Just wow. I don’t even know where to start. I’ll try not to spend a lot of time on some of yeterday’s races because you all are politically astute enough to know without anybody telling you. I do,as always,have a bunch of opinions that I’ll try to share with you.
What happened to the polls? How biased are they? They were touting a half-dozen races that were supposedly too close to call. We’d been hearing the phony independent Greg Orman was going to defeat Pat Roberts in Kansas. Fortunately republican voters are smarter than that. Roberts won by eleven points.
Braley was supposedly tied with Joni Ernst. She whipped him by 8.
Michelle Nunn was supposedly going to beat Tom Cotton or at least force a January runoff. Cotton got 53%.
There may be a runoff as Ed Gillespie is neck and neck with favorite Mark Warner. He’d been given virtually no chance to win.
The three ladies I featured yesterday, Elyse Stefanik, Mia Love, and Joni Ernst ALL WON!
Right now Rush is talking about the #1 target of unions who they can’t defeat despite three tries in four years,Scott Walker,Wisconsin’s governor. Again,the polls showed the race was very close. All the democrat big guns including the Klintoons were there to whip up the rabble. All Walker did was do his job without whining or complaining. I hope he runs in 2016. (BoB- you need to share him with us,lady.)
The republicans were not elected to change the tone in DC. They weren’t elected to work with Obama to get things done. They were elected to STOP OBAMA! People are still seething about having Obamacare shoved down their throats. They bristle at the thought of this lop-eared cur granting executive amnesty to millions of illegal cockroaches. If they misinterpret why they’re there they will be gone in two years.
Liberals are whining that this election was an anti-incumbent election. They lost the governorships in Massachusetts,Maryland and Illinois. No,this was an anti-DEMOCRAT election. Calls have already started to ‘work together’ with the democrats who’ve been crapping all over them for six years. Funny how it only works one way.
The Clown Prince has called a presser for 2:50 EST today. Coincidentally,that’s the exact time Have Gun Will Travel comes on the Encore Western Channel. Pity. He’s also called the leaders of both parties to the Spite House Friday. The media will say it’s to tell them they all need to work together.
Bullshit. Obama doesn’t want to work with either party at this point. He don’t think he needs them to do whatever he wants to do. It will be more difficult now that Reid can’t protect his ass by stopping any bills from getting a vote in the Senate. He may even have to sign a few of them. But he’s dead set on making amnesty part of his legacy.
The people didn’t want Obamacare,they don’t want amnesty. That’s why yesterday happened.

Why Republicans Should Enjoy This Wave While They Can
So, yes, the Obama coalition is fraying. Obama did far worse among almost all demographics in 2012 than he did in 2008. There is little evidence that Obama voters will ever turnout for another Democrat at the same rate they did for Obama.
But the 2014 Republican wave has every likelihood of receding by 2016 as the 2010 wave did by 2014. If they are going to win in 2016, they are going to need a much better candidate than the one they fielded in 2012.

Election 2014 firsts
A historic night, from first female veteran elected to Senate to first black senator elected in South since Reconstruction
For the first time since 2006, Republicans on Tuesday took control of the U.S. Senate, with the GOP gaining at least seven seats to retake the majority. Republicans also expanded the party’s majority in the House, where the GOP will have the most seats since the Truman administration.
But there were plenty of other firsts on Election night. From the first female veteran voted into the Senate to the first black senator elected in the South since Reconstruction, it was a historic night. Below, some of the most notable firsts.

Obama Is Already Calling A Big Bipartisan Meeting At The White House For Friday
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama has invited Republican and Democratic leaders from both houses of Congress to a meeting at the White House on Friday, a White House official said.
The meeting will come in the aftermath of the midterm elections on Tuesday, which could shift control of the U.S. Senate to Republicans from Democrats.“The president has invited bipartisan, bicameral congressional leaders to a meeting at the White House on Friday afternoon,” the official said on Tuesday. “We’ll have more details later this week.”

Obama: ‘Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother’
The failure of some presidencies can be encapsulated in a phrase. Richard Nixon’s “I am not a crook” was one of them. Barack Obama provided us with another when he threatened a Congressman who was reluctant to vote for Obamacare with the taunt, “Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.”
And with that phrase Barack Obama laid bare the fundamental problem of his presidency: the idea that loyalty to Barack Obama trumped loyalty to American voters.
But, try as they might, they could not hide from their shameful histories and records.
They were sitting ducks before they became lame ducks. They were trapped, as Marc Thiessen wrote in Democrats can’t escape Obama.
They were trapped by Obama and his need for people to bend to his will — his aspiration to dominate.
Barack Obama’s ego and narcissism — his most dominant character traits (flaws, that is) would brook no opposition. Democrats had to vote in favor of all his policies or face retribution. This is what happens when a bully is president

Brain Dead Dem Voters In Washington State Elect Dead Man…
” alt=”” />
<img src="
Normally its the dead who vote for live dems…not the other way around.
The incumbent Democratic state Rep. Roger Freeman — one of two black representatives in the state legislature — died at the end of October at the age of 48. Around 15 percent of the district’s voters had already mailed in their ballots, and at the end of Election night he had a six-point-lead over his Republican opponent, Jack Dovey.
The death was so recent that most voters were simply unaware that it had happened, and voted for the incumbent or on a party line. Local news station KVAL spoke to one such person on Tuesday night.
Voter Steven Hinz cast a ballot for Freeman because he didn’t know the candidate had died.

I thought the “brain dead voters” headline was a little unfair, unless I’m missing something. Not that they aren’t, but that it’s understandable, regardless, that someone who dies just before the election should garner a lot of votes — especially the early votes.
But it does illustrate another reason to discourage early voting. Also, things like the news about who was working with the IRS to suppress conservatives, which news came out on election morning.

EXCLUSIVE — Conservatives To GOP Leaders: Don’t You Dare Reverse The Nuclear Option
” alt=”” />
<img src="
In a letter obtained first by The Daily Caller, about 20 conservative leaders are pleading with the GOP leadership in the Senate not to do away with the drastic rules put into place by Harry Reid in 2013.
“The decision by Senator Reid and his Democratic colleagues to deploy the so-called ‘nuclear option’ was transparently designed to facilitate the confirmation of judicial nominees who would insulate Obamacare and other aspects of President Obama’s agenda from meaningful judicial review,” the letter reads. “Regardless of their motives, we see very little upside and significant downside in reviving the judicial filibuster.”
In 2013, Senate Democrats — led by Reid, the Senate majority leader — took the drastic step of changing the body’s rules to prevent the minority party from being able to filibuster most of the president’s nominees.
Anybody taking bets?
