Election Results: New Generation of Diverse Republican Leaders NOV 3 2010

In New Mexico, Susana Martinez becomes the first Latina ever Elected governor in the U.S. She was also Life Responsible for Political Perhaps the best commercial of the Entire campaign season.

One of the more things that it Absurd. Harry Reid said the campaign was DURING That They Could not Understand how Hispanics nudged vote for the GOP. Well, the governor-elect of Reid's home state of Nevada, Republican Brian Sandoval, is of Hispanic decent. In a Further Irony, Sandoval soundly defeated Reid's son Rory in the gubernatorial election.

Although They Fell a little short in the Senate, the GOP made historic, unprecedented in Capturing the Gains Majority in the House of Representatives. This Includes the election of black Republicans Tim Scott of South Carolina and Lt. Col. Allen West (Ret.) in Florida.

Whatever the case, though Angle's performance at the polls ended with a relative whimper, Especially considering the high Expectations In Her Ability Thurs Cripple The Three-headed Obama-Pelosi-Reid hydra by defeating the Democratic Senate Leader, Many Believe That her Return to Politics , Whether at a state or national level, is likely.

The Reno Gazette-Journal has Laid out a few Potential Areas That Angle nudged explore, Including Smaller contests for state senate, or for a House seat in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District, a Possibility That Could Be Opened IF ITS current occupant, Republican Dean Heller, The challenge decides Thurs.

Election Results: Republicans Capture House, Democrats Hold Onto Senate

"I Voted" Sticker
For Months, Republicans Have Been predicting That They Were On Track To Make Major Gains in the midterm Elections, and on Tuesday Voters proved Them right by handing the GOP major wins in the House of Representatives, as well as in the governor's mansions and state houses across the countryside. 
The most Crucial pickups for the Republicans were in the House of Representatives, M Fox News projected That the GOP rolled up 55 wins for a commanding 239 seats to the Democrats' 183, More Than Enough Thurs help set the agenda for the next two years. 

That MEANS That on Becoming the first female Speaker of the House in 2007, Democrat Nancy Pelosi will step down in January To Make way for a Republican speaker, Which will likely be more than just Ohio's John Boehner. "The American people's voice was heard at the Ballot Box," a "some-times emotional Boehner said on Tuesday night. "Across the country right now, we are witnessing a repudiation of Washington ... a repudiation of big government ... and a repudiation of the WHO politicians refuse to listen to the people. ... We have real work to do, and this Is Not the Time for Celebration. " The New York Times Reported That President Obama Watched Election Returns late into the night at the White House and called the Boehner After Midnight Thurs offer his congratulations. 

Polls Indicated That the red tide at the Ballot Box was spurred by voter Discontent with how President Obama and the Democratic leadership of Congress have handled the Financial Crisis, a distaste for the Democratic Health Care Law and Fears That Government Spending is Out of Control. Despite talk of repealing the Health Care Law from a number of Republican Candidates, Experts Predicted That it was scrapped Unlikely To Be Because Of a number of popular Provisions in the bill, as well as the reality of Democratic control of the Senate and a veto Certain from the president. 

In one of the most Closely Watched and bitterly fought Senate races in the country, Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid Barely escaped a challenge from Sharron Angle, a Loss That Could have helped tip the balance of power in the Senate Towards Republicans as well. In all, the Republicans Picked Up at Least Six Democratic seats in the Senate, Including the one formerly Held by President Obama in Illinois and two claimed by rising-star Tea Party Candidates, Florida's Marco Rubio and Kentucky's Paul Rand. 

They DID NOT, HOWEVER, notch Enough wins Thurs Take Control of the Senate, Which will stay in Democratic hands thanks to a Slim Majority. Though a few Senate races are still outstanding in Washington, Colorado and Alaska, Democrats have Secured 51 seats in the 100-seat chamber. 

