You are correct and very perceptive. The "high fives" are very premature and will change to "hand wringing" by Tuesday evening..
The first ripples of a devastating political rejection tidal wave will then be evident.
Posted by Morris P Hernandez at November 2, 2009 10:48 AMPoor Morris Peter Hernandez, having to look for crumbs of Obama's fantasy downfall in a bunch of local races that have nothing to do with the very popular President. Pretty dang pathetic, really - the local Repubs running for dog catcher are scared to even identify themselves as conservative or Repub. so even if they did win, it'd be useless to claim it's against Obama cos they're claiming non-partisan. Buncha idiots, being idiotic. SOSO.
Posted by Twinky P* at November 2, 2009 03:39 PMI wouldn't characterize running to the right of the republican as being afraid to be indentified as a conservative.
Posted by Marcus Agrippa at November 2, 2009 04:06 PMWell, if that was happening in my local race, I suppose not. My local conservative candidate is pretending (badly) that she's non-partisan. But I see your problem, you're talking about some other race that doesn't concern me because it's not local. Trying, like your poor, desperate for attention "leaders," to pretend some other obscure local race is a national referendum on anything, is stupid. More importantly, it's just not working. Pathetically failing, in fact. But keep pretending, it keeps you idiots busy and amuses the rest of us.

Wellllll, I'd give you pretty popular . . not very.
But otherwise, yes, there's a lot of Republican and media Oujia board-Scrabble Set-spirit dancing-trying-to-read-something-into-nothing talking. Especially the New York Congressional and the VA governor's races.
Posted by idiosynchronic at November 3, 2009 05:21 AMI suppose, idio. Compared to the GOP, anyhoo. Bush lowered the bar, didn't he?
It's just funny that people barely notice their own local races, why would they care about someone else's local races if not for the teabaggers flogging them as if they mean something.
Love the Ouiji board analogy, though. Sums it all up perfectly!
