    The fact that the majority of the mainstream media is so quiet about the implications of the Republicans wins. Had the Dems won you know they would all be spouting about how it was more proof that America loves Obama. Since they didn't, all of a sudden the Governors races aren't important and are no reflection of how the electorate feels.
    Interesting to say the least.

    Hoffman losing in NY-23

    If there was more time Hoffman would have one as 7,300 Republicans still voted for a candidate that had dropped out so obviously some didn't get the message and Republicans normally vote conservatives. Good news is they vote again in less than a year.

    No surprises for me, the country believes in Freedom, not socialism. The gay marriage amendments have always failed when "the" people are allowed to vote on it, no surprise here either, in our hearts we still have morals.

    I was disappointed in NY's 23rd but that was a clusterfcuk from the beginning.

    I figured the welfare state of Maine would be a queer haven like the other New England states. I hope they remain steadfast against it.

    Please don't call Maine a "queer haven" I have 2 sisters-in-law and a brother-in-law and lots of nieces and nephews there. One of my sisters-in-law ran for state assembly 2 years ago as a conservative republican. At the time she lost but I really appreciate her taking the chance.

    I hoped Hoffman would win, but as close as it was particularly with all of the chips stacked against him it should serve as a wake up call to the GOP. Stop giving us liberals with an R next to their name.

    I guess there are still some die-hard demon-possessed socialists in that district who ignorantly assume Obama's socialism and "free" health care (NOT free, paid for by taxpayers, NOT Obama) are worth supporting the same damned Democrats.

    I wonder why would Obama visit election rallies in New Jersey like 7 times and in Virginia like 5 times? Probably because it didn't matter at all, and he just had nothing better to do.

    Didn't you know?

    When a Democrat wins, it is referendum by the people.

    When a Republican wins, it is Astroturf campaign, and voters are bought by special interests.

    So, 23rd district is the referendum by the people who clearly prefer Democrats, and Virginia and New Jersey are bought by special interests.

    Ooops, almost forgot, you also have to blame Bush and praise wisdom of Obama in both cases.

    Here in Colorado Springs, we had two 'tax' measures on the ballot:
    1) '2C' would raise property tax, as the city council was trying to convince voters that it was necessary for city services. It was defeated.
    2) '300' was an effort to eliminate an illegal 'tax', called a fee issued by an invoice, that was illegally implemented by the city council without voter approval, as well as eliminate PILT's from city-owned 'enterprises' to the city general fund. It passed, much to my surprise.