In South Carolina, Nikki Haley became That state's first female governor, while California Voters decided against controversial Ballot Measure Proposition 19, Which Would have legalized marijuana possession and Cultivation for adults over 21 In all, the Republicans appeared To Have Picked up 10 governorships Previously Held by Democrats, Including Those in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Wyoming, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma. 

Some Democrats won governorships, HOWEVER: Former California Governor Jerry Brown defeated billionaire ex-eBay chief Meg Whitman, WHO spent More Than $ 100 Million of her own fortune in the race, and New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo - son of former Governor Mario Cuomo - Easily defeated Republican challenger erratic Carl Paladino Thurs Take the New York contest. 

The still-undecided vote in Alaska Could Become Historic Also if a write-in Candidate, Senator Lisa Murkowski is Able Thurs Defeat Republican nominee Joe Miller Thurs Become only the second person to win a write-in Senate campaign. Murkowski, a Republican Also, was the Leading at press time, But it Could Be Days or Even weeks before final results are CONF

2010 US Election Results: West Coast and Late Breaking Results

Some late breaking results are trickling in from the West Coast as well as Other Races That Have Been too close to call. It Appears That the Democrats will narrowly hold onto the Senate and the House Surely lose. The Margin Is Not Completely clear yet and somethings Races May take a few days to sort out. I am grieving Alaska is one of Them. In the Senate, there are somethings in New Races That Have Been Called. The Biggest news is from Nevada. Harry Reid is projected to win over the Tea Party Candidate, Sharron Angle. This was a tough and hard fought battle. Reid Will Remain the Senate Majority Leader, although Many people counted him out. 

News media Such as Huffington Post and NBC all a Predicted Reid defeat.Ron Wyden, Democrat incumbent from Oregon, is projected to win handily. In the state of Washington, incumbent Republican Mike Crapo, defeated his Democratic opponent. Barbara Boxer, the incumbent Democrat from California, beat Carly Fiorina. Republican Mark Kirk won the Senate seat in Illinois. Democrat Daniel Inouye won re-election in Hawaii. With Inouye's win, Democrats will hold onto control of the Senate. Pat Tommey, the Republican Senate Candidate from Pennsylvania, won in an extraordinarily close race. Tommey claimed victory before news Outlets Even Called the race. With Tommey's win, the GOP Picked up six new seats in the Senate. 

There are a few Senate races are still That too close to call. In Colorado, The Race Between Republican Ken Buck and Democrat Michael Bennett Still Can not be called at this late hour. Bennett is the Leading, and the precincts counted Been That haven't are more Democratic Regions. In Washington, it is still too close to call a winner Between Dino Rossi and Patty Murphy. 

Proposition 19, California in the Measure That Would legalize marijuana for personal use, is likely headed for Defeat. I am grieving Thousands of Californians are lighting up in the depression. Note to all the big money That defeated Prop 19 - Just Because Remains Illegal Pot does Not mean people aren't smoking. You Wasted your money. In better news, California Voters soundly defeated Prop. 23, a Ballot Measure backed by Big Oil Interests That Would've Suspended California's landmark global warming legislation. "In the midst of a major Economic down turn, and with a barrage of fear mongering and Scare Tactics, Voters Said They still want a clean energy future," said Tom STEYR, Co-Chairman of the Well has 23 campaign. 

As I write this, Republicans have won 43 seats Currently Held by Democrats and are Leading in Another Two Dozen districts. Democrats have only Picked up two Republican seats, hurting Their chances of keeping the party in power. Republicans Need to capture 40 seats to win back the control of the House, That They lost in 2006. In cringe Worthy news, Rep. Michele Bachmann has won the most expensive campaign in the history of the House of Representatives in Minnesota. Bachmann Founded the House Tea Party Caucus. The three way Senate race in Alaska Will Probably Not Be Known For a Little While. The polls close at 1am EST in Alaska and we will report the results As They are Known....

