The polls said it would be close, and she had Hillary there campaigning for her. She must have actually thought she was going to win. She was clearly a little bewildered dealing with the harsh reality of losing by 15 points.

Just wait two years and see Democrats come back. American politics is descending into a meaningless, demographically driven seesaw. www.vox.com/2014/11/5/7157187/2016-election

" . . . the "endless seesaw" model of American politics makes perfect sense. The presidential and non-presidential electorates look too different for either political party to optimize for both of them. Democrats have built a coalition that's optimized for presidential years, while the GOP has one that's optimized for off-years. And so we're set for a lot of big swings back and forth every two years."

Then there was Sir Charles :


Discussing the midterm elections Wednesday night, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer told “Special Report” host Bret Baier the Republican victories were “the worst wall-to-wall, national, unmistakable, unequivocal shellacking that you will ever see” and a “nuclear explosion.”

Krauthammer hit President Barack Obama for pretending the election didn’t mean much as he noted during his afternoon press conference that “two-thirds of the electorate didn’t show up.”

Krauthammer: [Obama] played as the puzzled observer. He was asked about the meaning of the election, and he said “I’ll leave to others the reading of tea leaves.” Was this really a subtle result? Was this sort of complicated and nuanced? This was the worst wall-to-wall, national, unmistakable, unequivocal shellacking that you will ever see in a midterm election, and it happened on just about every level. You’ve got in the House the Republicans now have the largest majority since 1929.

In the Senate, the Democrats have lost seven, probably nine, and by huge margins, McConnell is supposed to be neck-and-neck, he won by 15 points, Arkansas 18 points. And then the — the one excuse the Republicans have is “well this election was played on their home turf, on red turf.” Well, you know, Maryland, Massachusetts and Illinois are not exactly red states. All of them elected, shockingly, Republican governors. “The Economist” called this a massacre and Obama says, “I don’t read tea leaves,” and remember, what he said about the election. It’s about his policies, everywhere, every single one. Of course it was about him, of course it was his ideology and the execution of his leadership. This was a wall-to-wall rejection of Obama-ism and he pretended that this was an election that didn’t have a lot of meaning because two-thirds of the electorate didn’t show up.

The race I liked the most was the one in Maryland, where I live, where the Lt. Governor Anthony Brown was considered such a shoo-in, no one spoke about the Maryland race. No one. You didn’t hear a word, and the Republican, Larry Hogan, came out of nowhere. He won by 8 points. This tells you — the reason I like it, it shows the extent of this political event into the bluest of the blue, Maryland. It wasn’t a tea leaf election. It was a nuclear explosion.

Beck was always an unpredictable fringe player. I remember when he had his big event on the Mall in D.C. I thought it was going to be a populist grass roots anti-Obama, anti-liberalism rally. That's what he said it was gonna be. Instead he put on a church revival show that Jimmy Swaggert would be jealous of. Since then I have no interest in what he says. But he does seem very happy with his life and new gig.

The 8 biggest losers of the war on women

1. Cosmopolitan
This year, the fashion magazine known for advertising sex tips on its cover decided to jump into the political game by endorsing candidates that stood for what the magazine said its readers should care about. It didn’t endorse a single Republican.

Of Cosmo's 12 endorsed candidates, only two won: Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Rep. Gary Peters of Michigan.

Cosmo was so dedicated to telling its readers that Democrats are better for women it even endorsed two men over strong female Republican candidates — Rep. Bruce Braley over Joni Ernst in Iowa, and John Foust over Barbara Comstock in Virginia. Both men lost.

2. Wendy Davis
Speaking of people who received a Cosmo endorsement but lost, Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis was defeated soundly by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.

Not only did Davis lose, but she lost by the biggest margin since the 1998 Texas gubernatorial election. A very conservative, pro-life Tea Party Republican candidate also picked up the state Senate seat she left to make her statewide run.

Davis secured the Democratic nomination through celebrity after she mounted an 11-hour filibuster against a ban on late-term abortions (after five months into a pregnancy). The war on women was her entire schtick, although after she had the nomination, her campaign tried to focus on anything but abortion (since she was running in such a deeply red state). Even so, she couldn’t escape the fact that her name was synonymous with that issue.

Davis proved to be an untested candidate and not nearly as dynamic as she first appeared. Democrats openly discussed her candidacy as a vehicle for turning Texas blue, but if anything, it set them back, especially considering her poor performance among Hispanic voters (the victorious Republican took 44 percent of their votes and actually won among Hispanic men). After going through tens of millions of dollars from national donors, Davis did little better than the weakest sacrificial-lamb candidates ever sent up to run statewide on the Texas Democratic ticket.

