A conservative won statewide in North Carolina in an off year election with low voter turnout. They also did so Arkansas, and in West Virginia, and in Kansas. Is this shocking? No. Its expected.

Here's where your elections were more distressing. Maryland and Illinois governors (although Quinn had lots of trouble). Ernst in Iowa. Udall losing in Colorado (although Hickenlooper did win reelection).

The real issue is that the GOP retains the same issue that they had two days ago, still no evidence they can win high turnout elections. If they started to move towards the center, I'd be more scared.

But 2016 starts today. The Dems playbook is transparent, call the GOP candidate a captive of the Koch Brothers, anti-Mexican, anti-Black, anti-woman, anti-middle class, not responsible for governance, and anti-Gay. If the swing voters see those charges as credible, the GOP will lose. Keep that checklist handy when the GOP tries to bust unions, pass punitive measures against Mexican immigrants, tries to gut civil rights/voting rights legislation, tries to block equal pay for women in the workforce, gut consumer protections, shut down the government, end Obamacare without a replacement that works for middle class Americans, and engages in crass homophobia all while being funded by the Oligarchs. You know the Dems playbook, the goal is to not fall into the trap. Lets just say I'm skeptical that the GOP will even attempt to not fall into that trap.

So you're admitting that Democrats can't win on the real issues. It's sad that what you clowns have to use to get into office.

Obama wasn't going to do anything for the next two years anyway, and Democrats will have an evil Congress to run against in 2016. This year set up perfectly for the GOP. 2016 sets up perfectly for Democrats.

Just like 2006, right?

The real issues are the ones that haven't been fixed despite multiple decades of both parties.

When are the Libs going to start recruiting Zombies as a group to radicalize like They did with Black Radicals , Gay radicals, Perverts, Jailbirds, Illegals, Drug Dealers, Trial Lawyers, Feminazis, Car Thieves, Eco wacko's, Homeless panhandlers, Muslim Extremists, Gang Members, Billionaires, Abortionists, Satan Worshippers, Atheists, Schizophrenics, amongst other wackos.

Everybody needs to lose once in a while.
