Post-Election Rundown

It was one year ago today that Americans elected a President who had an admitted affinity for Marxists, Marxist domestic terrorists, and Marxist ideas on the guise of "hope" and "change you can believe in."  A year later, it appears that some Americans are starting to wake up about this guy.

 

Gibbsy says that the election results in Virginia and New Jersey (links are to exit polls) last night had nothing to do with the President, but on the other hand the race in NY-23 was a clear defeat for conservatives.  On the contrary, NY-23 was far from a win for Obama since even the Democrat campaigned against the government option and is actually more conservative than the ACORN-sponsored, Kos-endorsed Republican was.  One dispatch from the district says that Scozzafava's endorsement of Democrat Owens was what decided the election.  Of course, had the Republican Party establishment not spent nearly $1 million on Scozzafava, including bashing Conservative Hoffman, perhaps a real conservative Republican could have won.

 

Nancy Pelosi says that Democrats won last night, and in a way she has a point.

 

Rather than watching election results last night, President Obama was watching an HBO special about himself.

 

Byron York says that Obama can't be the community organizer for the world.

 

Senate Democrats don't think that they will be able to finish a health care bill this year.  If this is true, then it won't happen during this Congress.

 

Rep. George Miller (D-CA) is proposing a law that would require employers to pay employees who stay home from work when they are sick.

 

Lawmakers are considering a ban on laptops and other electronic devices for pilots after two pilots overshot their destination by 150 miles.

 

Cal Thomas asks whether the 10th Amendment can save us.  The answer is yes, if people would actually care.

 

White House Budget Director Peter Orszag warned yesterday that large federal deficits will eventually harm the American economy.  They already are hurting the economy.

 

CNN dropped off the list of the top 30 cable channels in prime time last month.

 

A British judge has finally made it official:  environmentalism is a religion.

 

In yesterday's elections in Warner Robins, Paul Shealy beat Dean Cowart for Post 3, Mike Daley and Linda Carnes are headed towards a runoff in Post 1, and Chuck Chalk and Chuck Shaheen are headed towards a runoff for Mayor.  Yes, we have four more weeks of this.  Here are the full, precinct-by-precinct results from yesterday's election.

 

In Centerville, incumbent Mayor Bubba Edwards lost to John Harley.

 

The race for Mayor in Atlanta is headed towards a December 1 runoff that could show a racial divide.
