We told you about Mike, and about The Gays, but there were a couple other elections that news people are talking about today. These were, obviously, early referenda on Barack Obama, and he lost.
Sure, if you live in New Jersey or Virginia you might've thought the gubernatorial campaigns in those two states were mostly about taxes and jobs (and weight), but that is wrong. These were shadow reelection campaigns for Barack Obama, and he lost both of them, because he is a failure.

Not necessarily. Have to look at an election map and see how these areas traditionally voted. I think a dead pig could have run against McCain and that dumb bimbo and won. There was a lot of back lash against the disaster junior made.

From anna's article:


''the special election in New York's 23rd was the only race yesterday that had anything to do with national politics, because movement conservatives inserted themselves into the race and promptly lost. In what could easily actually be a preview of next year's midterms, teabaggers and the conservative Club for Growth and Sarah Palin all threw their support behind a candidate they found more acceptable than the Republican, and their guy lost. ''


This is precisely what I said on another thread. It only looks as if the Dems lost the election but that's because it was portrayed that way by the far right news media.
