I wish they'd wake up Al Sharpton.  He's always entertaining.

They seem to be doing their best without him. All MSNBC is interested in is exit poll racial demographics.

     Ah, DUmmy denial. More entertaining than a Three Stooges episode.

     You were warned this was coming, DUmbasses. Drink it in.

PCIntern dissing WV's other senator:

PCIntern (15,353 posts)

Oh Horseshit...
Senator Manchin lecturing us on how no matter who's in charge of the Senate we are all going to have to work together,

Note carefully that you never hear Republicans making statements like these: they say, we're in charge no get the **** out of the way or we're gonna run you the **** over. Make no mistake about it: you lost now you are gonna die. And Democrats do just that...

Democrats…all the way back to Coolidge, continuous political masturbation…pissed away the whole 2008 victory.

Dummie better watch out... Manchin might be paying him a visit. It is quietly believed in some parts of WV that Joe Manchin has ties to the mob. Personally I think it is BS... but what do I know? I do know he is more conservative than most dems. Can't stand him. I met him a couple of times and he is an arrogant asshole.

[Mr Mannn]

I just checked in on Occupy Wallstreet forums...Nuthin. No poll watching, nuthin.
Haven't been there in a year. They don't support either party, they want a violent revolution that puts THEM in charge.

If they post anything at all (thats interesting), I'll bring it here. Sigh. I'm reminded why I haven't visited in a year.

Ok, everyone, take a deep breath.
It's gonna be a long, long night, and Republican votes tend to come in early. Now, frankly, if networks feel safe calling a race, that's generally pretty accurate. But don't freak out about races with 2% in- it means little.

being tied right this moment:


13 of 120 Counties Reporting

Alison Lundergan GRIMES DEM

The DUmp is stirred up even more than two years ago.

Warner too early to call?! Looks like a bloodbath tonight.

Incredible, stupid voters. Yes, they are stupid for giving any Republican more power.

Also, MSNBC has gotten Sharpton out of bed, gave him his injection of vitamins and Red Bull, so he is now in full on Honkey Hatin' mode !

Too bad for the primitives.

DWS needs to step down NOW !!
Win or lose tonight - no matter what the results - we could have done a hell of a lot better !

We had to rely on Bill Maher (only one I know) to tout Obama's numerous achievements to the masses.

Any party leader worth their salt would have compiled a list of achievements and sent it to every single frickin Dem to constantly throw to the press.

We let the right define that Obama failed. Most Dems co-opted. The idea has reached critical mass. But it is not true ! And even the press doesn't challenge

DWS should step down and we need a true PR genius type with a great organizationally skilled team to take full and complete charge.

Now that voting is over, it is time to call out all the chickensh*t dems who
refuse to tout the accomplishments of the President in their states and districts and stayed silent during this projected slaughter.

What really scares the $#*! out of me is the budget.
Well, yes, the Supreme Court and other appointments, too, but...

with both houses of Congress the repukes could pass a budget that zeroes out any and all social spending. No more SNAP. No more Section 8. Etc., etc., ad nauseam.

Oh FFS! Not just a drama queen but an absolutely stupid one at that.

From Twitter -

White House official: President Obama invites bipartisan, bicameral congressional leaders to a meeting at the White House on Friday afternoon' - @ZekeJMiller


Looks like The One has already written off Senate Dems and now wants 'bipartisan' action. - Isn't it funny ?  When Dems own the House, Senate, and Presidency, 'Bipartisan' Repubs need not apply. Now however...

Call me naive/partisan/insulated/etc., but I still can't figure out what people are voting against.
This is supposed to be a referendum on the president, and not necessarily an endorsement of the Geriatric Oligarchy Party. OK, but where's the beef?

The economy is improving; of course the long climb out of the Great Recession has been quicker for Wall St. than it has been for employment, a lagging indicator in any economy, but you mean to tell me a majority of the American people now trust Republicans on the economy? On what grounds?

We soundly rejected Cowboy Diplomacy in 2006 and 2008 after two failed wars, and reelected the president a year after removing our troops from Iraq. You mean to tell me a majority of the American people now trust Republicans on foreign affairs? What for? We're not "tough enough"? Do we trust Republicans to win a war in two countries we cannot control, with allies we cannot trust, who are fighting a religious civil war we cannot understand? Are we supposed to go to war with Russia? The Washington Post opinion section is almost daily filled with pearl-clutching articles about how scarily "detached" the president is, because supposedly the preferable norm is to flip our shit and lash out without thinking; that's leadership. Do voters agree?

Opposition to the Affordable Care has slowed to a trickle, at least measured by press treatment. And now, a year into the employer mandate implementation, Republicans will have to explain how to replace the coverage of millions who have ACA-backed coverage - at least, I hope they'll have to. That hinges on covered persons knowing they're actually benefitting from the program, and I'd bet a good chunk of them are the "I've never asked for a government handout" types on SS disability/Medicare/etc.

So, what exactly is the complaint against the president? I understood 2006 - bogged down in an Iraqi civil war, fresh off the response to Katrina, spending 2005 trying to privatize Social Security...all reasons to flip the legislature. But in 2014 I just don't see a) what's going wrong, or at least b) how it's the president's fault. What's gnawing at the average voter?

2. Fox "News" disinformation has them thinking the sky is falling

In their bizzaro world, you would not know about the economic recovery, reduced deficit, and lower unemployment.

Obamacare is not the Affordable Care Act, either.

3. That is the medias bullshit. Let's face it, most of the states up this election are red states.

every since nixon's scorched earth policy, the red states have gone republican. They didn't appreciate Johnson's civil right act, which also speaks volumes

4. North Carolina for one...

do you realize that Hagen was a top GOP target??? She has only been ahead in the polls by 1-3 points and she is performing better than that.

KY & ARK were long shots. So far nothing has been too surprising. Odds are we will win FL Gov, too.

Yep. Dean is the ticket!!!  Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!

CNN calling Arkansas for Cotton but Pryor currently leads.
54% to 44% with 8% reporting.

If CNN is wrong I hope they learn to STFU with their prognostication.
