Rahm Emanuel 2005 : Our gubernatorial wins in NJ and Virginia are huge

Heh. No doubt the RNC response was to insist that they were merely local races signifying nothing about the national mood.

But Rahm was right that time, wasn’t he?

[L]ooking back at First Read’s coverage the day after the 2005 New Jersey and Virginia contests, we had forgotten that Rahm Emanuel — then chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and now White House chief of staff — had called us to argue the very point Republicans are now making: that the two gubernatorial contests say something about the upcoming midterms.

Here’s what we wrote then:

Democratic House campaign committee chair Rahm Emanuel, calling First Read immediately after Kaine’s and Corzine’s victories were announced, argued that it’s clear Democratic voters were already energized earlier in the year when Democrat Paul Hackett nearly won a traditionally GOP-leaning Ohio House district. “I think that’s even more true today.”

He also pointed out that the mayors of Detroit, Cleveland, and St. Paul, MN were all losing. “A lot of incumbents are losing to change,” he said (although he neglected to mention that these three mayors are Democrats, though the one from St. Paul endorsed Bush last year).

Ping.

[La Lydia]

Better capture that one before it disappears down the Memory Hole.

[Rapscallion]

Deny defeat, lie about it as victory just like the commies in Russia used to do.

Good job Comrad!

[truthandlife]

This is rich...

“A lot of incumbents are losing to change,” he said...

*cough* *ahem* *cough*

" Pay no attention to all those people behind the curtain voting for nasty Republicans."

Devious Rahm would do anything to dupe voters: (1) in 2005 he had aethists running as fervent believers---(2) in 2008 he had Marxist Ohaha saying, "I want to be another Reagan."

THE FACTS ARE THESE: Ohaha was totally invested in the 2009 Va and NJ races. Fact is, the WH is sucking up valium and vodka in order to anesthetize themselves from the pain in the aftermath of the Republican rout.....trying to convince themselves the election was not a referendum on Obama.

Losing New Jersey was the tipping point---this was an election the WH could not afford to lose. The Corzine loss was a debacle for Ohaha.

Pulling out all the stops for Corzine made Ohaha a VERY good target for Americans disgusted with Ohaha’s policies. At the same time Dem Corzine’s corrupt governorship was also a huge negative.

HERE'S HOW DESPERATE THE OVOMITONS WERE TO WIN NJ Obama went to New Jersey three times---Biden was there twice.

The NY Times reported :

(a) every TV ad Corzine put on the air was being screened by Obama's WH team.

(b) Corzine's aides gave the WH daily briefings.

(c) Obama’s pollsters took over for Corzine’s polling team, and,

(d) White House operatives were on the ground for everything from internal strategy sessions to secret, obscure pep rallies with Latinoes, (still toweling off after swimming the Rio Grande).

Corzine had a "Peruvian PAC" endorsing him. Latino invaders from Ecuador, Mexico, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and Spain are currently "registered" to vote in NJ (or being trucked in election day) under several names.......all voting for Corzine under several identities. Ohaha’s Chicago buddies are experts in mfg the votes needed to win. Stashing piles of votes that “suddenly appear” in used pizza boxes.......... and scribbling “Vota Corzine” on Taco Bell wrappers.

Ohaha hid $17.5 BILLION stimulus in NJ---it disappeared and could not be found ----b/c the stimulus was intended for Corzine's reelection kitty.

NOTE The WH still has not spent 85% of the stim----buzz is Ohaha is saving it for Dem candidates 2010 elections.

AFTERMATH The White House is sucking up valium and vodka to anesthetize themselves. Rahm Enanuel's plieing like crazy. Mmm, mm, mmm....... I just can't wait to see the post-election Ohaha ........... smiling through his electoral castration. ROTFL.

Harken to the White House's frantic spinning...”the elections weren’t about us...except the one we won, that one's all about us, that one proves that the whole country loves us, and wants socialized medicine.”

(Snicker) Now we know why Harry Reid came out yesterday to lessen expectations that the healthcare mess would be voted on........the WH knew they were headed into a Republican storm.

The tsunami is ahead..........in 2010. Ohaha can say goodbye to trillion dollar healthcare "reform".......nothing more than a slush fund to redistribute the wealth to enrich his hand-picked Marxists.

According to White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, the President was busy with other matters last night and wasn't really concerned with election results.

Gibbs fatuous statement---that Ohaha was busy with other matters last night and wasn't really concerned with election results------underlines that the Ovomitons are on mood-altering drugs. No matter what catastrophe befalls them, Ohaha and the mob are grinning, glad-handing, quipping, smirking.....acting like nothing happened. Quaaludes sucked down w/ vodka is doing it for 'em.

I was thinking last night about Rahm. How can he be so incompetent and give such bad advice to Obama.

I read this article today called:
“Lessons Learned in VA, CA and NJ: Is Rahm Emanuel Orchestrating 2010 Democratic Massacre?”

dlaction.firedoglake.com/2009/11/04/lessons-learned-in-va-and-nj-is-rahm-emanuel-orchestrating-2010-democratic-massacre/

I really don’t understand what he is doing ..but the WH looks like a Clown Organization..and Dems don’t like Rahm.

[IrishPennant]

There’s a really good reason God does not allow us to prosper long when prosperity comes from LIES...This entire administration is built upon lies. Let’s hope it crumples quickly. Feels like it!!!

Fantastic post!

"I just can't wait to see the post-election Ohaha ........... smiling through his electoral castration. ROTFL."

Hay! He could turn white as a sheet from loss of blood, right? What a putz!!!

[BOBTHENAILER]

underlines that the Ovomitons are on mood-altering drugs. No matter what catastrophe befalls them, Ohaha and the mob are grinning, glad-handing, quipping, smirking.....acting like nothing happened. Quaaludes sucked down w/ vodka is doing it for 'em.

Wahoo----Liz Nails 'em. The Obamanistas are on the run, looking over their shoulders like a bunch of common thieves. Doin' the left foot, right foot shuffle and sayin' "Nossir Mr. Sheriff, I didn't see nothin'!!"

Yesterday was the earthquake.........the tsunami comes in 2010.

[GnuHere]

Wow, he would HATE that!

[thecraw]

This is great!

They can spin this all they want but the American people (at least those of us who think for ourselves) are not fooled.

It's sure comforting to know that the Nasty Pelosi's of this world are privately wringing their hands, gnashing their teeth and moaning over these losses. Love it!
