You can tell that the White House isn't expecting such a great election day -- Democrats are down in recent polls in the governor's races in both Virginia and New Jersey -- both by how much officials are insisting the outcomes have no relevance to the President and how much they're trying to change focus to the conservative in-fighting in the special election for an upstate New York congressional seat.
The White House is setting the stage for a bad day tomorrow, pre-spinning any losses as irrelevant.
On Friday White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said, “Whatever the results are, I don't think they portend a lot in dealing with the future.”
“The president has gone into these races, has raised money for candidates, Democratic campaign committees have raised money. So, to say that these contests are irrelevant is kind of whistling past the graveyard,” Stuart Rothenberg of the Rothenberg Political Report told ABC News.

This administration is uniformly made of whiney, spiteful crybabies. I cannot remember an other administration so hateful and incompetent.
The only “audience” that really, really matters are all of the members of Congress.
They will not fall for any spin, I don’t think.
Yeah,we’re all bawling our eyes out here in VA..NOT!!!!
Go Bob!
He went there yesterday and his approval disapproval rating went down two more points.
Awww cmon Barack, have you no confidence in your election fraud machine coming through for you?
Ping
Can you spell bellwether ?
Their best shot is in Maine. Let’s hope their GOTV effort can macth the very strong ground game the gays reportedly have deployed to Portland.
The only ones who seem to be believing that is the Congressional Democrats.
I’ll wait and see how it all plays out tomorrow. However, right now I’m enjoying this bit of risk avoidance on the part of 0’s administration.
Hmmm, wonder what he really means by that?
Right. If voters go GOP in NJ and VA, then the Reps, who value their own re-election above all else, will not line up behind BHO for the firing squad.
Tomorrow is very important.
It's pretty arrogant to act as if the future is set and that you know what's coming, like you have so much control in controlling what's going to happen.
Conversely, the big action in New York’s 23 accelerated big time when a certain former gov. and VP-candidate put her suport behind the onservative cadidate. And she didn’t spend one thin dime of taxpayer money to do it - she did it on Facebook, not multiple stump visits for flailiang and failing Dem candidates. Take that, Lefties!
And she first took on her own party, repeating what she’s done in Alaska. Take that Rino’s!
They must be hoping for a win some where so they can claim the election results “were better then expected”.
It must be really bad if it’s beyond their ability to steal these elections. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had confidence in our electoral process? I believe that wherever there’s a Dimorat, there’s fraud.
Maybe by the time 2010 rolls around, they will have that kind of control.....
That no matter what we peon's say, their faith in Dear Reader remains ever strong and they will lemming like follow him off the electoral cliff no matter what the results Tuesday.
Just remember...
It’s only a disappointing election day if the MSM chooses to cover it as such.
So the RATS can shove their spin where the sun don't shine. We'll see if the MSM even pretends to be fair. Rothenberg's quote is encouraging.
Get out the vote... especially N.J.
If that state re-elects Whorezine the entire nation will laugh and expect the Jersey Jokes to live on forever.
Jake Tapper at ABC has been steadfast in being a journalist and not an Obama handmaiden. Of all the networks, ABC has been the most responsible.
These journalists are learning that BO is an Empty Suit, and that if they want to salvage any shred of professional integrity, they had better wake up.
Or Bedwetter? Sounds like the liberals are getting “ All WeWe’ed up!”
I think that significant fact is lost on most people even the likes of Hannity and BillO. Unlike Newt and Huck, she wasn't afraid to buck the RINO establishment and she was proven 110% right by Scuzzy's subsequent behavior.
Anything Sarah lacks in "experience" she makes up in integrity.
ugh...please forgive my spelling, should have checked better before posting...got too excited.
What are the odds that Americans win in all three?
Communists, terrorist sympathizers and anarchists tend to be the most hateful people that one will ever encounter.
He was "Pookied".
Mine certainly won’t if I have anything to say about it. That reminds me, it’s about time for him to receive another e-mail from this constituent.
GMTA! Or is it W(arped)MTA?
Spin, spin, spin.
I heart Jake Tapper.
Can’t wait for Wednesday if the Dims lose the big 3 races.
It’s not that “moderates” are not welcome, but they need to learn that their days of calling the shots and being the public face of the R party are over. Unless we want to continue to lose elections...
They’re not “moderates”, they’re elitists of the same ilk as democRat elitists.
And the corrupt SRM is trying to down play it now. Only one problem the Griz is out of the bag as they would say. We all know Sarah kicked the door in for Hoffman. A certain mount of satisfaction goes along with this fact despite the ignorant SRM snub.
Why I thought Disappointment was the liberal meaning for Change!
Dems will not loose NJ... Already the Dems there are cheating from what I have heard on Glenn Beck radio... The absentee ballots are larger than usually & the Dems have asked the Sec of State of NJ not to match signatures on the ballots... but just the addresses.
HEY BLUE DOGS!!! YOU ARE FOLLOWING PELOSI, REID AND FAUXBAMA OVER A CLIFF!!!! This is your warning, wake up or be gone.
RINO’s, SAME THING!
2010 Is going to be a SLAUGHTER. Dems will look fondly on 1994 as a great night for them after 2010 is done. The so called “moderate” republicans are going to be decimated as well in primaries.
Enough is enough, if you stand for socialism, or do not stand against it.. you will be gone unless you are from the bluest of blue districts.
Agreed, moderates will have a place in the party, but they won’t be the ones steering the ship.
Tomorrow will just be a taste of the political thrashing these liberal low lives are gonna get in 2010. I can’t wait. God Bless America!
Didn't Brian Williams have a hamburger with Obama?
Was it a cheeseburger? With Bacon?
I really admire Brian Williams. A real pitt bull. A relentless a$$ kisser till he gets a Burger on the Taxpayers dime.
Truer words were never spoken FRiend...
Under normal circumstances, he and Michelle would be fist bumping themselves into a coma. But they never figured they'd even need voter fraud on election day. They'd sewed up a Dem vote no matter who won. Owens or Scozzafava, who cares? Actually Scozza would have been better, as they could claim "bipartisanship." Hoffman was the wild card they hadn't planned on, and it all came crashing down too late and with too much national attention to mobilize sufficient backup ballots now.
NJ, on the other hand...They don't need to manufacture or mobilize anything on the QT there. Everything's in place for that crap. It'll be no more trouble to orchestrate the Corzine win than placing a pizza order. With on-time delivery a lot more reliable.
“Whatever the results are, I don’t think they portend a lot in dealing with the future.”
...think again ass-weep-ay!