Alaska Senate Race Results

Alaska Senate Race Results
While there were Hundreds of Political Elections Taking Place Across the country on Tuesday, the most unusual race Must Have Been the Alaska Senator Race. As of this morning, 76% of the votes cast in Alaska HAD Been Received and counted. 
The person winning the race so far was Not either of the Candidates on the Ballot, But Instead the "write-in" Candidate. 

Of votes That Have Been Received, the write-in vote had occurred Received about 41% of the votes. 

This Leads the Pack as Republican Joe Miller HAD Received only 34% and Democrat Scott McAdams HAD Received only 24%. 

The winner of the "write-in votes is EE To Be Senator Lisa Murkowski, Who Is the incumbent in office. Murkowski launched a full-write-in campaign, and if she wins, she will be the first senator Elected via write-in in over 50 years. The actual Tally of votes for Murkowski will most likely Not Be Known for a few days.

Alaska Senate Race 2010: Alaska Election Results 2010

Alaska Elections 2010: Odd Alaska Senate Race - It had Been One of the strangest Senate race That ever I've seen so far. There are two official in the Ballot Candidates That of Republican and Democrat Joe Miller, Scott McAdams, HOWEVER They Are Not The Ones Leading in the official count and Alaska Polls. So Who Is Leading? 
Leading the one with More Than 70% of the ballots counter are independent and "write-in" option. The "write-in" option to lead 40% against the two. These options Includes all Other Candidates Which Are Not included in the Ballot Bout Can be Written and opens the door for non-Party Candidates. 

Alaska Senate incumbent Lisa Murkowski WHO was beaten by Miller in the GOP primaries Because of the backing of former Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin launched a write-in campaign for her reelection bid. If the write-in ballots or wins Comes Within 1 Percentage points of the top vote-getter then the ballots will be recounted Thurs Evaluated and assess the actual votes cast for Specific Candidates. 

The evaluation of the write-in Candidates CAN take weeks and will considerably delay Proclamation of the winner in the Alaska Senate election race. It looks like the Senatorial Candidates in the Alaska Senate Race Will Have to deal with this. 

Meanwhile the Republicans triumphed in Alaska Elections 2010 race for the House and Governor. Republican incumbent Don Young defeated Democratic Harry Crawford for the House and Republican incumbent Governor Sean Parnell defeated Democratic challenger Ethan Berkowitz.

PA Election Results for 2010 Governor Race Updated

The PA State Election Results For 2010 Have Been updated with the projected winners for the governor's race as well as Senate and House seats up for grabs. With most of the precincts Reporting, Tom Corbett, Appears To Have Won victory in the PA Elections for 2010 over rival Dan Onorato.

The win by the Tom Corbett Continues the trend of Republican wins in 2010 over the WHO Democrats lost control of the House of Representatives.

In the PA Senate race, Republican Pat Toomey Holds a Slight Edge in the Voting results with the race too close to call. Some news reports have projected That Toomey is the winner but no official confirmation has Been Made.

The state ended up with the winners Especially Mostly Republican in the House Where 12 of 19 seats Went to the GOP while only seven ended up with the Democrats signaling a major shift in the state.

The Target on Pelosi's Back.

Republicans won at Least 58 seats in the House yesterday, more than just EE and a bigger victory, by six seats, please the sweep in 1994. I Watched the results at a Tea Party Patriots election night party last night and, More Than Anyone, the party's Attendees Hated the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. In Fact, the target is painted Pelosi's back Might Even explain somethings of the Victories: I can envision Those motivated by the Tea Party to vote casting Their ballots for Republican Candidates While visions of tumbling from her Pelosi speakership Played in Their Heads.

