Democrats expect such a depressing Election Night that Chris Matthews's office windows were reportedly nailed shut to keep him from leaping off.
The political climate is so miserable for Democrats that Republicans are leading in CNN polls. In a shocking break with CNN tradition, the GOP's double-digit lead wasn't called "too close to call."
For months, the Democrats' legions of opposition research teams -- officially known as "The Media" -- have worked themselves into a frenzy, cooking up one fake "GOP scandal" after another, the corrupt bastages. All to no avail.
The idiotic push to find "evidence" of Republican candidates cheating on their wives, molesting children -- in other words, behaving like Democrats -- proved such an epic failure, frustrated "reporters" for Alaska's KTVA ended up nailing themselves. In a recorded phone call to the Joe Miller campaign, they were heard conspiring to fabricate stories about Miller, but the tech wizards apparently forgot how to hang up a cell phone.
KTVA general honcho Jerry Bever tried to quell the controversy by confirming the recording was authentic, then claiming "the Miller campaign's analysis of the recording is incorrect in many material ways!" Husband caught cheating tells wife, Honey, your analysis of this is incorrect in sooooo many material ways -- honest!"
KTVA is now so completely discredited, Dan Rather swiftly put in a job application.
Libbies are busy disastrously working through the various stages of grief, beginning in denial (everything's honky dory -- CBS tells me so!) and ending in "acceptance," but the "acceptance" consists of thinking that a shellacking Tuesday is honky dory news for Obama. Getting creamed at the ballot box will be AWESOME! Just wait till you see Obama 2.0!
In other words, it's back to Stage One, "denial." The one big hitch with the 2.0 plan is that it won't work. Liberals seem to think that voters reelected Bill Clinton in '96 because they voted Republican in '94. Voters feared and loathed the Gingrich Congress, goes the theory, so they reelected Clinton. In fact, they feared and loathed the Gingrich Congress so much, they reelected it in '96. Left out of this bit of convenient historical revisionism is that the U.S. economy in '96 was growing gangbusters (the Reagan boom had resumed) and the Republicans had nominated Bob Dole. The current housing mess will take years to resolve and even experts know the economy will still be limping along with high unemployment well into next year and the year after. Obama 2.0 can't trump an economy "growing" 2.0 percent.
Obama last year famously told Rep. Marion Berry that "the big difference here and in '94 was you've got me." And the big difference between '96 and 2012 is that you'll still have Obamanomics.
Anyway, that's...

One more day to go! Monday morning ping!
If the GOP does not radically reform government from top to bottom including entitlements it won’t make a difference. We will continue to spiral downward with debt debasing our currency. We can’t grow our way out of the entitlements problems or the pension problems at the state and federal levels. If the GOP tackles these issues they will be swept from power just like the rats on Tuesday.
Definitely hoping we can turn the ship around but not too optimistic no matter how happy I am this week. We have real fundamental problems and I don’t hear too many Republicans addressing them. It’s now or never!
Anybody have a claw hammer I can borrow? Need to pull out some nails.
Can you imagine the seismometers registering that hit?
Obama last year famously told Rep. Marion Berry that "the big difference here and in '94 was you've got me."BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Yup, he's all yours mindless dimwits.
Good morning John.
See Tag Line!

I can hardly wait for tomorrow!! ;-))))
One of the first things they have to do is get a tight rein on the rampant regulations that are being announced by the agencies which have no direct authority or reference in current federal statute. (Example EPA imposing Carbon limitations or Cap N Trade under the Clean Air Act without specific authorizing legislation and the National Forest Management Act replacement of the word “coordination” with local government with “collabroration or cooperation.”) That will cut down the Executive and put Congress back in charge of legislation.
One of the things I would like to see is a halt to the annual reauthorization of the Endangered Species Act, the repeal of the Equal Access to Justice Act that pays environmental attorneys to sue, the elmination of the nonnavigable intrastate waters definition from the new reauthorization of the Clean Water Act and the revamping of NEPA to prevent the current tyranny of one person from virtually freezing management of a National Forest through stupid appeals based on extreme environmental views.
I think all laws should reference their authority for enactment in a stated article, section and clause of the Constitution and that the broad Commerce Clause interpretation should be cut waaaaaay back. Congress should no longer be able to buy jurisdiction from the state through monetary enticements under the tax and spend authority. This allows them to get into education, health care, welfare and all sorts of areas where they are not authorized to legislate in the Constitution. The practice should be prohibited and Congress should return to the limits of its authority according to its enumerated powers and the necessary and proper clause.
Treaties should not drive legislation and certainly should not create extra Constitutional authority for Congress to legislate in areas that are otherwise the domain of the states.
