Just another thought on the elections tonight.

Heard on the radio on the drive home this evening that “Health Care Reform is Dead” this year – that congress has elected (pun intended) to put it off for a while.

Wonder if these election results had anything to do with the change of heart over something they considered so urgent during the 2008 election cycle????

Chris,

Not “really victories at all”?

I am still not sure what the final tally will come to, and a democrat could certainly pull out a win – but IF democrats were sweeping these elections in NY, NJ, and VA, then we’d be hearing about how the GOP is toast.

As it is, democrats are left sniffing that these are insignificant events….

A Democrat hasn’t won NY-23 since 1859. But keep celebrating the small victories. Even when they aren’t really victories at all.

That man is as dumb as a box of hammers. I am in Kandahar Afghanistan, trying like hell to avoid Biden because he is coming to “visit the troops”. I am trying to avoid him because a) he’s Joe Biden and b) we are working like hell trying to kill terrorist. I go to the head to do my business and as I am standing there, guess who walks in and stands next to me? Joe freakin’ Biden! And he
tries to make small talk! In my head the little voice goes “STFU will you”. Damn that was a long day.

I think it’s odd how Shepard Smith refuses to pronouce Scozzafava’s name correctly. He always says Scozzafaza with a certain gleem in his eye.

Hoffman appears to be opening up his lead.

And isn’t that a beautiful thing? 😉

They used to love to label GW Bush as “Orwellian”. Joe Lieberman anyone? Down the memory hole.

Like everything else liberals believe at the time they believe it, I think they actually close that space that includes Lieberman behind a shield that snaps open only when they need it, then snaps firmly shut when it’s inconvenient.

Because there is really a lot of out side the box thinking in the democratic party right now… thats why they’re voting en mass to take over health care and destroy private insurance.

They sent in Biden. What a stupid move.