Why the Hatred? Some of the Reasons are Obvious. President Obama's choice to stay above the fray in "some of the most vicious debates, Especially in Health Care, That meant the nitty-gritty work on the bills most Hated By The Tea Party was left Thurs House leadership, and that's Pelosi. And, unfortunately for her, she Provided a sound bite for publications predisposed Thurs Hating her, like the Heritage Foundation's blog The Foundry, "when, speaking of the health care bill, she Told the National Association of Counties," But we Have to pass the That bill so you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. " This was in March, "when Congress was still working out the details in the final legislation. Those I talked to last night Considered That really arrogant, and ignorant. They Took it as a sign That the lawmakers weren't reading the bills, and as Evidence of Pelosi's use of bad Processes Thurs push bills through the House. That Those things, to the Extent Thurs Which They are true, were no Different from before Pelosi's reign doesn't matter.

Did liberals hate Newt Gingrich on this badly, they Took over in 1994? Probably. But the tone, of course, is Different. Pelosi is arrogant, Pelosi is matriarchal, Pelosi is incompetent at The Tea Partiers Called her "Nanny Nancy." Those are descriptions of ITS impossible Thurs see Not influenced by her gender. But in the end, the Tea Party Probably hates her for the most turbid of reasons why liberals will remember her fondly service as speaker. She corralled Difficult votes for legislation, and Got Things Done.

One of the seats most hotly-contested That was of the Senate in Nevada and the count is now 100% and shows That incumbent Harry Reid has managed to hang on Fri his seat.

Nancy Pelosi in Republican Crosshairs As 2010 Midterm Election Results Come In

Nancy Pelosi won back her seat in the House with relative Ease But now her real Battle Begins as Republican supporters vent much of Their Anger Towards the California Representative. Pelosi has Been Speaker of the House for the Democrats and it is EE That she will step down and make way for the Ohio Republican John Boehner.
Pelosi's Role as speaker is Just One Of The Many losses the Democrats suffered in yesterday's 2010 Midterm Election as Republicans rode a wave of voter Tidal Discontent and Took Control of the House of Representatives.

The Republican party is projected To Have at Least 239 seats in the House, while Democrats Have Been projected to win at Least 184 seats. Only 12 seats are still up for grabs, making it impossible for Democrats is Thurs. hold to the Majority.

A party Needs only 218 seats in the House of Representatives TO CONTROL IT, signifying That Republicans will now be in control for the next two years under Democratic President Back Obama.

Many Republicans used Pelosi as a focal point for Their attacks on the Democratic Party as she was one of the more visible politicians. It is likely she will stay on as Minority Leader.

Nancy Pelosi Election Results: Is Big Republican Win A Referendum On Nancy Pelosi?

Was Yesterday's Huge Republican win a referendum is a Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi? Election results indicate Would Shem Thurs it was, as the Republicans Targeted mom and grandmother in campaigns across the country in 2010, insisting That Congressional missteps have led Thurs Higher Unemployment rates and the slower, please, we'd like, recovery of the economy.

Obama Takes His Daily Dose to Defend His Presidency

President Barack Obama talks with host Jon Stewart  gestures during a commercial break on The Daily Show
WASHINGTON: Barack Obama has defended his first two years in office, Targeting Young Voters DURING an interview on a popular satirical TV talk shows, urging Them Thurs keep faith with his Legislative Program.
Less than a week before Tuesday's midterm Congressional Elections in Which Democrats are EE To Be punished for America's tepid Economic Recovery and High Unemployment, Mr. Obama ticked off Key Achievements, namely That his administration had occurred staved off a second Great Depression while posting historic HealthCare and Financial Services Regulatory Reform.

But the President Told The Daily Show host Jon Stewart, That Would it take time to Fulfil all of the pledges made DURING his 2008 presidential campaign.

Advertisement: Story Continues below
When we''Promised DURING the campaign 'Change You Can Believe In ", it wasn't' Change You Can Believe in, in 18 months',''they said. It was''change you CAN believe in But, you know what, we're going to have to work "for it.''

