2008 USGE RESULTS THREAD PS GOP U LOST DIXVILLE NOTCH LOL

Where are the other states?

Yeah, I've talked to a few Tennesseans and the general mood is somber and frightened. I think I should leave the jubilation at home for Thanksgiving.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi:
"I will try to help relations between Russia and the United States where a new generation has come to power, and I don't see problems for Medvedev to establish good relations with Obama who is also handsome, young and suntanned," he said.

nice

lol Italy, only yr pasta keeps you from being Spain

Further funnies:

McCain’s presidential bid has ended, but the fireworks from inside his former campaign continue to make news: evidence is mounting that senior adviser Randy Scheunemann wasn’t fired, as several internal sources had suggested, but the target of a deliberate whispering campaign.

...

Scheunemann, who was widely viewed as a supporter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, admitted people were trying to push him out of the campaign. But he said that Goldfarb, his ally, was incorrect when he told CNN that Scheunemann’s blackberry had been taken away — although he does admit that his e-mail account had been “temporarily” cut off.

Michael Goldfarb, a McCain press aide and Scheunemann ally, said that senior McCain aides were mad at Scheunemann — and wanted to fire him — but he insisted they stopped short of that, and instead simply turned off his campaign communication.

Goldfarb said Scheunemann was in the office on Saturday. He was, however, noticeably missing on election night when top aides to John McCain and Sarah Palin gathered in Phoenix, Arizona.

i'm trying to not say this in a sarcastic way, so.. i am a lot more thrilled about being able to shut the door & start digging out from the last eight years of the BUSH administration, rather than making it a thing about bill clinton.

RedState is a treat today:

Here's where I am on the House and Senate GOP leadership races.

The whole lot of them should be rounded up and hanged. Slowly.

uh

And apparently Operation Leper made it to the Glenn Beck show. By all means, draw more people in!

If this is the least sensitive thing the Poison Dwarf says about Obama, it'll be a miracle.

hahaha "Poison Dwarf"!

good lord. dear red state, the voters noticed that republicans fucked up the country when they were given power to run it. that is the problem. frankly the GOP bloodbath should've been worse. dems underperformed in a number of down ballot races, no one has run the numbers yet AFAIK, but some of the new voters obama brought in, only voted for obama & no one else on the ballot. this happened during the primaries as well.

Silvio Berlusconi (help·info) (born 29 September 1936) is an Italian politician, entrepreneur, real estate and insurance tycoon, bank and media proprietor, sports team owner and songwriter.

"Poison Dwarf" = mash up of "Poison Arrow" and "Sex Dwarf" = song of the year.

the year 1982

DURHAM RAISIN THE ROOF

Nov. 6, 2008 | Bill Kristol, "Fox News Sunday" -- Dec. 17, 2006

"If [Hillary Clinton] gets a race against John Edwards and Barack Obama, she's going to be the nominee. Gore is the only threat to her ... Barack Obama is not going to beat Hillary Clinton in a single democratic primary. I'll predict that right now."

bad campaign predictions http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/11/06/bad_prediction

Kristol forgot about caucuses!

I have to say I was very impressed with John Stewart the other night. He was very polite to Kristol whereas I could so easily have seen John just eviscerate him publicly.

one time he asked him if he was ever right abt anything

kristol is a goddamned idiot and you can take that to the bank. there is not a single thing he has ever said that panned out. if i walked indoors from a rainstorm covered in wet and shivering, and bill kristol was there, and then said, "what a terrible rainstorm we are having," i'd question as to whether or not it was actually raining outside. that is how terrible this person's ability to see things that exist is.

also this newsweek ch 3 about clinton is fascinating.

did stewart show clips of kristol coming on after kerry lost? he should've.

I still want to see the list, Bill! I wonder how obsessed with somebody you'd have to be to write an 81 page list of complaints. Even for people who I feel have wronged me in some way, I'd be really hard put to come up with anything more than maybe a five page list of grievances? And even five pages would be stretching it.

lobsters get really pissed off though

81 flavors of kristol

I dunno. Every week I compile a list of complaints about ILXors who have wronged me, and it easily exceeds 10 pages. After a few months I have over 80 pages as well, and I'm sure Bill Clinton's list goes farther back than that.

Merkley wins in Oregon

Thanks, Nicole.

i find it all fascinating because it's like, he became insanely infuriated beyond all reason by most accounts, saying the craziest things and really turning the campaign into something very ugly, and it mainly seems to be because a democrat dared to run without courting princess bill. it's odd and ridiculous and i think people are starting to go with this story a little again is because obama won while entirely eschewing the clinton political machine which dominated the democratic party for a while now! and of course it doesn't hurt that i think secretly about half the party elite were getting goddamned sick of bill clinton's fancy prancing and are secretly (and not-so-secretly) giggling to themselves right now.

honestly between bill's behavior and the ridiculous pumas who made a big stink of themselves and embarassed all of humanity, i really do feel bad for hillary who is just getting shit on by association with her entitled jackass husband and this entitled jackassed minority of her supporters. so i just really do find it interesting to see what the hell exactly happened behind the scenes there, because it seems to me like hillary is a reasonable lady -- i don/t buy into the mythos of hillary as a shrill ambitious bear.

it's also interesting to try to figure out how some of this bad blood is going to affect bill's legacy in the end but that's DEVELOPING... (drudgesiren.gif)

i hope the 81 page list was contained in a lisa frank notebook :D

AP calls North Carolina for Obama

I had never seen a picture of Gordon Smith until now with that article on the Merkley win. Do people routinely make fun of his fake Ken doll wig?

i hear you on hils, but then i read something like Hillary Clinton refused to shake his hand on the Senate floor after he declared his candidacy from the NEwsweek "How He Did It" piece, and I'm just like fuck that. I know, it's a measly, nothing, possibly even misinterpreted gesture, but fuck that.

kristol is a goddamned idiot and you can take that to the bank. there is not a single thing he has ever said that panned out.

so true. why does this jerk have a job

nicole, GIS Dino Rossi (the guy who lost to Gregoire for WA gov) if you want Barbie trademark political chiselling

Rossi makes Gordon Smith look like a woodsman
