White House: Tuesday’s vote not a ‘true national election’
The Washington Times ^ | November 3, 2014 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 11/03/2014 1:16:33 PM PST by jazusamo

Despite signs pointing to Republican gains in Tuesday’s midterm elections, White House aides said President Obama won’t change his leadership style because the contests in red states don’t represent a “true national election.”

With the GOP in striking distance of regaining control of the Senate, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday that “the vast majority of [Senate races] are actually taking place in states that the president did not win in the last presidential election.”

And he said the Republican-friendly nature of this year’s electoral map would be a reason for the White House to limit any lessons learned from the outcome.

“The electorate is different this time than it is in a traditional presidential election,” Mr. Earnest said. “That will be part of the calculation that’s made as we consider what sort of conclusion should be appropriately drawn from the election.”

What? No one has made a goofy whiny post about MASSIVE voter fraud yet?

Like why would morons at the WH make a statement like this if they were planning on totally winning all of the races with manufactured votes?

It will suddenly become a national election when the Dims retain the Senate.

For the White House to say this the day before an election means they’ve thrown in the towel.

Or he's just opening admitting that election fraud has been orchestrated across the fruited plain. Besides, we don't have national elections anyway. Any dem "victory" will, however, be deemed as a "national mandate" to **** the American People.

If you’re electing Governors and senators, it sure is a National Election.

Welp. There goes the talk of 'compromise' on the part of the White House.

I knew it was all bullshit.

Don't be a jerk. There's plenty of fraud.

It's just that they are figuring it won't be enough to surmount the tidal wave.

On election night in 2010, James Carville famously put a waste basket over his head in embarrassment when the returns began to show that Republicans would win by a landslide.

It’s nice to remember that at least some Democrats once had a sense of humor.

Of course, according to Obama, if the Republicans win by a landslide again tomorrow, they won’t really have won. Does that mean the Democrats will have won instead? Poor James Carville — how will he know what headwear to choose for tomorrow night’s TV commentary?
