We knew it was going to be a bad election night for the Democrats when former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe announced on NBC's "Today" program that "the results of these elections tend to be overread." Certainly that was not the prevailing opinion in Democratic circles in 2008, when giddiness over Barack Obama's election reached manic proportions.

Virginia, which voted Democratic for president for the first time since 1964, was singled out as an indication of the shape of things to come. In 2008, Mr. Plouffe bragged that only Mr. Obama could make Virginia competitive, and when he won the state, it was hailed as a bellwether, an indicant of the emerging "permanent Democratic majority."

The CNN guys have their map out, showed counties that went all blue for Obama in 08, then showed them this election —red.

The problem is that “America the Liberal” is likely to get a lot of us killed.

The current crew can do a lot of damage between now and 2010’s elections, 2009 Bellweathers be damned....

Ha! Ha! Drudge says it best: “UH O”

And one more point...

Any black Democrat who chose to run for Governor in Virginia would have drawn out the black vote. Two white boys fighting it out means the turnout in black precincts is going to be non-existent.

Just sayin’...

[muawiyah]

Recalling that the African-American former Governor of Virginia did not endorse anyone in this race, there's a chance the black turnout may reach historic low numbers (for this century anyway).

What David Plouffe needs to 'splain is the plan Axelrod has to rebuild the failed Obama regime!

Look for the Democrat destruction of America to accelerate now that they have only 15 months left! They have to get ‘er done in jig time.

[Billthedrill]

Mr. Obama's election brought the United States astronomical public debt, a slumping currency, increasing government control of the economy, continued job losses, radical judges, a disastrous foreign policy, a proposed government takeover of health care and a job-killing energy bill. Americans - some unwittingly - put in place the most radical government in generations, and they now are realizing what they have wrought.

Nice summary. "All Bush's fault" is past its sell-by date and is starting to sound pathetic even to the Left. This is going to get very interesting.

It not over yet, watch the crooks in NJ try to steal the election. The dead still need to be counted.
When both candidates poll over 50% there is usually a problem. Except in democrat controlled counties./S
Look at CNN!!!
Their main page, you really have to look for any political news!!!!!!!HAAAHAAAA the shame, the shame........

[Verginius Rufus]

Yes, Virginia! There is a Santa Claus.

As I read on Red State:

In 2008, the American public voted for Barack Obama to prove they weren’t racist and in 2010 the same public is voting for Republicans to prove they aren’t socialist.
