Just an FYI about NJ, I've been paying attention to Wisconsin tonight, but I saw a Tweet about NJ:

Quote
Pascrell supported by B.Clinton trounces Rothman, first in '08 for BO over Hillary. So where was BO supporting pro-Israel Rothman? Oh I see.

Pascrell was endorsed by Clinton, Rothman was endorsed by Obama, Rothman lost.

Quite the contrary.  DU came into being in response to President Bush 43's inauguration.  Obama loses, DU surges.

Omaha Steve loses in May. Scott Walker crushes it in June. A good time to be a rethug! 

By the way. Attention ALL republican governors: you got a green light. Time to rein in the public sector unions. Start with health care. Then mandatory dues. Time to clean house.

You know our communist governor actually did a modified version of this already a year ago - he forced public unions to drop Cadillac health insurance policies to either join the Group Insurance Commission (which is a group of private insurance carriers who belong to a clearinghouse that offer health insurance plans to municipalities for low prices), or find a plan where the premiums are just as low.    The unions lost their minds, but it sailed through the state house.       He also tackled pension reform.      Is it what Wisconsin did?  nope, but for a heavily blue state it is a significant hit to union power. 

So why am I mentioning it?   because you don't have to be a Republican governor to move forward with reform.    If MA can do it at some level, anyone can pull it off.

Dandy Andy Cuomo is attempting to do it in NY.  With his approval ratings, he'll likely succeed.

248. Theres something wrong here

I mean the polls indicated a few points difference before election and I could see 1 or 2 % points but no...There was just too much grass roots effort going forward and with such a high voter turn out for this kind of outcome with such a high margin of vivtory...There is something wrong.. Money buys votes or money destroys votes and just maybe the Koch Bros were playing both ends of the field.
 ..When the corporate media talks about exit polling,I remember in 2000 and 2004(ohio) that Repukes were saying.."exit polling just doesn't mean much and not accurate"..And now the polls barely close and these right wing hacks report a victory from results of exit polling....Strange.....



Hellooooo!!!!...this is reality calling....the only pre-election poll in the last week that showed what you wanted to see was an obviously cooked PPP poll designed to raise Dem enthusiasm. All the others, especially the late ones which show where the undecideds are going, showed Walker trending from high single digits and even into the teens.

Wow. Flat-out freaking delusional.

True, but I think that with the various purges that have taken place at the DUmp over the years along with the howlers running some (relatively) sane posters away we are going to see the DUmp implode after election night this November.  They have a nasty habit of eating each other when things like this happen but lately it has been at a fever pitch.

I don't think the DUmp has any of the cohesiveness left that they had in 04.

Yeah, but there is so much bad blood between all of those various groups and, with no real moderation of the board, they have been taking each other out with great efficiency.

I see your point, Wasp, but the DUmmies are happy as a pig in shit only when they're miserable.  They love a good eye-scratching, hair-pulling fight amongst themselves.  If king zero loses in November, I don't think you could blast them off that island.

Yeah, it might.  The biggest difference I am noticing is that this isn't just a setback, it was everything.  They poured so much of themselves into it that they are completely crushed right now and very demoralized.  If this was a true tactical situation, we could roll in and mop them up in a day.

Problem for them is I don't think that this loss will be the last bit of bad news until November.  It's just going to get worse until the little animals eat each other completely.  When McCain lost, we weren't that distraught.  It was bad but not the end of the world so we worked until we got momentum back in 2010.  Barry big ears is/was their savior and they put everything on him and convinced themselves he was going to change it all in one election cycle (not that he didn't sell himself as that, mind you).  Because of that savior mentality, I think the DUmmies have more in common with the ronbots than any other group.  The ronbots are doing the same thing they did in 08 and Dr Nutz's final flame out will be almost as fun to watch as Barrett's.

That's why I believe the DUmp won't be around long after November.  The head hanging and desperation over there is worse than I personally have ever seen.  Maybe the little goons will pull themselves out of it, I dunno, but I just don't see it happening.

No, it is real. And when you woke up this morning it was real. And it's going to go on being real. Sucks to be you, huh?

Now take a few more (or a lot of, the world will not notice your disappearance) sleeping pills and go back to bed.
