Reid won because he managed to keep the election local, while Angle was foolish to keep out the press. Coons won because O'Donnell was a horrible candidate. Massachusetts is a liberal state--this is a shock?
How anyone can see the Congress flipping two years after we were told Obama was in for eight years and Obamacare was going to ensure win after win for the left is beyond me.
While I'm delighted the house is back, I'm gobsmacked that any Demonrat was re-elected, given what's happened to this country over the past two years.
If those two years of excrement didn't give pause to all voters, I have little hope that this election will matter one bit to save this country, that last night's results will prove to be nothing but a blip on the chart to full-blown socialism.
That the barking mad Al Green, in SC, got 357,000 votes is all the proof I need that a large percentage of the population is similarly insane.
God help us, especially those of us in Massachusetts, who now again suffer Obowamao's mini-me, Patrick, and his collectivist cadre.
Like you, I find this scary. Here is ‘conservative’ Arizona, Jesse Kelly lost the race to Pelosi buttgirl Gabby Giffords. The problem was that Kelly was a bit too conservative for the district. Outside Tucson, he did well - but east Tucson was more afraid of him than of Giffords.
Meanwhile, Vail AZ just narrowly (about 4%) refused to vote for another tax increase for the schools, although it voted for one just last May. So on a night when Republicans were winning big, Vail just barely turned back the second tax increase in 6 months.
Conservatives who were expecting to cruise to victory on anti-Obama need to realize the unions and tax-recipients hate and fear us as much as we despise Obama - and in a lot of localities, they outnumber us. This was one small step towards where we need to be. A good step in many places, but I retired to Southern Arizona in the belief it was a conservative place, not San Francisco AZ.
But the reality is that the country is NOT conservative. Some places are, but the libs OWN the cities, and that is where most of the votes are.
