| AP: Even If Republicans Win Tomorrow, They Still SuckWe didn't want to win these races anyway. We could have. If we tried. But we didn't feel like it. So, screw you. We're still winning. It's hard to read the AP as anything other than a DNC spokesman.For Republicans, an election win of any size Tuesday would be a blessing. But victories in Virginia, New Jersey or elsewhere won't erase enormous obstacles the party faces heading into a 2010 midterm election year when control of Congress and statehouses from coast to coast will be up for grabs.So... it's no different if we win or lose? Imagine if the Democrats were clearly ahead in these races. Try to imagine the AP's "analysis" reading: Victories in these races do not prove Obama's popularity or ability to swing races, and do nothing to erase the enormous obstacles he faces in passing health care reform or cap and trade legislation. You would never see that. If that were the case, it would, in fact, be a referendum on Obama, about how wicked-awesome he is. In fact, should the Democrats win, that is precisely what AP will say tomorrow. It's been a tough few years for the GOP. The party lost control of Congress in 2006 and then lost the White House in 2008 with three traditional Republican states — Indiana, North Carolina and Virginia — abandoning the party. So even if political winds start blowing harder behind them and even if they can capitalize on Democratic missteps, Republicans still will have a long way to go over the next year because of their party's own fundamental problems — divisions over the path forward, the lack of a national leader and a shrinking base in a changing nation.The Democrats, which control both Houses of Congress by large, unbreakable majorities, are unable to agree among themselves on cap and trade, card check, and Pelsoi care. And they have a national leader. Or Presenter, maybe. Do they have no divisions over the path forward? It is odd to me that whether we are discussing divisions or unity, we always speak of them negatively with regard to Republicans, and positively with regard to Democrats. Democrats united? The party is the most unified it's been in recent history. Republicans united? The party is becoming increasingly homogeneous and few contrary opinions are expressed. Democrats divided? The party is a rich tapestry of diverse threads. Republicans divided? The party is in a state of civil war and cannot even manage to agree with themselves, let alone put forward any consensus plans that make sense to the majority of Americans. Funny, that, isn't it? As a matter of fact, the Republicans are pretty well-united, as out-parties tend to be. We fight like wolverines on smaller matters, but we're pretty united on the big issue: Barack Obama must be stopped. But if the AP were to notice that, they would put it in terms of groupthink and so on. The GOP would overcome none of those hurdles should Republican Bob McDonnell win the Virginia governor's race, Chris Christie emerge victorious in the New Jersey governor's contest, or conservative Doug Hoffman triumph in a hotly contested special congressional election in upstate New York.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid might get kicked to the curb due the war within his base -- the same war, really, between idealists/revolutionaries and realists/incrementalists -- but again, it's only the GOP's problem. Because we just fundamentally suck pipe. ... Still, with Democrats in control, the onus is on the GOP to get its act together.Again, it's the out-party that needs to get its act together, not the party in complete control of government, which is unable to pass the legislation the president claims will admit of no delay. See, we need to "get our act together" to get a unified political message. But they do not need to "get their act together" to unify behind actual legislation Lord God King Obama keeps telling me needs to be passed three months ago. They can take all the time in the world for that. For us, we need to act mucho pronto por favore. Comments1

Looks like the GOP's got the pity vote locked up tomorrow then. The act will be gotten together in almost exactly 12 months from today. Posted by: Roy at November 02, 2009 04:09 PM (cB77O) 16
In Nov. 2008, the American people elected an incredibly popular figure as our President and gave him a commanding majority in both houses of Congress. Based on the expectations at the time of Obama's election, the one-year anniversary of his election should have been a moment of total triumph for him and his party, with the seas receding and the polar bears frolicking with the penguins. If the elections go the Republicans' way tomorrow, there is no way for the Democrats to avoid the realization that they've completely squandered all of their perceived advantages. They will of course spin the news as the AP has done, that the GOP wins mean nothing, but they will know the truth and they will begin to panic. That's especially true if Corzine loses. The Democrats made the horrible strategic error of blaming Deeds's faltering performance on his refusal to embrace Obamanism, in contrast to the heroic and surging Corzine. If Obama's avid support and campaigning for Corzine results in a Christie win, there will be a lot of Democrats trying to figure out how to say they were against Obama before they were for him.

