Sigh. I hate to say this but I think there are going to be recounts. :wallbash:

Oh geez, the question is...how many?

 

 

Just the ones where R's won

Dolly, in WA state, Rossi won the governorship...on election night..the 1st recount...the 2nd recount...and thenon the 3rd recount..he lost. pffft. will probably be the same in this election for Senate.

House gains 65+

 

sweet.

 

Dems sweep elections in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts. Because we clearly need to lose more jobs and more businesses.

 

I am looking up the ballot question results.

Ballot questions in Massachusetts - yes to repeal the sales tax on alcohol; no to rolling back sales tax to 3%, no to repealing housing law that gives preferential treatment to developers of low income housing (not rental).

Yahoooooo!

 

I'm back after a power nap!

 

Riding a nationwide wave of voter discontent, state Republican leaders said Tuesday that the party had seized control of the state General Assembly for the first time in more than a century.

 

And the one that thrills me... Arrogant DEM Congressman Bob Ethridge goes down. He's the one that assaulted the conservative student who dared question his support of Obamacare.

How is the tea party destroyed? They brought the local elections to big wins....House and governorships.

From the commentators on Fox, the TP backed Angle and O'Donnell, and since they lost, it means the TP is a failure and destroyed itself.

 

*LOL* They have another thing coming. The Tea Party Patriots saved the GOP from itself and will now hold their feet to the fire. And then - wait til that huge swath of 'Rats in the Senate comes up for election in 2012!

... and the CNN beat goes on with their Headline Focus on race.

 

No African-Americans in next U.S. Senate

By: CNN Special Correspondent Soledad O'Brien

 

New York (CNN) – Despite record election achievements by African-Americans in the House, the United States Senate will not have an African-American in its ranks.

 

All three black Senate candidates, Kendrick Meek (D-FL), Alvin Greene (D-SC) and Mike Thurmond (D-GA) are projected to lose tonight. The only incumbent black senator, Roland Burris (D-IL), is retiring.

 

Only six black senators have served: three Republicans and three Democrats, including the future President Barack Obama (D-IL).

 

There have been 118 voting members of Congress who are African-American. This year the GOP has 14 African-Americans on the ballot, any one of which could become the first black Republican in the house since 2003.

There are 41 African-American Democrats in Congress of which most are running in majority black districts. CNN projects Alabama sent its first African-American woman to Congress tonight with the election of Terri Sewell in the state's 7th district. She is a Democrat.

Well, Valin (and Nickydog's family up there) should have a happy morning:

The Minn. GOP won both the House and the Senate!! WOOHOO

Take that Al Franken and George Soros!

 

As for NCT's headline:

New Senate Will Have No African-Americans (Nevermind the 14 black Republicans who ran for the House)

 

 

and

 

Voters ban judges from using international law [& Sharia, Muslims prepare lawsuit, OKlahoma]

 

There is hope!There is hope afloat in America.
