I expect that the Bamster is in a TV room with Rahm and Ax, the Wagyu steak dinner is done, and they are throwing back beers cursing at the TV and scheming the best spin (probably an elite limo-liberal microbrew).

Despite the talking points and Bill O missing the mark (HC Bill reason) we need only look at recent political history.
The obvious (glaringly) achilles heels of past democrat (aka secular socialist) presidents have been the economy and foreign policy.
Obama is a radical (not a liberal) so his performance in these areas has been worse than bad....just awful to be kind.
The trillions in new debt, the failure (DEMOCRAT congress since Jan. 2007) to stop job losses and the "bash blame America" rants do not make voters whose retirement funds are still six figures down after all the lofty platitudes (and serial blameshifting) the least bit happy.
Patriotism is not Party-specific. IRAs are not Party-specific. Pink slips are not Party-specific. Smiles and promises get stale. Blaming others gets stale. Trashing America gets stale. None of the Obama ploys pays your bills or gets you a job. Ten percent jobless is NEVER acceptable.
This voter attitude is based upon self-interest. The socialists will have their strawmen and talking points but the meltdown has only begun.
The HC Bill ($1.2 trillion) and Cap-N-Tax (trillions in new taxes) added to other (on the table) huge new taxes while letting tax cuts expire (to shrink paychecks) just means the voter anger will become a fiery rage.
Obama and his cronies have awakened the conservative movement like nothing else in years. Perhaps the R's will also catch on in time. The Voter Tsunami began tonight, and it will get stronger. It's tar and feathers time for Obama, Pelosi and Reid. The party is over.
No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.
The Tsunami hit the outer reaches of America (Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands?) tonight, it began to form on 19 Feb 09 when Rick Santelli threw a rock into Obama's pond.
BT, yes there's a big gay marriage issue today--the libs from all over the country have poured katrillions of dollars into the campaign. They are trying to overturn the one man, one woman definition here. Polls aren't closed yet, so we don't know the result. My wife is one of the voting clerks today, so I will be very anxious to hear her stories about what the scene was like when she gets home.
No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.
Well I just got back from casting my vote. Bloomberg will most likely continue being my Mayor for the next 4 years. Otherwise, I had only 4 or 5 other offices I voted for. Nothing really big.
Looking to see how Christie does in NJ. I want to see Corzine tossed out on his keister. If he loses I wonder if he will go after Lautenberg to get back into the Senate, the first office he bought. I remember reading back when Corzine first started running for Gov was that the reason he was doing it was because he felt he did not have enough power as a Senator. What a frigging POS. Does not care about the people or the issues, just wants power.
And of course GO HOFFMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER
The Democratic Party is expendable. The real power of these Marxists lies behind the scenes. They could give up all fifty states and the entire Congress over the next few years, but I believe that by then it won't matter.
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
It is a good night to be a Republican...a better night to be a conservative.
McDonnell crushes Deeds by 20%, Christie up by 5 with 44% in, NY23 still to come but based on the way the polls have missed on the other races looks like it could be a big win for Hoffman.
Reid saying Healthcare may be pushed to next year in the Senate.
Not quite ready to pop the champagne but I think ObamaCare is now on life support. Is there a plot left next to Teddy?
2012 campaign slogan - "Carter got his 2nd term, NOW can we move on?"
But I am still not convinced that Christie will pull this off...The corrupt NJ Dem/lib machine will do ANYTHING to make sure that Corzine wins, honestly or not. As for the NY23 race, it does look good for Hoffman, but that race has been such a roller coaster, who knows?
We'll see.

