From Twitter: daveweigel Meh, maybe this won't be so bad for Dems in 2012. There aren't any Jewish voters in Florida, are there?

The Wisconsin GOP got smart and held back votes last time.

And you remember all the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Dems?? Late votes come in and they're (R), and they think this is an irregularity. I think they should be prohibited from complaining about that till the cumulative total of "late" GOP votes adds up to more than all the magic ballots the Dems have "found" over the years.

“The important thing is the devastating and unspinnable blow that Obama and the Dems will take.”

The important thing is that we Jews voted for a catholic republican over a kipa wearing Jewish democrat because we put principles and values over identity and pork politics.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

Yes, very cool.

I have a letter from my ggg-grandmother to her son (gg-grandpa) asking him if he still voted Republican. This was dated in the early 1860s, during the Civil War, before she passed away. I don’t have his answer but he was an admirer of Abe Lincoln. :)

Brooklyn 69% for Turner. Dang! I live in Eric Cantor’s district and he doesn’t get those kind of numbers.

At this point there is almost exactly the same number of unreported precincts from Brooklyn and Queens. So if the percentages hold reasonably well then Turner should win easily.

Political correctness is such a strong force in our popular culture, on marriage and other issues. The gay activists and Hollywood idiots have framed the debate as one of discrimination, and that banning homosexual marriage is the same as the old bans on inter-racial marriage.

It’s becoming more difficult for politicians to say that they prefer traditional marriage. The liberal noise machine orchestrates meltdowns and hyperventilates, so that some politicos want to avoid the issue altogether rather than say they think marriage should be 1 man 1 woman.

How many of you would have thought, about 15 years ago, that marriage would be a flashpoint in the culture wars? And that if you said you believe in traditional marriage, that this would get you labeled as a bigot, hater, and worse???? That’s the cultural backdrop we’re up against anymore.

What is the HTML code you use to format that quote in? I'd like to use it myself in these threads.

Anyway, if the trend holds, this is going to be a devastating night for Obama - which makes it a pretty good night for the rest of us.
