can we see the avatar you had for PD?

I didn't have one ready.

 

[Diablos]

Really surprised by the Maryland loss. Guess that probably ends O'Malley's national aspirations.

First of all how the fuck does a GOPer win in MD?

 

[Gruco]

wtf @ mark warner. wtf bro

Seriously this man won 65% of the vote in 2008

 

[Jooney]

Senate map was always tough but the governors races showed that the Dems gave their constituents nothing to vote for. Playing defence and distancing yourself from the leader of your party is never a winning move.

Also, I wonder how much of a toll Ebola took. October surprise etc.

 

[Aaron Strife]

You know I think it's kind of shitty how Obama's basically been on trial during all of his presidency. 2012 went ok but jesus.

Except he wasn't running for MD Governor. He was term-limited.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Dems who didn't vote in 2010.

Fuck you.

No, seriously. FUCK YOU.

Sincerely,

...I know that. Point being the rocky end of his term and dems losing the governorship afterwards isn't a good sign.

That's true for every president.

I wonder if democrat tears are as tasty as republican tears?

 

[Amir0x]

Told you guys it was set to be an apocalyptic night and the Dems would do worse than even expected.

Dark clouds were swirling for some time now. Dark days ahead.

They are.

Spoiler

Tears taste the same.

I agree. When you campaign on distancing yourself from when things actually got done........ you don't have much to campaign on. Dems have only made the message worse by trying to ignore it instead of pointing out the good.

 

[Cat]

For all the Democratic candidates that campaigned by distancing themselves from the President... it worked. They will be nowhere near him.

GOP also up 8 in the House so far. Could be 16+ by the end of the night.

The issue is much bigger than gerrymandering. There is too much voter apathy and divide between urban and rural.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Dem strategy was so fail.

Still trying to appear independent and so losing the base too.

Dems did this same shit in 2010 and it didn't work. I cannot imagine why they thought it would work again.

HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN

 

[Avon Barksdale]

How bad was Tom Corbett when he was the only Republican that got voted out tonight?

 

[benjipwns]

New Hampshire District 1
74% reporting
CANDIDATE PARTY VOTES PCT.
Frank Guinta Rep. 101,704 52.0%
Carol Shea-Porter* Dem. 93,756 48.0

Another one down.

 

[benjipwns]

How bad was Tom Corbett when he was the only Republican that got voted out tonight?

And he's only going to lose by ten points. It feels like he was down 25+ or something not too long ago.

 

[Jooney]

If Obama only invaded Syria, committed ground troops against ISIS and physically manhandled Putin, this never would have happened.

Dayum. Truth bomb. Happened in 2010 and to no one's surprise happened again in 2014.

Blue dogs stay losing.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

If Obama hadn't been a fuck head and did executive immigration action before mid terms that is what would have helped Dems.

 

[KingK]

I just got back from work. Can anyone give me a quick summary of the what results we have so far? Judging from browsing a few comments on this last page, it's not good.

 

[jamesinclair]

Maryland and Mass might vote R for governor...


So far 8 states leaning/decided democrats governor...

26 for R



WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Avon Barksdale]

Not really.

Sucks if you're a liberal. Awesome if you're conservative.

Do you like the color red?

 

[dabig2]

I don't think that would have helped turnout that much. Probably would have pissed off more racist white people to be honest.

Still should've done it though because at this point who gives a fuck.

 

[Averon]

The most disastrous aspect of tonight is the governorships. They were suppose be where the Dems was going to make some gains.

Now expect all sorts of crazy voter suppression bullshit laws leading up to 2016.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I don't think that would have helped turnout that much. Probably would have pissed off more racist white people to be honest.

Still should've done it though because at this point who gives a fuck.

It would have helped in Colorado I'm sure.

[Diablos]

This is a wave election.

Hillary is going to have an uphill battle in 2016. The Democratic brand is soiled. Partly due to right-wing lunacy but also because of Democrats completely losing the plot and losing all the campaigning prowess they had since 2006.

 

[theprodigy]

so when do Dems learn not to run away from the successes of your president?

 

[Gruco]

Brownback is going to win reelection after 100 state republican politicians endorsed his opponent.

 

[pigeon]

I literally said "wait, Jerry Brown was up for reelection?" today.

This was the least noticeable California election day ever.

 

[cooljeanius]

Scott Brown finally conceded! Thank goodness...

 

[Diablos]

so when do Dems learn not to run away from the successes of your president?

Never. Democrats played right back into the stereotype that made them so loathed pre-Obama and 2006 wave: They have no spine. They can't project confidence. Their message is disjointed.

Hoorah! I feel like him and Metamorphine together could lead to pages and pages and pages of really fun conversation.

 

[benjipwns]

Cuomo dropped from 63% in 2010 to 53% in 2014.

 

[kingkitty]

Mark Warner looks like he'll eek out with 10-20k votes.

Fox News and Wolf Blitzer weren't wrong. It was a dead ass heat.

Wouldn't be the first time, Joe.

 

[KingK]

Holy shit. Republicans ran the fucking table. This is worse than I was expecting the worst case scenario to be. Dems haven't won a single toss-up.

 

[B-Dubs]

Cuomo dropped from 63% in 2010 to 53% in 2014.

The guy he was running against wasn't nearly as batshit as the guy he ran against in 2010. Shit, I went out and voted and I still have no idea who he ran against. Other than the Green Party guy.
