Cinderella story. Outta nowhere...

[John Picard]

This victory belongs to all the people. It shows the democratic process is still working.

So if the Democrat had won in this fair election, that would've meant democracy failed? And the victory would somehow have not belonged to the people who voted?

No, no. I'm sure he felt that way when Obama won as well.

It's probably because when Republicans win, the Democrats (and much of the news media) say that either the voters "threw a temper tantrum" [Tom Brokaw, 1994], or that the voters "are idiots and don't know what they're doing".

With that in mind, I'm curious if this is going to be considered a landslide victory considering Brown took 52% of the vote. Oh wait, he's a Republican, so it's a slim margin; however, change the name to Barrack Obama winning 53% of the electorate, and it's a landslide

It all depends on the bias of the person rather than looking at blunt facts.

I'm guessing you're not even watching the news. Everyone is saying Brown won because Coakley was a horrid candidate who barely campaigned. But continue to bring up single quotes from 16 years ago in an attempt to make it look like no one likes Republicans. [Me, 2010]

No one who knows anything considered Obama's popular vote a landslide. His electoral vote was.

Which will be in just under 3 years.

Well there should be a LOT less democratic senators remaining by then. I think Brown will be an acceptable loss. For now though, he fits the bill (so to speak) quite nicely.

So you think the nude model fits the bill? Okayyy...

Any no vote to the takeover of a sixth of our economy fits the bill. I don't care if he's Mary Poppins.

Then you're in favor of his stance on abortion and gay-marriage?

I believe they both supported abortion rights so that's tough to take. I believe he was against homosexual marriage as of December '09 unless he changed his tune.

I actually have no problem with homosexuals being civilly married anyway. It's a non-issue for me. As I said earlier I'm a centrist.

Not at all. There were only a couple of reports of vote tampering and not the widespread problem like we saw with Al Franken. The premature electionation release by the Globe showing a map of Coakley winning and which towns and their letter alleging voter fraud dated the day before the election were comical.



This is hilarious for those with a sense of humor.

Loved this sign at the rally last night.

From some of the stories this morning I think is was.

What does Washington state have to do with anything?

 

[Kirby]

Coakley ran a bad campaign, but it was her Curt Schilling comment that put the final nail in the coffin. Never piss of Red Sox fans.

Classic! They're all running for cover today so I believe they got the message,

 

[Misfit Toy]

Running for cover??? What color is the sky in your world?

 

[Squiggy]

Doesn't look like St. Glenn is a fan.

I want a chastity belt on this man. I want his every move watched in Washington. I don't trust this guy. This one could end with a dead intern. I'm just saying. It could end with a dead intern.

But you'd care if he was gay. Has he been outed yet?

Or not Christian. But I betcha he supports Lieberman.

I'm sure you'll be the first to let us know...

He's changed sides more than you have! I know you supported Obama but are you still a registered republican or no?

That's too broad of a question.

Have you ever or do you ever plan to vote for him?

I have never voted for him. As for the future it's hard to say. He changes his mind on the issues quite often.

Now how about answering my question from above?
