Piss them off so bad that they start their own website.

Republican party leadership selected Scozzafava, a moderate Republican (despite your claims to the contrary) to run for the seat. Tea partiers threw a fit, Hoffman was promoted, Hoffman and Scozzafava split Republican votes (even though she had to withdraw days before the election, thousands had already voted by that point), and Owens won. This is precisely what I am talking about, not in contrast to it.

Cites, please. And try to keep them recent, if you can find them.

Cite some evidence that conservatives are doing "everything in their power" to oust Bennett and Kirk.

Ha! No, I will just enjoy the fact that you now equate "conservative" with "tea partier." That alone is all the evidence you need of the problems Republicans face.

Those are not recent polls. Even so, Meek +8 and Meek +3 are pretty narrow margins. Hardly makes Rubio "unelectable".

In other words, you have no evidence.

Roll with it, Tex. You and your fellow tea partiers are one of the best thing to happen to Dem election fortunes this year.

Heh, oh I'm rolling with it, don't worry. If you think this is a good year for Democrats, more power to ya!

In the meantime, here's the two latest Brown and Coakley ads. You tell me which one feels like a frontrunner:

Coakley (including the misspelled Massachusettes):



Brown:

Brown:

You are resorting to the "feel" of campaign ads now to find comfort? I will resort to the "feeling" of enjoying Coakley's win.

And yes, it is a very good year to be a Democrat. Perhaps the best year in decades once health reform passes.

News for Dems keeps getting better:

A year into his tenure, a majority of Americans would already vote against Pres. Obama if the '12 elections were held today, according to a new survey.

The Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll shows 50% say they would probably or definitely vote for someone else. Fully 37% say they would definitely cast a ballot against Obama. Meanwhile, just 39% would vote to re-elect the pres. to a 2nd term, and only 23% say they definitely would do so.

This is a two-edged sword. For it to continue will mean our economy worsens which means we all suffer.

If it turns around, then these numbers mean nothing as voters have short memories.

I predict Obamanomics will fail, but take no glee or delight in that prediction.

I can't believe Coakley is this stupid. Maybe she's just cursed. In the clip below, she calls Curt Schilling a Yankee fan.

This is a woman from Boston. From Boston.



Schilling (a vocal Brown supporter) comments: "Never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn’t know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could."

Heh. Hope il Pad drops by to see this.

This is a time when populism will do well with independents. I think the electorate is tiring of the enlightened entitled liberal elite, who will lord over us and show us unwashed masses the way.