3. Sandra Fluke
Sandra Fluke, one could say, started the whole "war on women" narrative. Her testimony before Congress, where as a 30-year-old law student she lobbied Congress to pay for birth control pills, was the knell signaling the end of women’s empowerment in favor of their dependency on government-issued fertility control.

Fluke would have likely disappeared into anonymity if it hadn’t been for conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh calling her a “slut” for that testimony. As the victim of this slight, Fluke was rewarded with a personal conversation with President Obama and a speech at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.

Two years later, Fluke decided to try and turn her 15 minutes of fame in a campaign for Congress. California Democrats did not want that, though, so instead she ran for state Senate. She was defeated yesterday by Ben Allen, a fellow progressive who had actually been a public servant in the district for years. Even though Fluke was profiled in Vogue magazine and given nearly continuous publicity by MSNBC, she lost to Allen by a 2-to-1 margin.

4. Mark Udall
Fluke and Davis found little success in creating careers from the war on women. But before their downfall, Udall thought he could lazily co-opt the narrative for his campaign and coast to victory. His single-minded focus on birth control became so apparent that he was dubbed “Mark Uterus” and even heckled by one of his own millionaire donors.

Part of the reason the narrative failed for Udall was that he was up against a Republican with an actual response. Rep. Cory Gardner countered Udall’s claims that he would ban birth control by repeatedly pointing out that he favored making such contraceptives available over the counter.

5. Martha Robertson
Democrats at one point were excited about the possibility of defeating Republican Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y. Their candidate, Martha Robertson, created a memorable political moment during one of her debates when she brought up the war on women, only to be laughed at and mocked by her audience.

6. MSNBC
As mentioned above, MSNBC did all that it could to get Fluke and Davis elected, with glowing profiles, softball interviews and the air time to campaign.

But all the interviews in the world couldn’t help those two get elected. The network, whose viewership is small and shrinking, creates a 24-hour news conversation beginning from premises that have little relation to the opinions and ideas of people in the real world. Its hosts wear tampon earrings to make political statements and literally gasp in horror at the idea that anyone would want to restrict abortion at all. There is no clearer demonstration of how far from reality MSNBC has become than the failure of the "war on women" narrative in the 2014 midterms.

7. Debbie Wasserman Schultz
The Democratic National Committee chairwoman went a bit too far in the war on women during the 2014 election, claiming in two different speeches that Republicans wanted to physically assault women — in a metaphorical sense, of course.

In Wisconsin, Wasserman Schultz told women that Gov. Scott Walker had given women “the back of his hand” and was "grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back."

Walker won comfortably.

8. Lena Dunham
The “Girls” writer and star thought she could use her particular brand of whatever to influence the election. She even made a video for Glamour magazine where young women first talked about free they were and how great it was to be a woman in this day and age, but then quickly started claiming they were horribly oppressed.

Then there was Dunham herself, who admitted to, among other things, thinking that all someone had to do was “vote for Obama [and] then go back to eating Cheetos and reading gossip magazines.”

Of course, what Dunham appears to care about are the same things the Left thinks women care about exclusively: Abortion and birth control.

Because women couldn’t possibly care about jobs, the economy or anything other than what’s between the pages of those gossip magazines, right?

Not really. The more accurate model shows that during midterms, the reasonable, informed, and dutiful electorate goes to the polls, and knows how to find the polls without a bus ride to the front door. This favors the conservatives, the constitutionalists, the dedicated patriots. The Dems and other libtards know they must try to get more of the most ignorant, illiterate, libtarded voters to the polls, which is called "voter turnout" and this influx of "low-information voter" always benefits the libtards.
During the Presidential elections, these libtards can figure out how to pry their but off the couch and get to the bus which can take them to the door of the poll, and this higher voter turnout shifts the results towards the libtards.

The non-presidential electorate is the base of voters, and the presidential electorate is that same base, with additional heaping load of ignorant libtards on top.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Obama is an asshole. After years of war and an economic implosion brought about by the impoverishment of the once-upon-a-time middle class and bad loans made by all banks ... the exploding federal deficit .... and the massive bailout of the very same improvident financial institutions that participated in fraudulently creating, buying, selling, swapping, monetizing and insuring mountains of those bad loans ... people were sick of GWB.

Obama came in with a huge mandate, and a giant broom. He had widespread support for single payer (or at least public option), for the most transparent administration ever, for defending the interests of the little guy, for winding down the wars and closing Gitmo.... for everything that he promised.

The problem was, he didn't deliver on any of it. When he started out his reign by appointing Timmy Geithner and shelving single payer and then shelving the public option, he undercut two very important programs that could have made a real, positive difference in American lives. And then he continued down that path, having promised immigration reform to Hispanics and jobs to the young, transparency for everyone, and a more responsible foreign policy he delivered none of that. Instead, he continued everything that GWB started, and worse.

