White House officials rejected what they said was over-hyped conclusions about the impact on Obama of losing the governorships in New Jersey and Virginia, and instead sought to focus attention on the Democratic victory in New York's 23rd Congressional District.
"We won a congressional seat that's been in Republican hands since Ulysses S. Grant was president, in part because of the disunity in the Republican Party," senior adviser David Axelrod said in an early-morning phone interview. "That was the only truly national
contest on the ballot."
Axelrod said the intervention of national conservatives in pushing the moderate GOP candidate out of the New York race will be the only lasting impact of the night.
"The most portentous thing that happened yesterday was that the right wing of the Republican Party ran a moderate Republican essentially out of the race, and lost a seat they had held for more than 100 years," he said. "I don't take that as discouragement."

To me this was the big race. We need to prove the Palin aka RayGun crap is dead. Communism is dead, and so should RayGuns philosophy (Big spending, big borrowing, low taxes for the rich, big military, etc, all gone from a bygone era). Thank God.
Oh, and that race also showed the crazy cons starting to eat their own as in Scozzafava. That usually happens to animals under extreme stress. Plus Hoffman had all the crazy con wing-nut pundits blathering about him and he still lost. That says a lot. The crazy's are having their last day in the sun.
hahahahaha. What a joke!! This was the real race?!?! Barak Obama campaigned 5 times for Corzine!!! Corzine outspent Christie 10-1. Virginia goes to republicans!!! These were for the governors seats!! Scozzafava has been exposed! RINO's have been put on notice!!! A conservative got 40% of the vote!! A conservative. That's the real story!!
Dems in congress!! Vote for the health care bill!! I Dare You!!
Just checkin in from Ireland!
Raygun-
Looks like the stupid dems in King country voted down I-1033. Why in the hell wouldnt you want to limit government growth?
BB, good to have you back. I see the GD terrorists didn't get you. Unless you are just wounded.
I was going to vote against property tax increase but I am ashamed to say my in mail ballot was forgotten and we missed it. First time in a long time that happened.
GD BB, thanks once again for the gold tip.
1099.00
I owe u buddy.
Please let me know when you think gold is a good investment. Thanks again.
HOTR, wtf, you arent a real con as you don't even belong to the NRA. You're not excessively religious, how can you even consider yourself as a real GD con?
Excellent question, Ray Gun.
CJP, I think the cons are a little depressed tonight as their Queen of delusion (Palin) simple words did not carry them through. JC what could be wrong???

Liberals spreading their lies once again to grow government!!!
Raygun-
Why must I be a religious nut to love my country??? Gold is still a bad long term investment. You were probably telling everyone that they were going to lose everything when the market was going down. Also telling everyone that their was no end in the growth prior to that.
Think long term and look at what history has shown you about gold. It is a bad investment and still hasnt recovered from the 80s crash in gold prices. (adjusted for inflation) Why do you think gold is such a great investment? It has a poor rate of return compared to the stockmarket. You can invest in a pretty rock while I will invest in companies with assets that have REAL value.

Raygun-
Are you a member of the NRA? Do you support the 2nd amendment? Does that make you a conservative?
Well going to sleep, I am going to see the Cliffs of Mohor. Sure glad those evil rich guys were spending money so I could keep working!

JC BB you sound a little like Bono...
Maybe ye learned something :-)
Nah, your just a babe in the woods, and not not what ye say.
"HOTR, wtf, you arent a real con as you don't even belong to the NRA. You're not excessively religious, how can you even consider yourself as a real GD con?"
Raygun, I told you I'm not as conservative as you think. I just don't want the government in every part of my life. I don't want to change my healthcare. Are those really conservative issues?
Take care Brandon. Can't wait til your back. I need some help with these guys. lol
"Are those really conservative issues?"

Guns and religion? Yes, you guys own God and most cons certainly seem to like guns.

"Guns and religion? Yes, you guys own God and most cons certainly seem to like guns."
Yep, "in God we trust" is the sentence that's printed on the con's favorite paper. Doesn't mean that they own God. ;)
Yep, most cons certainly seem to like guns and probably would love to use them as well. Just like John Wayne's movies, stuck in America's middle ages. LOL
"Doesn't mean that they own God. ;)"

I know, they only think they own God, just ask one. And they all think all they have to do is spout off every so often on how great God is, and He will give them more pretty green paper. If cons were really truthful, they would admit that the pretty green paper is their God.
Raygun do you get paid in peanuts?
"Raygun do you get paid in peanuts?"

NO, HOTR, I get paid in 0's and 1s'
HOTR, U ever hear of RadioHead???

"how do you pay your bills?"
--
I pay them by 0's and 1's.
"I pay them by 0's and 1's."
I am not as brilliant as you. what does that mean?
"I pay them by 0's and 1's."

Bankers in NY. We all dislike them.
"Bankers in NY. We all dislike them."
I'll just assume you get paid in US currency just like everybody else but for some reason you libs act like they don't want it as much as cons.
BB, front page of NYTimes, such a sad story.
Appears that Bono and the the band are breaking up, in a Shakespearean way, in Germany, while you were there.
BB, isn't that an omen for all we have talked about?
