagger candidate....

And guess who just won.

Is NH going to be a pickup for the Democrats? Suddenly November is starting to look pretty good for the Dems.

 

[stevew]

fooking reeetaaaardss.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Take a look at CO. Judge ruled Tancredo can stay in the race, its a shoe in for dems unless he or maes drops out. I'm repeating myself, but I'm praying nightly to FSM for the TEAtards to run a third party candidate in 2012.

 

[dante]

FL, CO, NH, DE, NV, all relatively easy GOP wins that are at best toss-ups or at worst a shoe-in for the Democrats. Now we just need some tea baggers to start challenging Collins, Snowe and Graham and the Dems might get back to 60 relatively quickly...

Seems to me you all are looking at the short game. The far right machine is simply seeking to polarise further and in the longer term drag the middle further to the right.

This may mean they divide the tea-retardican vote now but they are probably more than happy to wait a few years till the whole lot have found a new even-further-right centre.

Also, just how stupid are these people? Jeebus.

 

[Jim Mac]

...and in NY: Tea Partier "dude" Carl Paladino wins the GOP Gov nomination! This is the guy who suggested that welfare recipients should be sent to "reeducation centers" (formerly known as "jails") to learn better hygiene. Awesome!

At least he did rattle off one catchy tag line that's bound to stick for his Democratic opponent - he coined the phrase "Status Cuomo".

Where the hell have you been?

But I agree, these teatards are merely pawns of another agenda *:cough: Koch Brother's* that has longer term goals beyond getting a few Cro-Magnon's that like to draw stick figure horsey's and people on rock walls with charcoal in office.

I kind of look at it in the similarly to Kirk Lazarus....with a few modifications,

Check it out. George W. Bush, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know John McCain, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. T-Rex arms. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Rush Limbaugh, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sarah Palin, 2008, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed...

We start going full retard, we going to be fugged one way or another.

She's aged well. Got to agree with her quote at the end. Indeed, why are you in the picture? Can't help but notice that every picture I've seen of her she looks like she got a surprise PIIHB.

I'd ask if both of you were joking, but I already know better....

I find this quite interesting and slightly terrifying.


A) is this the way of saying that the people are sick and tired of the status Quo ?
B) that republicans in there own party have lost faith in there own party but are not willing to go over to the democratic party.
C) Trying to find new ways to scare the independent voters away, which is ludacris because they carry a lot of weight. ( actually Both parties are guilty of this )
D) is this opening the Door to more independent Candidates ?


The November election is going to be very very interesting.

I don't know, I think they might have overplayed their hand here.

You have to take into account the crazification factor, explained here:

It's exacerbated in primary elections.

C) They don't care about this.
D) No. It's a two party system, and a few more crazies won't change that.

What's sad is that for Democrats, the "lunatic fringe" promised health care for all and getting out of Iraq. For the Republicans it's eliminating the FDA, Social Security and the Dept of Education.

One of those sounds a lot more crazy than the other...

I am a moderate Democrat and one of my moderate Conservative friends commented about the Delaware primary as well, ridiculing any charges of racism.

It reminds me of discussions I have had with real tea baggers about racism. I realized that most issues we generally agree with, like reducing our dependence on affirmative action, although we differ on the extent.

But I also realize that my viewpoints have been forged through years of interaction with minorities as well as whites, and I could express my opinion to almost anyone. I know my tea bagger friends would piss off A LOT of people if they stated how affirmative action is reverse racism.

That's the key for the Republicans and the Tea Party. Alaska and Utah has forced out their incumbent Republican senators for people more conservative, and I believe at least Utah will elect their Republican candidate (in Alaska, Lisa Murkowski is running as a write-in).

But for any more moderate state, it is a huge debacle already. Take Sharron Angle, who sounds like a total nut (but apparently Harry Reid is so unpopular, they are running neck-and-neck).

 

[sanjuro]

The other thing I want to say is what would have happened if McCain had won.

I suppose I would have continued to support the Democrats. It is hard to imagine a liberal version of the Tea Party.

 

[dante]

From politico:

WILMINGTON, Del. — A senior aide to Rep. Mike Castle told POLITICO the nine-term congressman will not be endorsing newly minted GOP Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell.

“She is a con artist who won by lying about Castle’s positions and her own life,” said Kate Dickens, a Castle aide. “Out of state support was enough to pull her through yesterday so she can rely on it through November.”

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

 

[Dartman]

To me giving control of the country over to the likes of O'Donnell is equal to handing it over to the Taliban.

Dear Jeebus, please save me from your followers.

"The reality of that statement is that if you don't legislate one morality then you are legislating somebody else's morality," she said. "So you can't get around legislating morality."

Looks like they are gonna have a three way (race) in Alaska.

Saying voters need “one Republican woman who won't quit on Alaska,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski announced Friday evening that she would wage a write-in campaign to retain her seat.
Murkowski, who was unexpectedly defeated in her Republican primary last month, made her announcement in Anchorage to the chants of supporters yelling, “Run, Lisa, Run.”
.....
While Murkowski was considering whether to run as a third-party candidate or via a write-in campaign, national Republican made every effort to deter her – likely out of fear that, like Taylor in the 1998 gubernatorial election, her candidacy would give Democrats an advantage in the general election.

THANK THE FSM!!!!! Since the teabagger ended up loosing NH, this at least might put AK back into play. Not sure how effective a write-in campaign is going to be though.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Some TEA bagger LOLZ for your reading enjoyment. FSM be praised.

And while Tancredo's third-party run may be what definitively ruined Republicans' chances in the race, Maes is still the one carrying the GOP banner, waving it futilely as his campaign nosedives.

 

[stevew]

be praised.

uh-oh

Rasmussen Reports has moved the Colorado Governor's race from its "Solid Democrat" category to "Leans Democrat" after its latest poll found American Constitution Party (ACP) candidate Tom Tancredo trailing Democrat John Hickenlooper by just 8 percent.

Tancredo, a former Republican congressman and presidential candidate, switched his party affiliation to run as the ACP nominee in late July. It was widely predicted at the time that Tancredo would split the conservative vote with Republican nominee Dan Maes, effectively handing the race to Hickenlooper.

However, Tancredo has benefited from Maes's missteps to steadily rise in the polls since his entry into the race.

A Rasmussen poll released on August 2 showed Hickenlooper capturing 42 percent of the vote to Maes's 27 percent and Tancredo's 24 percent.

Much of the Republican establishment has since abandoned Maes in the wake of a series of distractions involving the candidate's time as a Kansas police officer, among other issues.

Rasmussen's most recent poll, which was conducted on October 3, shows Hickenlooper beating Tancredo by just 8 points, 43-35. Maes's support, meanwhile has slipped to just 16 percent.

Tancredo has also walloped Maes in fundraising, although he still trails Hickenlooper's totals. Maes's inability to raise money has caused some to question whether he still has the cash to stay in the race.

Last week, Tancredo used Maes's own words to argue that the Republican should be excluded from debates because he is polling at under 20%.

A Denver Post-sponsored Survey USA poll released on Sunday showed Hickenlooper beating Tancredo 46-34 with Dan Maes at 15 percent. A Fox News/ Pulse Opinion Research Poll from last week also showed Hickenlooper with a similar double-digit lead of 44-34.
