Thanks!

They targeted Grayson big time because he was so outspoken.. meh that fucking sucks.

Kinda amazing that he'll be out, but that cunt Michelle Bachmann will probably get re-elected.

This makes for a fascinating case study, if anything. I wonder if the democrats didn't bother targeting Bachmann.

Also, the republicans gain control of the House! Good times. I say let the batshit crazy fly.

Targeting candidates in house races rarely works, since redistricting basically makes it so congressional districts are either solidly blue or solidly red, and those seats only change hands when there's a lot of anti-incumbent sentiment. Most of the seats the GOP is winning tonight are seats that the Democrats only won in the whole anti-republican sweep we saw in 2006 and 2008. As much as I'd love to see Bachmann go away and never come back, I doubt it'll ever happen unless there's a very strong anti-tea party or anti-conservative movement at some point in the distant future.

GOP just got the House back

Hello to 2 years of grid locked Government and nothing getting done. Feels good man.

Rand Paul makes me want to fucking barf. He's certainly not his father, nor does he have his father's common sense.

[Kuya]

Alan Grayson is out.

That one will sting for awhile.

Actually, this is an excellent result. It means that outspoken and incendiary liberals really do make the right angry. Very angry.

If anything this is evidence that more democrats need to act like firebrands and make the right even crazier and angrier.

[Rhinox]

To be quite honest it will remain gridlocked.

Unless the GOP can get 60 votes to invoke cloture it only takes 1 Senator to hold up legislation.

God bless the USA

[Atreides]

i bet they'll vote to end the whole cloture/filibuster mess but it'll get held up in the senate lol

[Kurokikaze]

OH my god... Kentucky.. wtf are you doing?!

If they vote to remove filibusters... nothing can save us.

[Atreides]

doesn't look like Sink is doing too well in Florida...

How the fuck do you perpetrate the largest medicare fraud in the history of the united states and still get elected in a state full of old people?

Even worse is the exact topic being discussed on MSNBC right now - if Rand Paul sticks to his absolute Objectivist principles and his victory speech pledge to not let the people be "enslaved by debt", he must BY PRINCIPLE filibuster and/or vote against increasing the debt ceiling. If that EVER happens, the world economy will go into an IMMEDIATE depression due to the devaluation of our currency, and even the wildest dreams of Grover Norquist's bathtub will be realized because we won't have a government left at all.

yeah I was making that point earlier, the republicans are going to have to either break their campaign promise and vote to increase the debt limit, or they're going to shut down the government and it's going to be a repeat of the whole debacle in 1995 that got all the republicans kicked the fuck out in 96

This. I'm sure Ron is probably wanting to hurt him self in a similar fashion Bush SR. wants to hurt himself.

Carl Paladino losing even worst then originally thought lol

Yeah, just got home and am listening to random numbers come up on the TV and this is pretty much my thought. Annoyingly spent the night with my sister's republican boyfriend, so I had the joy of hearing all his nutjob theories and anti-Obama rhetoric. Then again, knowing my sister's batshit, I guess they kinda mesh in some crazy way.

Still, next 2 years are likely to suck. -.-

[bigrougabagel]

Yep, apologizing on behalf of kentucky. Scary as hell, 6th district is at 96% reporting and barr(rep) is only behind by like 150 votes. Going to be a shit kicking going on around here in the next few weeks.

People at work brought up the Guaranteed Retirement plan thing like it was something new because some right wing blog brought it back up an said Obama was going to enact it. Had to put a stop to that.

What the fuck is a "backroom deal"

Are they like death panels?
