what it shows is that the people would most likely be behind true small government minded candidates.

Ones that would take an ax to the government and shrink it and it supposed responsibilities and let the people handle it.

Face it, its hard for dems or rinos to say to their brethren that they arent needed anymore so what we get is just that, the total gloss over of what really needs to be done, fire half the government and leave it to the private sector to work out.

Their party’s littered with at least as many unappealing losers as ours is.

Quote of the day!

It didn’t work.

Anywhere it was tried in VA, those candidates went down in flames.

Webb won on those tactics, pure and simple, yet here we are in 2009 and tyring those exact, same, winning tactics that had worked for over a decade suddenly lost all its appeal, all its magic, and all its MSM fairy dust. If Deeds had run a traditional, rural based campaign with a modicum of mudslinging, he would have stood a chance. Instead he pulled out the Scroll of Doom, read the magic formula and it blew up in his face.

Looks like nearly the same thing happened in NJ, save it is a Democratic Machine State. Having a formula like that go *poof* in NJ is damned impressive in what it says about the state of the Democratic Machine Party.

And if these newly minted R Governors can’t carry through on their words in very short order, don’t expect any magic formula to be left for either party. When I hear candidates start to utter the word ‘rollback’ then I will know the message is getting through. Twelve months are left to learn that word and mean it. Otherwise 2010 won’t be pretty for either party.

Their party’s littered with at least as many unappealing losers as ours is.

Thanks for the inspirational pep talk, Allah!

I do not understand being willing to lose in 2010 to better position ourselves for winning in 2012, let alone actually wanting to lose.

You don’t understand it because it makes no sense. Saying we should lose in 2010 so we can win in 2012 is crazy talk.

As of right now, I plan on supporting Chuck DeVore and Steve Poizner.

Unlike some, I don’t vote with my v*gina.

Ditto!

That’s why I hate Rove being touted all over the place as some spokesman for conservatism… trying to rewrite history… he’s “the architect” of the Democratic resurgence.

Why shouldn’t, say, Carly Fiorina Chuck Devore be able to beat Boxer?

Own the bill, Democrats. Bathe in its realignment glory.

Great lines!

Oh, Allah, why do you keep forgetting about a certain moose-hunting grandma who has a knack for Facebook?

He hasn’t forgotten……just wait till later tonight for the posting of “Palin fails” in the NY23 race.

Jerome Horwitz on November 4, 2009 at 4:36 PM

Hmmmm. Anyone suspect a certain beta blogger is out right now looking for a juicy Palin poll?

Allah: this sentence confuses me:

For all the laughs conservatives have had over his narcissism, this year’s results actually underscore what a strong candidate he is: When you remove his personal charisma and Hopey/Changey sermonizing from the equation, you’re left with … Creigh Deeds, and even a Republican as nondescript as Bob McDonnell can put the boots to someone like that.

Unless you mean Obama is great at lying, then yes, I agree.

But reality always wins – especially when it involves economic principles.
That is the reason Obama has to use the “saved or created” farce, because his policies are anti-business.

Since Hoover, only two elected presidents have failed to win re-election. GHW Bush and Jimmy Carter. Obama is far more personally charming and attractive than either of them. So, I’m not counting on him losing in 2012.

Instead, I believe it is very important for us to be able to gain enough Senate seats to ensure we can sustain a filibuster, and retake the House in 2010. This is the fastest way to stop Obama from enacting any more of leftist agenda.

Buy lottery tickets – we agree.

Bitter old Charlie Krauthammer

Translation: I can’t credibly refute Krauthammer’s analysis, so I will instead call him names.”

Soros needs to pay you more, kid.

Best chance for realignment is for Blue Dogs to pull a Specter and join the real Conservative party and it ain’t Democrat.

chickasaw42 on November 4, 2009 at 4:51 PM

This is the kind of thinking that doomed the Republican Party to begin with. Why would you want to make blue dogs into Republicans and have them in Congress as a best case scenario instead of ensuring that a liberal never holds that seat by always having a conservative vs blue dog election for that seat? The Democrats would love to see the Republicans turn their blue dogs into Republicans.

We should be trying to make the Democrat Party more conservative by sending them our rinos, therefore ensuring that rino will continue to hold that seat as a worst case scenario instead of a best case scenario.

Exactly! Obama is a radical leftist. It’s how he was raised and the only thing he knows. The concept of mom, apple pie and center-right politics is alien to him.

Redneck Woman on November 4, 2009 at 4:47 PM

Exactly: Obambi has to be feeling his inferior best. You can’t polish a turd!

Hummm, Sarah Palin can beat the One. And she will beat him in 2012.

milemarker2020 on November 4, 2009 at 4:22 PM

Sarah can beat Barakie boy on the basketball court any day! Just for starters!

Obama tumbled in the polls faster than I expected he would but I knew we were still a solidly center-right nation with traditional values.

Watching Krauthammer here talk about the jubilation after Obama was elected reminds me of seeing this moronic little college girl jumping and up and down screaming in a crowd before the camera in DC. Ignorance truly is bliss I suppose.

Why shouldn’t, say, Carly Fiorina be able to beat Boxer? Their party’s littered with at least as many unappealing losers as ours is.

Because, when it comes to unappealing losers, Fiorina and Whitman are at the top of their game.

As of right now, I plan on supporting Chuck DeVore and Steve Poizner.

Unlike some, I don’t vote with my v*gina.

I couldn’t have put it better. I agree wholeheartedly w/your assessments. Carry on.

Both great handles btw!