They must be expecting a serious ass whuppin' tomorrow in the White House if this story came out less than 24 hours before the election. I thought it was bad that they basically tossed Deeds under the bus this weekend, but....damn.

between idealists/revolutionaries and realists/incrementalists I must say I reject this portrayal. On their side.. sure. On our side? It is not a war between revolutionaries and incrementalists. Unless you mean incrementalists from the other side. I would love conservative incrementalists. They do not fufill our agenda in increments. At best, they are content to restrict the enemies agenda to increments, at worst they try to coopt it. This is the point I have made before. I do not demand idealistic revolution. I would advocate an incrementalist approach. We aren't getting one. We haven't gotten one, not in the last decade at least, possibly not in the last few. Government size, scope and costs grow even under GOP majorities. Posted by: Entropy at November 02, 2009 04:10 PM (IsLT6) 20

Yes.
If Corzine loses, Obama will be seriously damaged. No doubt about it. That's why I'm trying not to get my hopes up. A Corzine win is a politial earthquake essentially making Obama's agenda a lameduck. Posted by: Dave at November 02, 2009 04:13 PM (Xm1aB) 24

What are they gonna do when there is no more market for their fertilizer? I would suggest the press is much further down the shit hole than the GOP. The Repubs can recover, I doubt the press is even capable. The AP is an organization that acts as a cooperative/collective of its member newspapers. It will be interesting to see what happens if and when the most liberal of its member newspapers fold and/or decide to shift their politics rightward out of desperation to appeal to a broader readership. The remaning member newspapers might just tell the AP to extract the liberal bias out of their operation; I wonder if the AP management and reporters would comply?

Swiped from Hotair's headlines: Today, it's McDonnell 58%, Deeds 40%, according to this latest SurveyUSA poll conducted for WJLA-TV Washington DC, WDBJ-TV Roanoke, WTVR-TV Richmond, and WJHL-TV in the Tri-Cities. McDonnell has never polled below 54% or above 58% in SurveyUSA's polling on this contest; Deeds has never polled below 40% or above 43%. In the race for Lieutenant Governor, the story is much the same: Republican Bill Bolling today defeats Democrat Jody Wagner 57% to 41%. Bolling has consistently polled between 52% and 57%; Wagner consistently between 40% and 42%. Republican candidate for Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli leads his opponent, Democrat Steve Shannon, by the largest margin in these races today, 20 points. Cuccinelli today wins 59% to 39%, nearly double the 11-point lead he had when polling began three months ago. Filtering: 900 Virginia adults were interviewed by SurveyUSA 10/30/09 through 11/01/09. Of them, 795 were registered to vote. Of them, 574 were determined by SurveyUSA to have already voted, or to be almost certain to vote on or before election day.Let the bloodletting begin!

Gosh, it keeps getting better! The hits keep on coming. I'm glad to see that there are still some Republicans with balls who are going to man up and confront the challenges/lies presented by the media and Democrats. From Sarah Palin's Facebook in response to Slow Joe's statements at the Owens rally castigating her for being so stupid in regards to energy independence. Response to Vice President Biden's Comments Today About My Position On Energy Independence Today at 10:12am As the vice president knows, I have always advocated an all-of-the-above approach to American energy independence. Among other things, my alternative energy goal for Alaska sits at 50 percent because Alaska reached more than 20 percent during my term in office. The Obama-Biden administration, on the other hand, recently announced a renewable goal of only 25 percent. However, domestic drilling should remain a top priority in order to meet America’s consumption and security needs.The vice president’s extreme opposition to domestic energy development goes all the way back to 1973 when he opposed the Alaska pipeline bill. As Ann Coulter pointed out, “Biden cast one of only five votes against the pipeline that has produced more than 15 billion barrels of oil, supplied nearly 20 percent of this nation’s oil, created tens of thousands of jobs, added hundreds of billions of dollars to the U.S. economy and reduced money transfers to the nation’s enemies by about the same amount.” This nonsensical opposition to American domestic energy development continues to this day. Apparently the Obama-Biden administration only approves of offshore drilling in Brazil, where it will provide security and jobs for Brazilians. This election is about American security and American jobs. There’s one way to tell Vice President Biden that we’re tired of folks in Washington distorting our message and hampering our nation’s progress: Hoffman, Baby, Hoffman! - Sarah Palin Heh! That's going to leave a mark, and the AP's going to be spinning faster than DJ A.M.

PGiS, leftism is an inherently unreconstructed and immature philosophy. People are born socialist. Only when they become mature and have to face the responsibilities of real life, are they forced to consider conservatism. Those who still spout leftism are the same people who were never forced to examine why the world works: the youth, public officials, homemakers, professional agitators, academics, the congenitally unemployable.

O/T but 2 topics I'm sure the AP won't mention today: 1. Today is the 30th anniversary of the Iranian Hostage Crisis 2. Today is the 5th year anniversary of Theo Van Gogh's murder by Islamic fundamentalists. (I just had this brought to my attention by Ed Morrissey who links the two things). In the AP's worldview, there is no such thing as Islamic fundamentalist terrorists, only radical right winged Christian extremists, who are much worse and the greatest danger to free society.

Never, never, never. J-schools turn out unreconstructed leftists. That's why they go to J-school nowadays. News organizations do not see themselves as businesses, except perhaps local news. They see themselves as public utilities or the way an empty liberal inner city church sees itself. They are doing a public good, whether they can actually operate or not.

