That’s a valuable lesson as we head into the 2014 midterm elections."
You mean an appearance by Obama isn’t the kiss of death ?
Special elections ... meaningless. And that GOPer elected? More Liberal than most liberals you know.
Not trying to throw water on it but just tired of “pundits” telling me something isn’t what it really is. San Diego, a conservative city, elected a former Dem now “moderate” Republican as Mayor in a special election. Big ... deal.
I believe we are seeing a harbinger of elections to come folks....this is San Diego....southern California...not northern where there is still a hint of conservatism!! Another thing...”THIS IS CALIFORNIA”!!!!!
TOTALITARIAN supporters/enablers/co-conpirators should be DEPOPULATED from the body politic and IMPRISONED from the general population.

None of which is good news for Dems.
Not to nit-pick, but the graphic has a misspelling. The word is Its, not It’s.
I wonder if the Dems will decide they need a more “inspirational” candidate than re-cycled Hillary?
I didn't make it, I found it and that's a common mistake people make but it was too good to discard because of punctuation.
Just because people don’t come out to an EBT appreciation picnic doesn’t mean they are giving it up.
Holder’s felons didn’t show up.
Thanks for that info. I wondered when I saw this if the guy was a conservative or a GOPe.
Maybe, we can pay Herr Obozomeister to back the rat candidates on tv in the upcoming elections in many races.
