Jake Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Now looking like an almost complete blood bath for Republicans. Will be interesting. They will be gaining some control right as the country is relatively crisis-free, all the favorite indicators improving. Will Obama be credited with those things the same way he was blamed back when they were worse? POTUS election in 2016 looking exceedingly meaningful as it will be hard for Dems to get Congressional control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 LOL Sam Brownback wins. My god, what a state I live in. Maybe that bastard in the bathroom was right. I guess I did waste my time voting today. Oh well, at least I felt damn powerful when I voted against Brownback and for the police station they want to raise taxes for. I guess now they'll pass the tax hike for the police campus here and I'll probably get arrested for jaywalking or going five miles over the limit after voting for the cops.

StrangeSox Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 So has anyone who ran as a Dem but ran away from Obama/Obamacare actually won a race?

StrangeSox Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 The Republican Wave lifted many boats last night, including that of 18-year-old Saira Blair. The college freshman was elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in a landslide—she earned 63 percent of the vote to her 44-year-old Democratic opponent's 30 percent—and officially became the youngest lawmaker in the country. She'll represent a district of about 18,000 people in the eastern part of the state, near the Maryland border. The Wall Street Journal describes Blair as "fiscally conservative," and she "campaigned on a pledge to work to reduce certain taxes on businesses." Her website boasts an "A" rating from the NRA and endorsements from West Virginians for Life. As a 17-year-old, Blair primaried the 66-year-old Republican incumbent Larry Kump and advanced to the general election—all while legally being unable to cast a vote for herself. Democratic attorney Layne Diehl, her general election opponent, had only good things to say last night about the teenager who beat her: "Quite frankly a 17- or 18-year-old young woman that has put herself out there and won a political campaign has certainly brought some positive press to the state." Blair, an economics and Spanish major at West Virginia University, will defer her spring classes to attend the legislative session in the state capital. There, she'll join her father and campaign manager, Craig, who is a state senator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jim Webb or Elizabeth Warren runs, they will both have a better shot than Hilary in my opinion. Jim Webb would absolutely destroy her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
