Top 10 Reasons Not To Worry If Republicans Win Today's Elections
Tuesday November 3, 2009 1:03 a.m.
While nothing is yet certain, it appears that the Republicans could narrowly pull of some victories in tonight's highly publicized NY, NJ and VA elections. Here are the top ten reasons not to worry if this happens.
10) Bob McDonnell is not as bad as Mitch McConnell.
9) Jon Corzine may be able to get his job back at Goldman Sachs.
8) After the influx of cash to Doug Hoffman, the tea party protesters are broke.
7) Columnists and reporters won't need to learn how to pronounce Dede Scozzafava's name.
6) There are more important things to worry about, like that guy stalking Ryan Seacrest.
5) At least we will still control the presidency, both houses, and MSNBC.
4) We will have a larger pool of candidates to run against Joe Lieberman.
3) There's s chance Glenn Beck will celebrate the victories with a shot of Jack Daniels.
2) Chris Christie won't have any of us whacked.
1) If she thinks she's responsible for the victories, we will now know where Sarah Palin is at all times.

This is what kills me about "debating" these wingnuts: reality is lost on them.
Rather than rattle off a list of realities for drwingnut, I'll simply repeat but one.
Reality: In the only elections at a Federal, rather than State, level, Democrats added two more votes for health care reform.
And climate change legislation.
And immigration reform.
And repealing DADT.
And on and on.
And on.
Smile, wingnut.
Capt-no need to mention the irrelevant? LMAO! Then why would BO's staff parade BO out in public to support candidates that had "no chance" of winning, only to be made to look even more foolish after their dismal showing? The Democratic base is not motivated, you write? Looks like 1993...doesn't it? Ahhhh....I love the smell of burning donkeys in the morning...it smells like...victory.

There's no need to mention the irrelevant. The polling was rather clear. Obama's visits had little to do with the results, outside of making the races closer than they otherwise would've been by slightly energizing an otherwise unmotivated Democratic base disappointed in progress made by a Democratic Congress and Democratic President,
Capt#9-why did you fail to mention that BO campaigned for Corzine 5 times in NJ, and Deed 3 times in Virginia? Could it be because the "shine" is off your messiah...the luster gone from his ascendency? Yep...you bethcha!

There is no upbeat spin needed.
Last night was a landmark election, wherein a district in NY that hadn't been represented by a Democrat since the Civil War was descended upon a bunch of teabag-waving lunatics warning of a Socialist takeover by a Democratic President aided by a Democratic Congress... only to send another Democrat to Congress.
If that landmark resulting from fringe extremists hellbent on further destroying their Party is any sign of things to come, we can be pretty sure that Democrats will lose for fewer seats in 2010 than many suspect.
Keep it up, wingnut. Job well done.
Capt-nice try on the "upbeat spin on the elections, but i'm out of my Prozac" view of last night's landmark results. True, Hoffman didn't win, but he only entered the race a month ago. DeDe was exposed for the "worse than a RINO candidate" and Hoffman was outspent BIGTIME> But how about those Virginia elections? Or how about Corzine? LMAO! In a liberal State such as NJ, higher taxes, no jobs and a failing economy translated to the liberal tax and spend attitude being soundly rebuked. BlueDog Dems are huddling as we speak, trying to figure out what to do on the Health Care Debacle otherwise known as H.R. 3962. Nancy pelosi...if you're reading this...PLEASE push the vote next week...p-l-e-a-s-e! Cap and trade? You must be kidding! No jobs=a transcendant and transformational message to the WH..."your stimulus package was rammed down our throats and it isn't what you stated it was". Health care Reform? Nope...fix the economy first...and don't tell us that part of the economic fix IS the health care Package, because we know you're lying. How can you add +30M new subscribers to the list of the insured and expect there NOT to be rationing by the primary care docs that are too few and already overworked? Nope...Hope and Change has been replaced by Fear and Loathing which just last night was replaced by Vote and Reject in two States.

Teabagging wingnuts are almost too much to take.
They railed on and on about Democrats controlling Congress and turning America into a Socialist nation... even going so far as to send a bunch of teabaggers to NY to scream some more about it...
And then voters in NY decided to send yet ANOTHER Democrat to Congress.
Too funny.

Good one!
Top 10 reasons that liberals should/should not worry when the elections in NJ, NY and Virginia swing in favor of conservatism...
1) Arlen Specter is running as a Democrat next time.
2) Liberals can only blame George Bush for so much, in spite of what they'd love to do.
3) Rachel Maddow's ratings are already sucking wind...can they get much worse?
4) Jeremiah Wright's former church needs an assistant pastor...can somebody call Van Jones to see if he's available?
5) In spite of news to the contrary, there's enough tea bags still available in stores for even Janeane Garafalo's tea party at the White House.
6) Perhaps Rahm Emanuel can get a job at a local fish market after 2012.
7) Joe the Plumber, bolstered by polls that indicate he'd win by a landslide in Ohio against Sherrod Brown, decides instead that the sewage in Washington is more than one plumber can handle by himself and declines the nomination.
8) Chris Matthews decides the "thrill up his leg" was not because of anything Barry said in a speech, but a nasty draft in the PMSNBC newsroom.
9) Olbermann is hauled off his set in a frenzied convulsion, muttering incoherent passages about his "Ivy League" school degree, Bill O'Reilly being the cause of his ratings demise and something about his own mother being the worst person of the day.
10) After 3 more years of a teleprompter adept but empty suit, voters will be begging for Sarah Palin.
Corzine getting his job back at Goldman Sachs? Oh...THAT'S refreshing news! Do the names Geithner, Paulson Bernanke, Jim A. Johnson ring a bell? Johnson...once touted by John Kerry to be his Sec. of Treasury after leaving Fannie Mae, before Johnson was flagged for improper book keeping while at fannie. You remember Fannie Mae, don't you? That's the GSE that gauranteed the lenders safe havens for their shaky mortgages, while Johnson pocketed tens of millions in bonuses while cooking the books. Corzine getting his job back at Goldman is like giving John Gacy weekend furloughs to orphanages.
Great article, Ken...I really like your liberal spin on the sound denouncing of Obamanomics, including the aforementioned faux pas on your part, but the reference to Glenn Beck's recoveery. Real class act...but nothing that surprises me...just thought I'd point it out to your 3-4 readers...5 if you include me.
If the Republican wins the governorship in Virginia with a fraction of one percent of the entire population of our nation, and still a fraction of one percent of those who bother to vote, I think it is a clear mandate to return to the Bush policies of billionaires first, millionaires second and to hell with what is left.
So are you guys still on the air or are you a web page now?
I am not worried. I might be worried if the radicals continue to win.
I don't care nucg for Republicans either. Both parties are rife with corrution and full of crap.
Want change I can believe in- get rid of the corruption and dishonesty in government.
I'll believe THAT change when I see it!