Don't get too fired up over Christie's lead in NJ. The big inner-city democratic machines that handle the bigtime cheating in elections typically slow their returns so they have a clue how much to cheat. You don't want your candidate to win by a ridiculous margin, that might attract too much attention.
Drudge seems to be the best source of numbers in NJ. The NJ SOS site is a disaster to navigate.
They haven't figure out how many absentee ballots they'll need. Switch over to V or a ball game (too bad there's no pro baseball or football on tonight, and college b-ball hasn't started--dang) or a CSI rerun. Come back at 11:00 to see if they figure out how many ballots to deliver.
After reading that ACORN has sent people into the state to "help" out with the election, one has to wonder how many votes they're capable of manufacturing? I know the answer. As many as it takes.
The Minnesota election proved the value of ACORN. I have little doubt that Franken won because of ACORN and, with Democrats in Congress, there will never be an investigation. Can you say, "Secretary of State Project"?
Election 2008-God's way of showing us that elections count.
Your ACORN comment is very interesting. If ACORN hadn't been so publically exposed (finally) as a corrupt organization specializing in voter fraud, they might have been more in force today.

Funny, the race everyone thought would go easily to Conservatives is shaping up to be the one the Dems win.
Meanwhile, looks like Bloomburg has a race on his hands, leading 49%-48%. with 46% of the vote in.
Edit:
Just want to add, my city just elected a Republican mayor. I can't remember the last time that happened. This city has been dominated by Democrats for decades, and has paid for it in spades, so this is a welcome change. Not expecting much to change though.
That looks like the hot race, surprise. NBC had called for Bloom and has now backed off the call, how embarrassing for them. I heard earlier today that Bloomie had outspent his opponent 10:1, his own money of course.
One of the counties, Fulton Co... next county up from mine, has impounded their voting machines at the courthouse hand them over in the morning. Fulton Co is strongly, strongly Republican. St Lawernce Co had some problem with their machines so we're waiting on them too. He can still pull this out but it could be a squeaker.
Seriously, I do hope that there isn't another shoe out there that hasn't been dropped yet...I'm thinking not, since this race was called fairly quickly. Independents went big time for Christie, and that's what made the difference I think.
"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan
I hear ya, but I think we have reason for real hope. If many Americans have finally caught onto Obama and crew, I think their memories will be long. I'm finally feeling like we are finally getting somewhere. It's that "wake up call" aspect. That said, conservatives have to stay in the fight -- no question about it.
But for tonight, I'm gonna get carried away and bask in the hope. :)
Like you, I think, and I hope, that tonight is the beginning of the turn in the road...Maybe all those who checked their brains at the door last November, have come out of their fog and are finally seeing things clearly. Time will tell.
Fingers crossed.
"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan
For what it's worth, the Hoffman people are saying, according to the data they've seen, they believe they have the votes to win. Owens lead down to 3%.
Everybody's been peeing up a rope about the NY 23 Fava Bean election. So you'd think it would be on the front of everybody's website, right? Nope.
I've been looking through the Fox News site, CNN, WaPo, WaTimes, NYT ... just one small report on CNN, and it was confusing. They report that the tally is Hoffman-43%, Owens-52%, but they are running a description that says: "With only 21 percent of precincts reporting, Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman leads Democrat Bill Owens."
Good site. If you look county by county, and if in-county trends continue, the remaining votes will be apportioned in such a way to make a Hoffman win impossible. Oswego and Oneida are pro-Hoffman, but will be cancelled by St.Lawence Owens gains.
It's too bad, really. I did say yesterday it would be close, and that there was no way this was a 17 point race, and I thought it would be tough for Hoffman to win it. I was hoping he would, but I won't be surprised if he loses. He's not a very well-spoken dude, and he doesn't come across as very bright. Like it or not, that matters.
It's too bad, really. The local republicans lost this seat, not Hoffman.
Sky and others I heard that as well from
Corzine regarding his Mom....
He said something like "she's 93 and a repub and I think she'll move beyond that." (I'm paraphrasing here, but if this had been reversed with party...OMG...I can already hear it)
It was crass...no matter what.
'Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea'~Breitbart
Turn on CNN. The word "somber" doesn't do it justice. LOL. Quite the contrast to the on-air weeping and rejoicing a year ago when they got their big feel good moment with Barry.
I'm sure tomorrow NBC will officially declare the people of VA and NJ to be "racist".
There is a big white elephant in the room in the 23rd!
The liberal RINO has 6% of the vote! And she endorsed the Democrat! WHICH MEANS...6% of the electorate didn't know she was not in the race! Add that 6% to Hoffman and you got a close race!
"The bureaucracy is growing to meet the needs of the growing bureaucracy"
Despite FIVE visits from Obama, several from Slick Willy, and the nearly constant presence of Joe Biden, the Dems here in New Jersey have LOST!!!
Goodbye Corzine! And good riddance! And although Obama will try to spin this, the message is clear:
The CHANGE everyone wanted wasn't what they've been getting, and they are willing to KEEP ON CHANGING!!!!!!!!
Hopefully, seeing how effective Obama's support was for Corzine, members of both houses of Congress will now start distancing themselves from the big O in order to save their careers. The magic has evaporated, and New Jersey is the proof nobody will want to admit, but there it is...
And, in case you have some time on Thursday, JOIN THE RALLY IN WASHINGTON TO PROTEST THE VOTE FRIDAY ON THE HEALTHCARE BILL - see your local Tea Party website, or the Americans for Prosperity. We started out to fill 4 busses, and we have TWELVE! See you in DC at noon on Thursday!
Despite the heartbreaking loss in NY-23, the significant victories in Virginia and New Jersey are the just the beginning of a real change in progress. The left sustained two major defeats at the hands of conservatives, and they sent a message to Barack Hussein Obama-Mmm mmm mmm! And that message is simple...your free ride is over.
Just imagine, if you will, if the governorships in all 50 states were held tonight.
Winning the New Jersey race was our Doolittle's Raid. We took the war to their back yard and inflicted some damage.
Hey, Barack H. Obama=Mmm mmm mmm!....WE won. Just wait exactly one year from now.
Awake the sleeping giant...and that giant is WE THE PEOPLE!