When Stewart Pressed, Asking Whether the rhetoric of Mr. Obama's election pitch had occurred in over-inflated Expectations of an audacious Legislative Program, (''Would not You say you'd run this time as a Pragmatists? Would not It Be, 'Yes We Can, Certain conditions on ?'''), Given the president conceded Would they be inclined now Thurs modify his mantra with a qualification:''Yes, we can: But it's not going to happen overnight.''

It was the first time a sitting president has appeared on the show in Which Stewart, a former stand-up comedian whose zany take a current affairs has Drawn Following a cult, often skewers guests by exposing Hypocrisy.

Stewart will lead a''Rally Thurs restore sanity''tomorrow in the National Mall in Washington as an antidote to the rallies over the northern summer That Drew Thousands of Tea Party and Other Conservative supporters.

The Obama interview Almost ran for 30 minutes. But apart from occasional banter, Mr. Obama remained Serious, Determined Thurs push the Democratic cause, while Taking issue with Stewart's Characterisation of "some of his legislation as''timid''.

Clearly rankled, Mr. Obama responded:''Jon, I love your show, But this is something where I have a profound disagreement with you ... this Notion That's HealthCare was timid.''

Mr. Obama added''the Assumption That is we did not get 100 per cent of what we wanted, we only get 90 per cent ... so let's focus on the 10 per cent we did not get.''

On the economy, Mr. Obama said:''If you Told Me two years ago That We're Going To Be Able Thurs stabilise the system, stabilise the stock market, stabilise the economy and, by the way, at the end of this thing it will cost Less Than 1 per cent of GDP ... I'd say: 'We'll Take That'.''

But they dodged Stewart's next question about Whether They Would Accept That Same Outcome HAD Known That They Would Be on unemployment near 10 per cent.

At Another point, Mr. Obama acknowledged Voters' frustration and impatience. ''Over and over again we've Moved Forward an Agenda That Is Making a Difference in People's Lives Each and Every Day,''they said. ''Now, is it Enough? Well. I expect, and I think, most Democrats expect out there That people want to see more progress.''

President Obama Focuses On Economy During 'Daily Show' Visit

Wednesday night (October 27) was a historic one in the world of late night television (and politics as well) as President Barack Obama paid a visit to "The Daily Show" in Preparation for this Saturday's (October 30) Stewart-hosted "Rally Thurs Restore Sanity "in Washington, DC (Which, It Should be noted, Will Not feature an appearance by Obama, a moment that was used as last night's "Moment of Zen"). The President - Not Necessarily the WHO has gotten a free pass on "The Daily Show" in Recent Months - addressed a number of Issues and Concerns for the duration of the show.
Following a raucous reception, Obama addressed the current state of the Union related to the "Issues Surrounding the midterm Elections. Though He Is Proud of his accomplishments (Including steps forward related to health care, personal debt and public service), they noted "Is it Enough? Well." Still, they asked people to vote for members of Congress WHO Stood by Their convictions and Voted for things that May Have Been Good Policy But Bad Politics. "I hope people are rewarded for Those Taking tough votes," they said.

In the interview's key moment, Stewart asked Obama why Sometimes there seemed To Be Such distance Between what was Promised DURING the campaign and what is Actually being accomplished. "Legislatively, it Seems timid," Stewart Challenged.

"Jon, I love your show, But this is something where I have a profound disagreement with you and Other pundits," Obama responded. "This Health Care Bill Is Not timid. This is what most people say is Would Significant as a piece of legislation as we've seen in this country's history. What happens is it gets discounted Because We Got 90 Percent of what we wanted, ie, we'll focus on the 10 Percent we did not get. "

Obama did not get into the Nearly Amount of depth, they got into during Easy on MTV's "A Conversation With President Obama," a few weeks back, and the conversation rarely strayed from Economic issues. But it remained informative and entertaining for the ITS duration. "You know what Might have made a difference? If You Had Held the" Rally Thurs Restore Sanity "Two years ago," Obama said at the end before imploring everybody to vote.
