Posted on 11/03/2014 4:12:18 AM PST by Jim Noble

By Tuesday night about 90 million Americans will have cast ballots in an election that’s almost certain to create greater partisan divisions, increase gridlock and render governance of our complex nation even more difficult. Ninety million sounds like a lot, but that means that less than 40 percent of the electorate will bother to vote...

The main impact of the midterm election in the modern era has been to weaken the president, the only government official (other than the powerless vice president) elected by the entire nation. Since the end of World War II, the president’s party has on average lost 25 seats in the House and about 4 in the Senate as a result of the midterms...

RE :”SOL, looks like you just may get a Republican governor.(Maryland).. that’s a surprise...’

Lets hope he's smarter than the last one : Bob Erhlich

.... and after 2012 I thought I would never vote in Maryland again.

I have posted time and time again that I absolutely despise Martin O Malley :

1) Over 40 tax increases
2) Gay marriage
3) Drivers licenses for illegals
4) more gun laws
5) Speed cameras (OK, those dont bother me as much as the others)

It made me hate my fellow Maryland voters, fing idiots,

Not to worry - the New York Times NEVER said this about midterms when Bush was President... David Schanzer and Jay Sullivan are typical New York Times Democrats - their only principle is ‘what works for democrats’ and ‘who’s ox is being gored’. It’s a yawn - they’re a yawn - and this is why people are giving up newspaper subscriptions. It’s too obvious.
