Doesn't bother me, Repugs like Scuzzy ain't my bag. if anything I'm a
conservative. The big tent will include us

The issue is if the shrinking GOP tent will include moderates.

Dede Scozzofava a Republican?

That's what Repugs were telling us for 11 years.

And the difference between her and a Democrat is what?

She belongs to a third party and a Democrat belongs to a major party
-- the _only_ major party.

Hey dumbass, you check the Virginia and New Jersey results?

Libertarian Party candidates sometimes win elections too.

Lessons from the 2009 election results
By: Michael Barone
Senior Political Analyst
11/04/09 3:08 AM EST

My Wednesday Examiner column, written as the 2009 election returns
were coming in, stands up pretty well. But let me add some
observations written as the course of the elections became clearer.

First, in the governor elections in Virginia and New Jersey, the
Democratic candidate ran far behind Barack Obama’s percentages in 2008
and the Republican candidates ran ahead of George W. Bush’s
percentages in 2004. The numbers are pretty daunting. In Virginia
Creigh Deeds won 41% of the votes, way behind Barack Obama’s 53% in
2008. And in New Jersey Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine won 45% of
the votes, way behind Obama’s 57% in 2008.

In contrast, the Republican candidates won higher percentages than
Bush won in the recent high-water mark of the Republican party in
2004. Republican Bob McD. won 59% in Virginia, well ahead of
Bush’s 54%. And Republican Chris Christie won 49%, ahead of Bush’s
46%. On the basis of these numbers you could say—in races where the
issues were reasonably congruent though not identical to national
issues—that Democrats were performing far below their recent optimal
levels and Republicans were performing well above them.

Second, and here I want to credit for this observations longtime
Democratic pollster and political analyst Pat Caddell, affluent
suburban voters moved sharply toward Republicans in 2009.

Bergen County, New Jersey, a 56%-42% Corzine constituency in 2005,
came within a point or two of voting for Christie, and in Virginia
McD. carried 51%-49% Fairfax County—Republican for years but
recently in cultural issues and with an increasing immigrant
population Democratic (60%-39% Obama in 2008). I

n addition, Westchester County, New York, voted 58%-42% for a
Republican county execctive after voting almost exactly the opposite
way, in a race involving the same two candidates, four years before .
The Philadelphia suburban counties, increasingly Democratic in 1996,
2000, 2004 and 2008, voted Republican in a partisan race for the
Supreme Court in 2009.

From the 1996 election up through and including 2008., affluent
counties in the East, Midwest and West have trended Democratic,
largely through distaste for the religious and cultural conservatives
whom voters there have seen (not without reason) as dominant in the
Republican party. Now, with the specter of higher tax rates and a
vastly expanded public sector, they may be—possibly—headed in the
other direction. An interesting trend to watch.

Finally, third, what will be the impact of these elections on
forthcoming votes in Congress on the Democratic leaddership’s
controversial and unpopular health legislation. The Virginia Board of
Elections give us some hints when it aggregates the results by
congressional district. In the 2008 elections three Democrats captured
three previously Republican congressional districts in Virginia,
giving Democrats six or the eleven-member delegation.

The results of the gubernatorial election show that at least some of
these Democrats are imperiled.

In the 2nd congressional district, where Democrat Glenn Nye beat
Republican incumbent Thelma Drake 52%-47%, McD. beat Deeds
62%-38%. In the 5th congressional district, where Democrat Tom
Perriello beat Republican incumbent Virgil Goode 50.01%-49.85%, or a
margin of 727 popular votes, the lowest in the country, McD. beat
Deeds 61%-39%. In the 11th congressional district, where Democrat
Gerry Connally won 55%-43% a district vacated by Republican incumbent
Tom Davis, McD. beat Deeds 55%-45%. And the southwest, coal-
producing “Fighting Ninth,” represented since 1982 by Democrat Rick
Boucher, voted 67%-33% for McD..

I cannot imagine that Congressmen Nye, Perriello, Connally and Boucher
have not already accessed the websites which have shown the position
of their constituents in a contest which, while like all governorship
contests has its own specific features, was also in its contrast on
issue positions reasonably congruent with those prevailing on national
issues. And I can certainly respond with sympathy if any or all of
these incumbents responded to these numbers with a two-word comment of
which I will relay only the first word which is, “Oh.”

The 2009 election results are certainly not going to make it easy for
Speaker Nancy Pelosi to round up the needed 218 votes for Democrats’
health care bills.

This has happened before. Repugs took Keyes out of MD to run for
senate against a Democrat a few years ago and the Democrat won.
