Republicans Take NJ & Virginia Governor Races

Well, I hate to be the one to break it to Oblioman, but I told you this was going to happen. This is just the beginning of things to come. The backlash against Obama & his cronies has begun.

Shhh!!!! Don't tell Obama, he doesn't know yet. He doesn't watch the elections...

tcarcio · 11-04-2009, 09:37 AM

Well you know that Obama would play this down and say it doesn't matter. If the Dem's won it would have been the best thing that ever happened. Besides the Prez was to busy watching himself on HBO but he isn't full of himself.............much.....

Very glad to see that the people of NJ voted out corrupt special interest groups. This is definitely not the norm for political elections. The winner was out spent by a magnitude but still managed to win. The incumbent had years to do something about the corruption but was not very successful. Let us hope this is a trend. People of Illinois should take notice.

It doesn't really matter.

The question remains, does this have any predictive value for the large number of elections coming in 11/2010?

For a clue, we can also look at the 23'rd district in upstate NY, where a very right wing Republican forced out a more moderate republican with the mantra of taking the GOP back from any moderates.

Result, the democrat Owens won in a district that had not voted democratic in like a century. And if a radical right Republican can't win in a district where 62% of the voters are registered Republican, it sends an even grimmer message in more competitive districts. After all, republican registration is now mired at 20-23% nationwide.

And because the congressional elections of 11/2010 will be more focused on an overall Democratic or Republican agenda nationally, and with the GOP increasingly likely to go the far right, the GOP may get another drubbing for the third election cycle in a row.

The other point to make is that in Virgina and New Jersey, it was mainly registered independent voters that put GOP moderates over the top. Since independent registered voters will have no inputs in selecting GOP congressional candidates in 2010, the independent voters may not like the GOP who run too far to the right. I also predict the nation will soon tire of a GOP that stands for nothing but obstructionism. And as the opening primaries of 2010 dawn , all politicians will be under increasing pressure to show the voters what they have done in 2009. If it only lights a fire under the butts of blue dog democrats, it will be enough to break the gridlock.

Time will tell, but the GOP is now betting it all and their entire viability on the outcome. And could well make it into the list of endangered species list post 11/2010.

this be absolutely horrible

what do we have now,,,2 more republican governors. Big deal. What's the ratio,,,something like 28 democratic governors to 22 republican?? The bigger issue for the GOP is the fight between the conservatives and the moderates, essentially particulating an already particulated base. It's kind of fun watching the republican party disintegrate,,,live on FOX news.

What's the matter O? Too busy watching "American Idol" or "I think I can dance"? Obviously not paying attention to what's happening to the country. Life's all about priorities!

Are you reading from the DNC talking points? Let's just pretend that two Governor's who Obama spent more time campaigning for than he has spent with Generals now waging two wars combined, and got trounced never happened.

No more "very right wing" than the present health bill is very left wing.

Actually liked last season's Idol,,,except me was rooting for Irahita,,,that girl can sing!!! And yes, me does pay attention to whats happening in America. In particular,,,2 stupid wars,,,unemployment,,and yes me priorities have changed since the last year of the Bush regime pretty much wiped out me savings. Not blaming him,,,just the policies surrounding him. Both sides be at fault for that. Just think it's funny how the ultra-radical right is grasping at two Governorships,,somehow thinking it will right the ship and take sail. The only thing that would make it better is to put Palin in a skimpy cheerleader outfit and do the jiggly. Wonder if FOX would cover a wardrobe malfunction???

tcarcio · 11-04-2009, 03:03 PM

Sorry O, but it is a telltale sign when Dems get upset they go on the attack and start picking on the old stanby's in Bush and Palin. I can see the veins in your forehead bulging.......
