The bad news:
Bill Randall lost in NC. Can't say he didn't bring the fire, though.
O'Donnell lost in DE, no thanks to Karl "the Assassin" Rove(up yours, buddy).
Harry Reid blatantly stole the election from Sharon Angle in NV. I'm sure our valiant Department of Justice will get right on that.
Tancredo lost the gubernatorial race, and Ken Buck--unless a miracle occurs--just lost the Senate recount in CO.
The Murkowski/Miller and Rossi/Murray races are still battling it out, but with the amount of criminal action this year on the Dems' part, I'm not too optimistic.
God help me, I had to vote for Juan McSame. The only good news I can pull out of this is that, as a finger-in-the-wind flip-flopper, he's likely smart enough to flip our way.
The good news:
We still kicked ass. Not quite as much as I would have liked, but an unmistakable beatdown. Nikki Haley is SC's new Governor-Elect. Susana Martinez took NM. Allen West(FL) is officially In Da House, while Marco Rubio(FL) and Rand Paul(KY) are headed for the Senate to shove the Constitution up some DeceptiCon orifices. The Baddest Governor In The Southwest is still keeping watch over the Sovereign State of Arizona, and Michele Bachmann will indeed be holding her Constitutional Studies Classes for our elected officials. Beats studying the Communist Manifesto like they're apparently doing now.
The shock:
Hank Johnson was re-elected in GA-4. "Who?"
This guy:
Seriously, WTF? This isn't even a question of R vs D or Conservative vs Liberal. The man is mentally unfit to be in charge of anything more complicated than deciding what to have for lunch. People in GA-4 actually went to the effort of voting this man into office. Again.
I'm usually loathe to invoke stereotypes, but I think GA-4 contains a large portion of people whose family trees are missing a few branches. Either that or they make some pretty powerful 'shine around those parts.
Can anyone tell me what the hell those people were thinking?
I think it will be interesting to see which way McCain goes during this term. The case could be made that he owes a substantial piece of his primary victory to Sarah Palin's endorsement -- you know, the lady many of his aides/family members have been trashing during his apparently convenient bouts of "hearing loss." If the last few months are any indication, I think he's gonna try to suck it up and go along; but I also think he's going to hate every minute of it, and the mask will slip.
ReplyDeleteHe owes Sarah a lot. And they both know it... ;)
