Fox news and the right wing noise machine in NY-23 tried an experiment and failed miserably. THE TEABAGGERS HAVE BEEN DENIED!!!!
Wow, it is no wonder I stopped watching cable news, the NY-23 is not even going to be a focus on the corporate news channels such as CNN and especially Fox News. Instead they will focus on the two GOP Governors races. When they built up the NY-23 to be somthing bigger than it was. The GOP once again has shot themselves in the foot.
We do know that exit polling demonstrated outside of the crazy righties it had nothing to do with Obama. It had everything to do with two unpopular incumbents. One (Corzine) who I wouldn't have voted for if I lived in New Jersey and the other who ran a horrible campaign in Virginia. What was his name again?
But the NY race tells us a lot....
The GOP is in serious trouble come 2010 if they cannot control the Sarah Palins, the Glen Becks, Rush Limbaughs or Freedom works.
If NY-23 goes Democratic (and it looks as if it is) the Republicans had better silence the gas bag wing of their party otherwise this will be the gift that keeps on giving come 2010.
There is a huge difference when you have national elections versus local "special" elections in voter turnout. If you look at the mere number of voters who turned out in general the numbers were relativly week compared to the 2008 turnout on both sides.
I will send a warning shot accross the bow of the Democrats ship. You had better stop acting like a bunch of lapdogs for the special interests and starting reving up you base with the change you ran on otherwise you will lose your jobs come 2010. Money won't buy my vote no matter how much you advertise if you keep up the same crap!!!
Start doing what you were voted to do!!! Lead and Screw the Republicans!!!
If they do this they won't have to worry about raising money, if they do what we (their base) wants we will turn out in droves and bring our relatives!!!
Update: It is being buried on the cable news sites. It is no wonder Jeff Dunham, (a comedian with a puppet show) is trumping all the cable news in their ratings (on the comedy channel) more people would rather watch a bunch of puppets than Fox News, CNN, HLN and MSNBC. They don't have any clout over anything except hot air!!!
Cheers everyone Obama just picked up another House vote!!!