Just want to add, my city just elected a Republican mayor. I can't remember the last time that happened. This city has been dominated by Democrats for decades, and has paid for it in spades, so this is a welcome change. Not expecting much to change though.
Re Bloomie
November 3, 2009 - 22:28 ET by slickwillie2001That looks like the hot race, surprise. NBC had called for Bloom and has now backed off the call, how embarrassing for them. I heard earlier today that Bloomie had outspent his opponent 10:1, his own money of course.

November 3, 2009 - 22:23 ET by ThisnThatProblem is -- obama didn't campaign for Hoffman's opponent, Owens, so Owens still has a chance to win.

NY 23
November 3, 2009 - 22:55 ET by TheAssessorOne of the counties, Fulton Co... next county up from mine, has impounded their voting machines at the courthouse hand them over in the morning. Fulton Co is strongly, strongly Republican. St Lawernce Co had some problem with their machines so we're waiting on them too. He can still pull this out but it could be a squeaker.
Smart Move.
November 3, 2009 - 23:03 ET by Dan DiegoKeep the machines out of the crooks hands to ensure the people speak, regardless of the outcome.

Me too...I expected this...
November 3, 2009 - 22:31 ET by PrairieSkyto go into the wee hours before it was called by anybody. Great news though, especially from deep blue NJ...I had my doubts how this would go.
Christie's gonna have his hands full dealing with all those undoubtedly hostile Dems/libs...

Radical...LOL!
November 3, 2009 - 22:37 ET by PrairieSkySeriously, I do hope that there isn't another shoe out there that hasn't been dropped yet...I'm thinking not, since this race was called fairly quickly. Independents went big time for Christie, and that's what made the difference I think.

November 3, 2009 - 23:00 ET by Georgia GirlI hear ya, but I think we have reason for real hope. If many Americans have finally caught onto Obama and crew, I think their memories will be long. I'm finally feeling like we are finally getting somewhere. It's that "wake up call" aspect. That said, conservatives have to stay in the fight -- no question about it.
But for tonight, I'm gonna get carried away and bask in the hope. :)
So...woohoo!

