The big lesson here is that the Democrats better put out or get out of the way. People on the left and in the middle are pissed that nothing is getting done. Its Obama's economy now, and he better fix it fast or he and the Dems are toast in 2010...

The Corzine loss in New Jersey is a devastating loss for the Dems, no matter how you try to spin it. I mean, really, New Jersey went to Obama with what percentage? It was a ridiculously high number...

Virginia was to be expected - if the Dems had run a black candidate, things might have been different, but really, Virginia is still in the south and still dominated by rednecks...

NY 23 is an interesting situation, but what I take out of it is that the RINO's just got their wake up call from the base of the party - More people voted against the Democrat here than for him. I think Owens is more conservative than Scuzzy Fava anyway, so more power to him...

I'll be interested to hear Cenk's take tomorrow...

Thanks for the post.

Palins nutball  got his ass kicked in what should have been a sure thing  according to boss limbaugh.

Teabagger candidates are good for the Democrats

GO Palin!

A conservative believes nothing should be done for the first time

Uh, did you not read? (none / 0)
Corzine lost because he SUCKED. NJ is not going to the right; they just wanted a chance, and Christie couldn't possibly be anything but a moderate. As for McDonnell, he had what his opponent lacked--a message.

And the Republicans were bound to win a few back this year and next; the minority party usually recovers to some degree in off-year elections. But the facts remain: the GOP is a mess, and in NY, it shot itself in the foot bigtime. Expect more of the same in 2010 with the quixotic right wing continuing to abandon the moderates that would save the party.

No matter how much you spin in.

By "chance" I mean "change". Hard to proofread on this tiny-ass laptop.
