Oh yes they are. And that is the comment with a long experience in politics. Obama is an idiot, and people are pissed off.

Just wait until next year, when employment reaches thirty to forty percent, the banks go belly up AGAIN, and healthcare deform is still not passed, along with the obscenity of "cap and trade."

If Obama wanted to run as a Republican instead of a Democrat and a liar, he should have done so. Instead he's just alienated his base, completely changed course once in office, and pissed off his entire constituency who put him in office.

Marguerite, please resume taking your anti-psychotics. Not only will you be much happier, you won't embarrass yourself spouting conspiracy-theory gibberish.

So Marquerite. What you're saying is that you'll be voting Republican the next election? BTW, Obama ran as a centrist - which he is btw - and most people on the left already knew that - apparently you didn't.

And don't assume that the liberal left will spin it to be what they want it to be. If it had turned out the other way, all we would be hearing is that Obama and his policies paved the way for the Dems to be elected.

There's nothing to spin, holmescc, the numbers speak for themselves: 57% of Virginia voters and 60% New Jersey say they weren't sending Obama a message with their votes. I know that comes as shock to you right-wing, Obama-obsessed idiots, but that's just the way it is. Try to wrap your tiny little mind around it instead of throwing yet another tantrum.

Sorry, but I see your last response as spin.
NJ voters did not say they weren't sending Obama a message, they said he was not a factor in their decision.
But, he tried to be a factor. He, and Biden, visited NJ several times to appear with Corzine. NJ voters ignored him and voted for a Republican. Democrats ignore that at their own risk.

Now who's spinning, LeedsJr.? The elections in Virginia and New Jersey were not referendums on Obama. The exit poll in the above-linked story -- and other polls conducted yesterday -- clearly demonstrate that.

And do I need to mention that for the last twenty years, the party that controls the White House has lost the gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey?

Deeds was a disaster in Virginia. He kept Obama at arm's length, going out of his way to say he wasn't an "Obama Democrat," and could never give a coherent, consistent answer when asked a policy question. Deeds basically handed McDonnell the office.

Meanwhile, Corzine failed to lower NJ's high taxes, bring fiscal discipline, or connect with his constituents. Corzine's scorched earth ad blitz against Christie also turned-off voters -- 60% of whom approved of the job Obama was doing even as they were giving Corzine a big thumbs-down in the polls over the summer. (Again, it was Corzine NJ voters rejected yesterday, not Obama.)

Add to all that the fact that both Christie and McDonnell were careful to play to the middle; neither launched the usual ridiculous attacks on Obama, Pelosi, Hollywood, or health care reform; both stuck to local economic issues, and both refused offers from Sarah Palin and other far-right luminaries to campaign for them.

To paraphrase you: "The GOP ignores that at it's own risk."

Now go peddle your concern troll bullshit somewhere else.

I wasn't trolling or spinning anything. I merely pointed out the NJ voters were answering a different question than how you phrased it. How did I know that? Well, I live in NJ, and I paid close attention to the election coverage.
I am also more liberal than anything else. I'm just not a hate-filled idealogue like yourself.
If you reply again, you will be speaking to an empty room - I won't waste my time here again.

Hey LeedsJr? Living in Jersey doesn't give you superior insight into facts that are known nationally. And you weren't taking issue with what I said, but falsely accusing me of "spinning" a poll you disagreed with. Go fuck yourself. And don't bother coming back.

Holmescc:

You're a silly, America-hating piece of right-wing trash too stupid to understand that you've embraced a failed ideology and political party, an ideology and a party that the American people have rejected.

Do the world a favor: Take up a hobby like javelin catching or playing in traffic while blind-folded. :)

And yes, you silly, treason-spewing piece of offal, your moronic comments will continue to be deleted. Troll somewhere else, loser. :)

holmescc: Deleting your posts doesn't mean I can't rebut you, it means that you're not saying anything intelligent. All you've done is hurl insults; you've made no arguments or counterarguments. I also see that you're too cowardly to post to your own blogspace, so it's clear the only reason you're here is to harass your intellectual superiors (i.e. everyone who is not a right-winger).

Frankly, even if you did try to make some argument in my comments or at your own blog, it's been my experience over the last 17 years of being online that right-wing points are laughably easy to shoot down.

And now I'm now I'm not only going to delete your graffiti from my comments, I'm going to ignore you, you silly anti-American, America-hating traitor. :)
