Notes from Polls All Over
True Tea Party winner: Republican Mike Lee's win over Sam Granato in the Utah Senate race can't be explained away as a blind anti-Obama wave. Lee defeated Republican incumbent Bob Bennett in the primary. Bennett, the TARP-supporting, health-care co-writing RINO who held the seat for three terms, is the textbook case of the kind of lukewarm Republican the Tea Party was said to be undoing. Good for Lee in seeing it through.
Sisters aren't doin' it for themselves, but one sister is doin' it for her own self: Nikki Haley endures a season of hot-wife innuendo to become governor of South Carolina.
Interesting candidates fail; essential uninterestingness of politics preserved:
- Krystall Ball sucks the red dildo in Virginia's first district House race. Republican Rob Wittman comes through for all homeowners affected by Chinese drywall.
- She's you, which means you're a loser: Christine O'Donnell exorcised by Chris Coons in Delaware Senate race.
- Anti-homosexualist Carl Paladino gets cornholed by Andrew Cuomo in race for governor of New York.
Rick Santorum, former Pennsylvania Republican senator and namesake of erotic discharge, on GOP's gaining control of state legislatures and executive offices:
They're going to be able to redistrict these into permanent majorities in some case.
Dogshit race still not scooped up: Sestak-Toomey still in dead heat.
Is it a tsunamiquake? I say no. Dems lose House, hold Senate and some major governorships. And California hasn't even closed yet.
Sarah Palin and Gerry Ferraro together, for first time ever on Fox News: More intelligent than I was expecting from these dingbats.