The young people. women, and Hispanics who voted overwhelmingly in 2008 stayed away in droves in 2014.

They have no experience what the GOP will be like - Republicans were being voted in at the same time that very liberal propositions were being approved. It may take them two election cycles to figure it out. Hopefully, they will all come to realize that many Democratic politicians and most Republican politicians are corrupt people who will sell EVERYONE downriver who isn't wealthy. Then maybe they will pick someone else on the ticket. It's not like there aren't other choices available.

Obama Built That: Democrat 'Majority Coalition' Shrinks After Midterm Debacle
From Michael Barone, at IBD, "After Republican Wave, Obama Majority Has Shrunk":

Some observations on the election:

1) This was a wave, folks. It will be a benchmark for judging waves, for either party, for years.

2) In seriously contested races, Republican candidates were generally younger, more vigorous, more sunny and optimistic than Democrats. The contrast was sharpest in Colorado and Iowa, which voted twice for President Obama. Cory Gardner and Joni Ernst seemed to be looking forward to the future. Their opponents grimly championed the stale causes of feminists and trial lawyers of the past.

Democrats see themselves as the party of the future. But their policies are antique. The federal minimum wage dates to 1938, equal pay for women to 1963, access to contraceptives to 1965. Raising these issues now is campaign gimmickry, not serious policymaking.

Democratic leading lights have been around a long time. The party’s two congressional leaders are in their 70s. The governors of the two largest Democratic states are sons of former governors who won their first statewide elections in 1950 and 1978.

This has implications for 2016. Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, worked in her first campaign in 1970. She has been a national figure since 1991. The Clintons’ theme song, “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow,” was released in 1977. That will be 39 years ago in 2016.

3) The combination of Obama’s low job approval and Harry Reid’s virtual shutdown of the Senate ensured a Republican Senate majority. Reid prevented amendments — Mark Begich of Alaska never got to introduce one — that could have helped them in campaigns.

Votes were blocked on issues with clear Senate majorities — such as the Keystone XL pipeline, medical-device tax repeal, and the bipartisan patent-reform bill backed by Judiciary chairman Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.0.

That left Democrats running for reelection stuck with 95-plus percent Obama voting records. It left them with no independent votes or initiatives to point to. Reid kept Democratic candidates well stocked with money. But not with winning issues.

4) Democratic territory has been reduced to the bastions of two core groups — black voters and gentry liberals. Democrats win New York City and the San Francisco Bay area by overwhelming margins but are outvoted in almost all the territory in between — including, this year, Obama’s Illinois. Governor Jerry Brown ran well behind in California’s Central Valley, and Governor Andrew Cuomo lost most of upstate New York.

Democratic margins have shrunk among Hispanics and, almost to the vanishing point, among young voters. Liberal Democrats raised money to “turn Texas blue.” But it voted Republican by wider-than-usual margins this year.

Under Obama, the Democratic base has shrunk numerically and demographically. With superior organization, he was able to stitch together a 51 percent majority in 2012. But like other Democratic majority coalitions — Woodrow Wilson’s, Lyndon Johnson’s, even Franklin Roosevelt’s — it has proved to be fragile and subject to fragmentation.

5) In many states — including many carried twice by Obama — Republicans have been governing successfully, at least in the estimation of their voters. Governor Scott Walker has won his third victory in four years in Wisconsin against the frantic efforts of public-employee unions.

Governor John Kasich won a landslide victory against a flawed opponent in Ohio, and Governor Rick Snyder won solidly in Michigan after signing a right-to-work law hated by private-sector unions. In Florida, Governor Rick Scott’s second consecutive one-point victory means that Republicans will be in control for 20 years in what is now the nation’s third-largest state.

Democratic governance, in contrast, was rebuked by the voters in Massachusetts, in Maryland (with the nation’s fourth-highest black population in percentage terms), and in Obama’s home state of Illinois.

(6) The Obama Democrats labor under the illusion that a beleaguered people hunger for an ever-bigger government. The polls and the election results suggest, not so gently, otherwise.

The fiasco of HealthCare.gov, the misdeeds of the IRS, the improvisatory warnings of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — all undermine confidence in the capacity of big government. Looking back over the last half-century, we can see that the highest levels of trust in government came, interestingly, during the administration of Ronald Reagan.

7) This election was a repudiation of the big-government policies of the Obama Democrats. It was not so much an endorsement of Republicans as it was an invitation to them to come up with better alternative policies..

Numbers don't lie.


From The Guardian - a non-partisan source:
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014/nov/05/how-republicans-won-mid
term-elections

Those Republican victories were rooted in turnout as much as voter persuasion. In the lead-up to the election, Democrats had bragged about what they anticipated would be a superior get-out-the-vote effort, modeled on the campaign that secured the election of Colorado senator Michael Bennet in 2010.

