Let’s hope. Get out the vote is the primary function of elections. We really didn’t win by a ton. Thank God that the Democrats were so lazy yesterday.
It must be really bad... The paper is a democrat rag....
How appropriate.
Hopefully,seniors will vote Republican in droves nationwide.
The question that every Democrat House or Senate should be forced to openly answer in front of the public and media....”Did you, or did you not vote for Obamacare in 2010?”. Case closed!!!!
It's a district that's been trending blue, so a loss wouldn't have been a loss for the Republicans, but a loss is very definitely a loss for the Democrats.
Bodes well for Republican chances in November -- IF they can get out of their circular firing squad. IF they retake the Senate, Obama is pretty much a lame duck, like Bush 43 was his last 2 years.
Obamacare will be in 2014 for Democrats what Watergate was in 1974 for Republicans. The Democrats not only passed a bad law that seriously disrupted heath care, but showed pompous arrogance when they refused to allow any modifications or changes. The American people usually do not reward bad policy and bad behavior.
“”Outside Republican groups — much more so than the under-funded Jolly campaign — hung the Affordable Care Act and President Obama on Sink.””
I was a volunteer with one of those NON-Republican groups who made thousands of phone calls to voters in this district. We found that Republicans, Independents, and even Democrats strongly disapproved Obamacare.
It is not correct for the Tampa Bay Times to call these Outside Republican groups. These groups are NON-Republican conservative groups.
FoxNews reports this morning that ‘even some Republican consultants were worried that Jolly could not pull out a win, because he was behind in the polls.’
Additionally, the Republican consultants were worried that Obamacare might not be the issue mid-term candidates should run against.

[The Republicans NEED to get a new set of consultants. These guys they have been paying in recent years aren’t worth crap.]

I’ve said this before — You can’t just beat on Obamacare and propose nothing.
Newt Gingrich had the right formula when he united the Republicans around the CONTRACT WITH AMERICA.
The GOP has to UNITE around a plan to replace Obamacare.
And NO, simply saying we will repeal it and go back to where things were before won’t appeal. People were not exactly happy with the way things were before Obamacare.
“Obama at this point looks like a drag for Democrats in November, just as he consistently has been for Sink.”
Obama, at this point, is a drag for America and maybe FINALLY Americans are GETTING THE POINT!!!
