NEW YORK CD 9

[The New Guy]

well, it's hard to deny that obama's one-term presidency is just about etched in stone now.

TURNER WINS!!!


if you think the wave of republicans voted in last year was something, just wait. you ain't seen nothing yet! the bammy administration has rubbed too many people the wrong way for way too long and steadily they are pushing right back. we could have a landslide next year a 'la walter mondale.

James Carville has the answer: Panic!:

People often ask me what advice I would give the White House about various things. Today I was mulling over election results from New York and Nevada while thinking about that very question. What should the White House do now? One word came to mind: Panic.

We are far past sending out talking points. Do not attempt to dumb it down. We cannot stand any more explanations. Have you talked to any Democratic senators lately? I have. It's pretty damn clear they are not happy campers.

This is what I would say to President Barack Obama: The time has come to demand a plan of action that requires a complete change from the direction you are headed.

In other words, the Democrats are extremely regretful for backing the junior Senator from Illinois who was swept into office on the basis of his soaring rhetoric and lofty promises, not on anything concrete.

I keep reading articles about rumors that there will be a Democrat convention to select a presidential candidate. This should be interesting. If I were Obama, I'd hire a food taster.

Rep. Henry "The Nose" Waxman predicted the loss:

There are Jews who are trending toward the Republican Party, some of it because of their misunderstanding of Obama’s policies in the Middle East, and some of it, quite frankly, for economic reasons. They feel they want to protect their wealth, which is why a lot of well-off voters vote for Republicans.

Well, that just about says it all, doesn't it? Just like the comment from Santa Rosa City Councilman Scott Bartley about the opposition to the restoration of Courthouse Square:

If I based my support on what the polls said, we wouldn’t touch it. But I don’t care what the polls say. I know what the city needs.

We are so lucky to have such wise men representing us.
