And that is why the rats lost

Because unfortunately for you, it wasn’t about that man’s popularity, his ability to give a good speech, his carefully scripted life, sanitized by media—that incidentally are about you as well.

All the king's horses and all the king's men...

Even with the full court press that the MSM performed to protect the Big O, his legacy as a loser prevails.

Now, President Chip-on-his-shoulder is going to triple down on stupid.

Mmmmmmm...haven’t seen that breakdown.......if they did, sure as hell Democrats wont admit it (/snix).

“You lost Illinois.

You lost Maryland.

You lost Massachusetts.

You lost Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota, and West Virginia.”

The Dems are alll within the borders of major cities. The term “siege warfare” comes to mind.

I wish I’d written that. It’s excellent. This should be shouted from the rooftops.

Several stations are showing Rush Limbaugh's comments saying that the people sent a message to stop Obama. I'd bet what's left of my 401(k) that if you asked McConnell, Boehner and other establishments about that, they would disagree and say that their voters have told them they want to see more working across the aisles and compromise.

I think that could very well be the tone set by the next congress and conservatives will find themselves in the hole once again in 2016 because of these weak leaders.

What confuses me is how so many of the newer members in congress are pressured into support these weak leaders even though their supporters clearly want them to step aside and let a conservative trend prevail.

Great article!

It will now be fun to start watching the RATS in his administration slinking off the sinking ship!

Let me be the first to predict that Obama will resign!

He admits to a weak inner core (laziness) and a divorce is around the corner.

With his buddy rats abandoning ship and stabbing him in the back..............he will quit!

[Dallas59]

Lol..

[maddog55]

It’s only about him and unfortunately we’re in the minority midterm 1/3rd he doesn’t listen to.

Politico’s results say Republicans lost 2 House seats and 0 Senate seats. All the articles seem to say the only governor seat we lost was Pennsylvania.

[qam1]

Didn’t the Republican governor of Alaska lose to an Independent?

I am not sure if the Independent is a Democrat running as one or not

[mountn man]

According to Wikipedia, Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania, was the only republican incumbent governor who lost, democrats lost 4.

Democrats didn't oust any republican senators. Democrats lost 7

Republicans defeated 15 democrat representitives, Democrats defeated 3 republicans.

All in all, republicans lost 4 seats, democrats lost 19.

Excellent choice!

[mountn man]

Absentee ballots still have to be counted.

As of now the republican incumbent is down 1.4% or 3,165 votes. The absentee votes "COULD" switch that.

It could take 2 weeks to find out.

The current leader is non party affiliated.

How many of us would know this important reality if not for Free Republic?

Thanks, is there one Wiki page that summarizes that? I’d like to see that link.

It’s pretty amazing that Corbett won PA with almost 55% in 2010 and now lost to Wolf who got about the same 55%. Turnout was down 15%. Does anyone know how turnout overall this cycle compared to 2010?

In fact, Wolf got almost exactly the same amount of votes that the Democrat in 2010 got, 1.8 million both times. But Corbett lost 600,000 votes this time. So this really does seem like a Romney-esque case of Corbett losing the base.

A good read except the immigration reform part. Too lefty for me on that one.
