I remember a time, back in the late 90s, when I thought nonsense like this mattered somewhat more than I do now. Now I see well-educated people yammering about the birth control choices of their daughters, or gay marriage, and I think they are morons.

Dems make late push to save Weiner's seat

Sweet Jesus, the New York Special Election is a nail-biter! I'm on pins and needles awaiting the returns.

Weaver -- Wednesday, September 14, 2011 -- 03:44:24 AM -- 23 of 506

Don't forget how amazing it is that it is actually in play.

In the darkness of barbarism men knew the truth without the facts. In the twilight of half-civilization, they saw the truth illuminating the facts. In the full blaze and radiance of complete civilization they found all the facts and lost the truth forever

Looks like Turner (R) is going to win. He's carrying Brooklyn almost 70 to 30, and about 1/3 of those precincts are in. Weprin looks stronger in Queens, but only slightly, and more than 2/3 of those precincts are in.

AP just called it for Turner.

Turner wins special election in huge upset

Incredible.

The spin, it's making me dizzy.

Weaver -- Wednesday, September 14, 2011 -- 02:00:17 PM -- 28 of 506

And the GOP candidate is a 70 year old with no previous elective experience.

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

tying Weprin to the surprisingly unpopular commander-in-chief at every turn.

Heh. Another spotting of 'surprisingly' in the wild.

“Even before the polls closed, the recriminations – something short of panic, and considerably more than mere grumbling – had begun. On a high-level campaign conference call Tuesday afternoon, Democratic donors and strategists commiserated over their disappointment in Obama. A source on the call described the mood as ‘awful.’ ‘People feel betrayed, disappointed, furious, disgusted, hopeless,’ said the source.” What is especially significant is that Jewish voters now number among the betrayed, disappointed, furious, disgusted and hopeless.

Oh yes, Obama has a Jewish problem

Sterling Dingleberry -- Thursday, September 15, 2011 -- 01:52:30 AM -- 31 of 506
Jesus loves liberals. However, the rest of us know they're total assholes.

Huge humiliation for President Failure and the rest of the criminally-corrupt regime last night.

The tard-libs can spin it however they goddamn want.

Those assholes just got a fucking mud-hole stomped through them in both NY and NV.

Tough shit.

Democratic NC Gov calls for suspending elections for two years

Says she was joking, but audiotape contradicts her.

Not dangerous, just stupid.

After the power to choose a man wants the power to erase. --Stephen Dunn

Warren, barely into her campaign for US Senate, surges to even with Brown in MA

"There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience. And then there is California.” -- Edward Abbey

Brown has his hands full. Warren's a serious competitor, and Massachusetts is a dark blue state where Republicans usually need all the help they can get just to make it close.

On the flip side, Brown couldn't ask for a better political environment in which to run as a Republican. Even if he loses, it's likely the GOP will still pick up four or five Senate seats.

Shuler to retire

Am I the only one who sees parallels to the 1972 election, but in mirror image: the Republicans are the Democrats and vice versa?

What, the Democrats will win going away?

Yep. I think you're pretty much the only one.

RiverMark -- Friday, March 02, 2012 -- 02:12:48 PM -- 40 of 506

Well, if I am the only one who sees the parallels between the current election and the one in 1972 then I should be in line for some type of award, or at least a certificate. Because, history is on a repeat cycle and it wouldn't take Hunter Thompson to point it out...
