WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement on the resounding Democratic victories in elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and across the country:
"The resounding victories tonight by Jon Corzine and Tim Kaine have sent a powerful message that when Democrats stand up for what we believe in, we win. They showed that the values and priorities of the Democratic Party are the values and priorities of the American people.
"Jon Corzine and Tim Kaine were strong candidates who offered vision and leadership based on the shared values and priorities of the voters of New Jersey and Virginia. They worked hard to earn the trust and the votes of the people in their states by not taking a single vote or voter for granted.
"Also tonight, voters all across the country delivered a resounding message: Americans are tired of the politics of hate and divisiveness, and voted for strong Democratic candidates who offered true leadership for their states and communities. These candidates showed exactly what our party is going to do to stand up and win in 2006."
Next year they'll be toast.
Where's the barf alert? I guess if "Dean" is in the title the chunk-blowing is implied.
What resounding victories?
VA-we expected Kaine to win. He shouldn't have, but did. VA already had a Dem Gov. Net gain/loss - 0.
NJ-see above.
Ohio- issues 2-5 DEFEATED SOUNDLY!!!
Or the San Diego mayoral race, or the Ohio defeat of the Soros/MoveOn.org initiatives...
I think I threw up in my mouth just a little.
A fool and his mind are soon parted.
What victories...they maintained their governorhships...They LOST their BS initiatives in OHIO...and the mayor of NYC is a republican.
For Dumbocrats like Dean, failure is victory.
Dean is such an ass. Exactly how many gubernatorial seats did the Dims pick up yesterday? Zero? Yes, resounding is the only way to describe such a political earthquake.
They're peaking too soon.Yep.
Good. Let them be confident. It will make their defeat all the more sweet.
Seriously though, what can one say? The Dems held in New Jersey, where it seems a monkey could get elected as long as it had a 'D' designation, and they won in Virginia, where many did not bother to vote, and where the Dems also won in 2001 despite the President's stratospheric popularity.
Dems replaced dems so I don't see the big deal. If he is saying the dem's position were all no on Prop here in CA they are in big trouble they might have won the props but lost all the bond issues.
My guess is the people don't want change and don't want to pay for anything new. We are taxed enough.
Like the initiatives in Ohio and the constitutional amendments in Texas?
Rooster congratulating himself on the sun coming up.
Jon Corzine is a lying scheming thief, which puts him right in line with recent Dem leadership in NJ. Oh well, at least his dalliances are hetero!
