Is it me or does CBS's Harry Smith seem a little upset about the election results?

authored by "sceptyczny" at 1:16pm! This idiot is sick, and absolutely lives in a fantasy world. Dangerously delusional! How would you like someone like her living on your block. Or worse yet, in your family! I'm convinced that her entire life, revolves around this blog. She was exposed as a liar, she was shamed, she was laughed at, and she was ridiculed. She was forced to leave, but then she changed handles, only to return to continue her lying ways. We all know who she is, we know that she cannot ever be truthful, yet her delusions will not let her leave. She is one sick puppy. An intervention is needed, someone call her family! They're in Maine, sellin' their property. lol......

Obamas days are numbered, so no reelection. Dem'Wits are following a President that doesn't have what it takes to be a real leader. The Mouth'Pieces talk is cheap. What the ill prepared Obama says and what he can do are two different things. God help us!

The race baiting going on within the GOP because Steele is black is disgusting.

I think you are off base on this.

The majority of folks on TH wanted Steele best I recall. One or two wanted Dawson, who would have likely gotten it had he not stepped on his crank and mashed the pink part.

I also recall Steele giving one hell of a fine speech after he won the office. He promised to take names and kick stern. I have since seen him on TV, but never heard him make a strong statement -- all sounded more middle of the road.

Don't know what Rove wanted -- and don't care.

I am not going to vote for somebody simply because they have "R" behind their name.

I'm not really unhappy with NY23 results. Sarah...

Why don't YOU quit being racist and treat black people, i.e., the way you'd treat white people or do you think they're too different from us? You really are a liberal deep down. go help the patronizing Dem/libs keep those colored folks in line why doncha?

Sorry but I was a huge Steele supporter when he first got elected. Now not so much. I just do not feel he has gone out with a good strong voice for the conservatives of the party.

There is no pure candidate and no pure party. That being said, Steele has done a great job in being 'inclusive' of americans from all walks of life. If you replace him with another establishment white guy - Obama is going to be re-elected. The chairman had a BIG JOB to do when he was elected. The Republican Party was in shambles and he has done a great job bringing in new younger voters. In CO we are seeing a resurgence of young republicans/conservatives who don't mind talking about winning with a republican candidate.

The race baiting going on within the GOP because Steele is black is disgusting. Rove did not want Steele but if the GOP had rejected Steele, the wins last night would not have been possible. It is too sad that the...

I saw the Kaboom post and got a good laugh. Just wonder how she has time for Maine when she is busy trotting around Europe as she claims. Well I can just imagine how devastated LL Bean and the State of Maine were when they heard the news. What a fool she is.

As far as Steele is concerned I am very disappointed in him. I had high hopes but find that he stays in the mushy middle and I do not think that is where we need to be right now. Crist is another one who I believe is far from being a conservative. If the repubs continue to back democrats that stick an R after their name they will wind up with very few followers come next election.

just had an interesting call from a higher-up in the Florida Republican Party. He indicated, without exactly saying, that Steele is on his way out. He didn't sound big on Florida's RINO governor either.

I thought Steele was the best of a bunch of bad choices. But, maybe I was wrong. (Almost as wrong as the time I voted for Carter!)

Did you take notice of sceptyczny's post above concerning selling the family property in Maine and stopping dealing with L.L. Bean?

Boy, that should really put Maine in its place!

Yes kaboom the pathological Liar. You must admit that sometimes she is just too funny to ignore. She forgets which lies she has told and then makes up new ones that contradict the others she has told. Not to worry we all know she is nuts but she does provide some entertainment. God knows no one takes her seriously or believes a word she says. Pure entertainment that is all.

And, hey, Mikey, that $900,000. Did it include title to the Brooklyn Bridge?

were voted on last night. A 25 point shift toke place in Virginia, and a 20 point shift toke place in NJ. This is stunning, and represents a total repudiation of all. Just one year ago, i remember James Carville breathlessly, proclaiming that obama's election represented a permanent "realignment" in Virginia. And showed that the South was changing, and that leftists could begin to win, there. Last night showed the idiocy of that assessment. 08' was in fact the anomaly, a perfect storm if you will, where all the right elements came together, at just the right time. obama was able to put people under the ether, where they saw him not as he was, but as the wished he was. That was then, this is now. The people are no longer under the ether,...

is still trying to downplay the conservative movement. He is trying to co-opt it now by saying "We" and "conservative movement blah blah blah". He is denying the fact that there IS a fight going on between cons and RINOs and shows his weakness by pretending that the RNC couldn't have strong armed the NY23 to do the right thing.

We are still at war with the Repubs. They need to surrender to us cons and then get out of the way if they want to win.

The handle makes no difference, this person is one sick puppy. This person has been shamed, ridiculed, and exposed as a liar. Yet this mentally ill, individual keeps comin' back for more. When she has no credibility or relevance. Nothing she says can be believed. So how can anyone engage in debate with such a one? Don't feed her mental illness. Therefore, steer clear, of "kaboom".

as I said, the same thing happened when Bush was in office in 2001 (even with 9/11)....Dems won in VA and NJ.

No big deal either way. The only vote that angered me was the one in Maine, and our family is already taking care of the property we own there. We'll make sure the local officials know why our extended family's property will be sold, why we won't be spending any of our money there. I emailed LL Bean this morning and told them I won't be buying anything from them anymore. A number of us are putting together a list of companies in Maine who do business nationally and on-line, and will publish that list accordingly. The American way to protest....

I suggest you visit a site that posts nationwide newspapers.

Republicans won a LOT of stuff in various races. Two that stick in my mind are mayor of Greenville, N.C., (or S.C.?) previously held by a demo incumbent and a supreme court judgeship in Maryland. I don't recall the others, but there were lots around the country.

The republicans failed to gain a democratic congress seat in CA., but the party is happy because the republican came a lot closer than expected in this heavily democratic district.

what besides two governors' races and a bigot law did the GOP 'win'? If Dems won in 2002 for gov. of VA and NJ, after Bush was elected, why would their winning these governorships be so important now.

Remember that President Bill Clinton would never have happened were that election in 11/91.