Nice get there, Ace. And a good post, too. Wonder how long Frickin Liz has been voting straight dem tickets there at the Asshole Press? Obviously, she is trying very hard to become a member of the Obama exPress. The article is a supreme example of how the MSM is kneeling at the feet (or crotch) of Obama. Unfortunately for us, it is very hard to overcome a press that is overlywhelmingly liberal and democrat. Kind of makes me wonder how we ever win a single election. But, by God, we may win all three of them, and if we put a Republican governor in New Joisey, I will have to take back all my comments claiming it can't be done.

I think that the AP has it at least partially right. There is something of a civil war on the Right, for the principles we choose to champion. We do need to get our act together and present at the very least an incrementalist approach to reducing the scope and cost of government. So let us not all put the cart in front of the horse.

I take exception to lumping homemakers into this category. If they are at home these days, it is because they have embraced the sanctity of the family- a conservative concept. They are likely very involved with their children at school, and are well aware of the pressure to indoctrinate their kids- perhaps even homeschool as a result of thorough dissatisfaction. They are also very likely have been well educated, as well as likely having initiated a career. They get it. They listen to Dr. Laura, Rush, and Glenn Beck has replaced "one life to live" as must-see-TV. The others you've mentioned... yep. Very comfortable w/leftist thought. Homemakers as a group? I just don't think so. Posted by: Derak at November 02, 2009 05:07 PM (s5FaG) 113

Posted by: Vic at November 02, 2009 05:32 PM (CDUiN) If there ever was a fight worth having, fighting vote fraud is it. if there is any hint of election fraud the Republican Party needs to muster every resource it has to uncover it and prosecute it. In my mind there is nothing more vile than vote fraud - something that Democrats specialize in. If we don't fight this with every fiber in our bodies then nothing else really matters, does it?

I have a bad feeling we're going to need to descend upon the state capitol in New Jersey and NY-23, on Wednesday. We need to put an end to the Left stealing elections. These people should be executed for treason. Posted by: Tweet beats dead horses at November 02, 2009 05:38 PM (GUQ08) 160

Bush's win in 2004 was very sweet. The best part was how Kerry and Silky Pony left their supporters standing in the pouring rain in Boston for hours.

We told the Republicans, while they were still in power, to do something about voter fraud and illegals. We explained to the Republicans in power that if they didn't do anything about these two issues, they'd be out of power, maybe even forever. Did they listen? No. Posted by: Tweet beats dead horses at November 02, 2009 05:43 PM (GUQ08) 166
The AP is picking up a line that plenty of liberals are using nowadays: that even though Democrats have trouble, Republicans are in worse shape because they still aren't succeeding with independents.
Tomorrows' elections are likely to give a lesson on this very topic. Public Policy Polling wrote last week that while Republicans are stuck where they are in terms of name ID - or even declining - they're still going to get the votes of the Independents tomorrow. These 'middle-of-the-roaders' may call themselves independent, but they are functionally Republican: http://is.gd/4LsiD And at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter whether people call themselves Republican, Independent, or Democrat - as long as they vote for our candidates.

From Politico, an article about Pro Fox Democrats (like Bob Bechel, Susan Estrich etc.) Estrich encouraged Democratic pollster Doug Schoen to join Fox Nation at the end of the 2004 election. Weary of the unpredictability of other networks’ schedules, he was happy to sign on — and says he’s encouraged his Democratic friends to do the same.
“They are the most professional network of any I have dealt with,” he said. “If you are a Democrat who wants to deliver mindless talking points on Fox, it’s probably best to go to MSBNC and hope you get a chance to recite them. I think Fox encourages critical views of all sides, asks different kinds of questions and wants to have diversity of view.”
Beckel believes Fox viewers are more open to the Democratic side of the story than stereotypes might suggest. And indeed, a 2008 Pew Research survey found that while almost half of viewers who regularly watch Fox News identify as Republican or Republican leaning, 39 percent tip Democratic and 12 percent have no stated angle at all. Heh! Take that AP and all you other Fox hating, drain circling Lamestream media! Posted by: runningrn at November 02, 2009 05:44 PM (qP2BK) 168

Absentee ballots are the most powerful tool the lying, cheating Democrats have. True dat! After successfully stealing a gubenatorial election, WA democrats were instrumental in making our statewide elections all absentee balloting. I absolutely refuse to vote absentee.

If it doesn't make any difference if we Republicans win or lose, then I'd rather win and see if it makes any difference to the Democrats. As for the civil war among Republicans, I have just signed peace treaties with all my Republican pals. One faction wanted the Democrats beaten while the other faction wanted them humiliated. We compromised and settled on both. Posted by: Tantor at November 03, 2009 02:49 PM (SWvPS) 198