Fingers crossed.

November 3, 2009 - 22:57 ET by ckc1227For what it's worth, the Hoffman people are saying, according to the data they've seen, they believe they have the votes to win. Owens lead down to 3%.
Any strange sightings from Area 23?
November 3, 2009 - 22:57 ET by CO2MakerEverybody's been peeing up a rope about the NY 23 Fava Bean election. So you'd think it would be on the front of everybody's website, right? Nope.
I've been looking through the Fox News site, CNN, WaPo, WaTimes, NYT ... just one small report on CNN, and it was confusing. They report that the tally is Hoffman-43%, Owens-52%, but they are running a description that says: "With only 21 percent of precincts reporting, Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman leads Democrat Bill Owens."
Say wha-a-a?
So, is any news website covering NY23?

Re NY-23
November 3, 2009 - 23:13 ET by slickwillie2001Good site. If you look county by county, and if in-county trends continue, the remaining votes will be apportioned in such a way to make a Hoffman win impossible. Oswego and Oneida are pro-Hoffman, but will be cancelled by St.Lawence Owens gains.
Should be called for Owens shortly.
It's too bad, really. I did
November 3, 2009 - 23:56 ET by ckc1227It's too bad, really. I did say yesterday it would be close, and that there was no way this was a 17 point race, and I thought it would be tough for Hoffman to win it. I was hoping he would, but I won't be surprised if he loses. He's not a very well-spoken dude, and he doesn't come across as very bright. Like it or not, that matters.
It's too bad, really. The local republicans lost this seat, not Hoffman.
Quote of the night:

and he thanked Daggett...
November 3, 2009 - 23:07 ET by Dan Diegoand he thanked Daggett...
Corzine got that...

Sorry about that,
November 3, 2009 - 23:17 ET by BarkerI was just kidding about the "quote". I didn't hear the whole speech. I did hear Corzine throw his mother under the bus, though.
Yea, what was that about?

November 4, 2009 - 01:36 ET by bigtimerSky and others I heard that as well from
Corzine regarding his Mom....
He said something like "she's 93 and a repub and I think she'll move beyond that." (I'm paraphrasing here, but if this had been reversed with party...OMG...I can already hear it)
It was crass...no matter what.

November 4, 2009 - 00:56 ET by JohnMDespite FIVE visits from Obama, several from Slick Willy, and the nearly constant presence of Joe Biden, the Dems here in New Jersey have LOST!!!
Goodbye Corzine! And good riddance! And although Obama will try to spin this, the message is clear:
The CHANGE everyone wanted wasn't what they've been getting, and they are willing to KEEP ON CHANGING!!!!!!!!
Hopefully, seeing how effective Obama's support was for Corzine, members of both houses of Congress will now start distancing themselves from the big O in order to save their careers. The magic has evaporated, and New Jersey is the proof nobody will want to admit, but there it is...
And, in case you have some time on Thursday, JOIN THE RALLY IN WASHINGTON TO PROTEST THE VOTE FRIDAY ON THE HEALTHCARE BILL - see your local Tea Party website, or the Americans for Prosperity. We started out to fill 4 busses, and we have TWELVE! See you in DC at noon on Thursday!
I suddenly have more HOPE than I used to have!!
Let's not stop there...
November 4, 2009 - 03:17 ET by AgentAmericanDespite the heartbreaking loss in NY-23, the significant victories in Virginia and New Jersey are the just the beginning of a real change in progress. The left sustained two major defeats at the hands of conservatives, and they sent a message to Barack Hussein Obama-Mmm mmm mmm! And that message is simple...your free ride is over.
Just imagine, if you will, if the governorships in all 50 states were held tonight.
Winning the New Jersey race was our Doolittle's Raid. We took the war to their back yard and inflicted some damage.
Hey, Barack H. Obama=Mmm mmm mmm!....WE won. Just wait exactly one year from now.
Awake the sleeping giant...and that giant is WE THE PEOPLE!