But on Tuesday, from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic coast, it was Republicans who appeared to have mastered the process of turning out base voters.

The Week
http://theweek.com/article/index/271204/why-turnout-cant-explain-the-m
idterm-elections

The Democrats don't turn out for midterm elections .....

International Business Times:
http://www.ibtimes.com/high-voter-turnout-drove-gop-wins-key-senate-mi
dterm-races-1719581

High voter turnout helped the GOP win key U.S. Senate races across the nation in Tuesday's midterm elections, according to unofficial results obtained from state election officials. Five of the seven states that saw Senate seats go from Democrats to Republicans drew more than 50 percent of registered voters Tuesday, while nationwide only 36.6 percent of registered voters cast ballots.

The stereotypical storyline of midterm elections is that they are plagued by voter apathy and that higher turnout tends to favor Democrats. But in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Montana and South Dakota -- which reported turnout rates of 49.6 percent, 52.2 percent, 52.3 percent, 54.6 percent and 54.2 percent, respectively -- Republicans surged to victory as large numbers of voters headed to the polls. North Carolina and West Virginia, the two remaining states that saw Senate seats flip from blue to red Tuesday, also bested the national average, though by smaller margins, with 44.0 percent and about 37 percent turnout.

There's another thing: Republicans were in control of many state legislatures in 2010, the year that the Census comes out. In that year, states are allowed to redistrict in response to the changed population. That was the intent, anyway. But in that year, the GOP redistricted to vastly favor its party, and so we had the result of a Democratic majority of voters, but a Republican majority of politicians. Since redistricting hasn't happened since, there was probably some of that going on too- a discrepancy between how people voted and which people were elected.

So much for democracy and the will of the people!

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.



Wait a second. Do you really think that rapturd is making any attempt at a logical argument? Does it really seem like he is making any dismal attempt to sound sane or rational? Do you think his posts are anything more than inane blathering, with no apparent desire to make any sense?
If you keep arguing with a retard, and again argue with the retard, do you expect different results? I acknowledge your efforts at trying to educate the ignorant, but at what point do you decide to give up? There are quite a few reasonable participants in this forum which can benefit from your wisdom and knowledge, but clearly this one is a dying lump of cerebral debris. I applaud your efforts, but please don't overexert on behalf of the eternally ignorant.




SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

There's another thing: Republicans were in control of many state legislatures in 2010, the year that the Census comes out.

But in that year, the GOP redistricted to vastly favor its party, and so we had the result of a Democratic majority of voters, but a Republican majority of politicians. Since redistricting hasn't happened since, there was probably some of that going on too- a discrepancy between how people voted and which people were elected.

So much for democracy and the will of the people!


This nation is a Republic. A democratic Republic. Those who can read about the Oath of Allegiance
or the founding of the nation have figured that out.
For many decades now, the nation has had a vast majority of Republican wards, Republican
counties, Republican townships, but ended up with a majority of Democrap politicians. If you haven't, try looking at one of those maps of the nation, red and blue, by voting ward or by county.

That is 1992, with Bush41, Clinton, Perot.

That is 2008, colors on sliding scale. Many solid red, hard to find solid blue.

That is 2008 without the sliding scale.

And that is 2008 with counties with the margin of victory over 20%. The white are closer to
half and half - which largely wipes out the libtards.

That is by county in November 2012. What sort of warped representation process could allow a
majority of libtards to represent that vast amount of reasonable voters.

Now that that discrepancy has been corrected, you feel the urge to whine. Are you suggesting
that you have been complaining all along about the over-representation of Democraps?

Try reading about the United States Government, the Constitution, OK? Heard of the Great Compromise? Congress is not solely comprised of the House of Representatives - there are 2 Chambers. Why do you think that is? If the Founders had thought that miserable libtards who insist on cramming themselves into cubbyholes amongst their fellow criminals and libtards to increase their misery density should have the right to make all reasonable people as miserable as they, then they would have given extra weight to the miserable libtards cramming themselves into cities, to siphon off the work product (food, raw materials) of the reasonable. The Founders were wise enough not to corrupt the ideal of representation that way, as the Dems and other libtards wish they had.

And yet the Senate doesn't count acreage - it counts political divisions called states. Very itty bitty states like Rhode Island get the same representation as HUGE GIANT STATES like Alaska.


Were you trying to make a point about acreage? You get a FAIL.

You might be on the verge of comprehension. Yes, as a Republic of States, we have representation in the Senate without regard to POPULATION. This is why Rhode Island has the same representation in the Senate as Texas, California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois. And so does Wyoming.
