| Pay attention all you candidates out there who pander to the right wing/conservative/moderate white crowd at the expense of your base, Give us a reason to vote for you or we'll stay our Donkeys' at home. The choice is yours. Give us a reason to vote for you, or we sit home. And you aren't going to make up the margins with conservative voters. They already know exactly who they're voting for, and it ain't you. You got that?
Look out blacks, gays and minorities in Virginia, you may be going back in time. Republicans Robert F. McDonnell who is now Governor Elect, Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling and state Sen. Kenneth T.

The Rude Pundit breaks it all down as only The Rude Pundit can in The Rude Pundit Style. Warning, raw. Forget what the assholes on TV are saying about the various elections and initiatives from last night. Who gives a shit what Michael Steele is crowing about? My sentiments exactly. There's lots more.
repubs really have nothing to gloat or cheer about. They are still a regional rump party. h/t mooncat. Across the country, Democrats still hold 60 legislative chambers and control 55 percent of the nation's partisan legislative seats. Our current position remains a solid one heading into the final election before the Census and the next round of Congressional and legislative redistricting.
The Legal Schnauzer says The Huntsville Times deserves our Most Deceptive Headline Award. You think? We've heard about selective prosecutions and political prosecutions under the George W. Bush Department of Justice. But the Alex Latifi case in Alabama can best be described as a "racial prosecution." And that makes it one of the ugliest Bush fiascoes of all.
