This is how ridiculous the Maine gals are. When I saw the title of the story, I was ready to say how can Maine be red when it has two blue senators. Wow! That is telling. Those two are seriously to the left of our worst RINO.

Congrats on turning Red!

In states like Maine and NY, an electable GOPOS who caucuses with the GOP is better than a “Independent” or Dim who caucuses with the Dims.

misleading headline

on a day when both US Congressional districts went for the ‘Rat it’s not exactly accurate to say “Maine goes red” (unless we start referring to the Demagogues with the color red, which would be just fine with me)

As you know, Maine sort of has 4 senators (two in the senate and 2 in the house), though I realize there are 2 separate districts.

Dim victories in two house races are NOT good when thinking of how the twins will react. I see them being VERY conflicted for the next 2 years (as if that is a new development).

A friend of mine lobbies the twins for conservatives. I will have to ask him what he thinks of all this.

No - I don’t miss that.

I am overjoyed that my own FL has 2/3 majorities in BOTH chambers - and a GOP businessman governor.

And we kicked Grayson out of Gongress!
And hired Colonel West to go to Congress!

Yay! Another Tea Party victory. So funny watching MSNBC last night around Midnight and Olbermann, Fineman, Robinson, Maddow, Matthews...with their Tea Party Fail Card...my my how those numbers changed after that. I have never seen a bigger bunch of juvenile smug arrogant bastards in my life than what I saw on MSNBC last night. Smirking, snorting, laughing at winners as they spoke or were interviewed, mocked....it was a true lesson to anyone in journalism school on what NOT to be.

The Bachman/Cwissy clip is priceless.

After he accused he of being in a trance, she gave a good reply and then closed with something like “Is the thrill up your leg still tingly?” and Cwissy cut her off and then snarked at her with his dimwitted colleagues at Maoist Sentinel NBC defiantly stating “I never said tingle” (as if that matters one iota).
