• Get Your 2010 Attack Ads, One Year Early

  
  RedState — Authority: 801
  While it was largely lost in the debate over passage of Pelosi-care on Saturday night, it may turn out that the most politically costly vote many Democrats cast was against the Motion to Recommit. Simply put, the Motion to Recommit gives the minority party one last chance to force a vote on a change to the underlying ...

• Democrats Vulnerabilities on Youth

  
  Future Majority - - blogging progressive youth politics — Authority: 532
  I want to follow up Sarahs post with another to underscore something she wrote: The moral of the story continues to be that young voters will turn out if they are graced with the same outreach as older voters. That is, if you want them to turn out. Progressive candidates can win if they work to engage young voters ...

• A whirlwind of Political Correctness

  
  New England Republican — Authority: 499
  I’m not a follower of western religions; I practice Daoism (Tao). I have since the early ‘60’s, more of the philosophy than the religious aspects, but they cannot easily be separated. I heard this saying in childhood; I had to look it up to source it. “They Sow the Wind, and Reap the Whirlwind” ...

• Reading The 2009 Election

  
  ChrisWeigant.com — Authority: 466
  The two prevailing views so far seem to be: "Good news for Republicans!" and, alternatively, "Good news for Democrats!" It is possible that neither are true, and yet neither entirely false. There was certainly some interesting news, but its tough to read amongst all the spin.

  The Reaganite Republican — Authority: 588
  W ith mid-terms less than a year away , Tuesdays election results in New Jersey and Virginia should have a chilling effect on wavering Blue Dogs, thus undermining ObamaCares chances of passing in anything like its current form.

• Governance matters more than elections

  
  Ezra Klein — Authority: 810
  Mark Schmitt looks forward : Its governance, not elections, that will matter. If Republican governors like Chris Christie in New Jersey, Robert McDonnell in Virginia, or others elected in 2008 or earlier are seen as successful governors, thats the path back to power for Republicans. The Republican surge in the ...

  A Mouse Bouche: The Hart Sisters Eat Life — Authority: 108
  Dear Boo, Consider me a matzoh ball, momentarily bobbing to the surface to say hello and remind you Im here. Never fear, I am indeed, alive. Questionably so, but no matter. Forgive the metaphor. My brain is fried. And frankly, Im lacking in proper nutrition these days, which I suspect is beginning to affect my ...

• Election trends worth watching

  
  Ezra Klein — Authority: 810
  Dismissive as I am of trying to read too deeply into a small handful of statewide, off-year elections, there are a couple of structural trends worth keeping an eye on. The first is the composition of the electorate. The coalition that elected Barack Obama had an uncommonly high percentage of young and African ...

• NY23 Aftermath

  
  BitsBlog — Authority: 140
  Doug Hoffman narrowly lost the vote in NY23 last night, but that is almost inconsequential to the larger issues surrounding this election. First off, let’s make note of the fact that Owens bought his way into the race with 86% of his cash coming from outside NY23. Or is it 95%? That is not a situation ...

• How to lose by winning

  
  Ezra Klein — Authority: 810
  Im not terribly interested in the outcomes of todays elections. I imagine McConnell will beat Deeds. Corzine might edge out Christie. But the story of a disliked governor who managed to hold onto his seat by mocking his opponents waistline isnt exactly a feel-good. And NY-23 isnt really a race: A Democrat hasnt won ...

  College Candy — Authority: 662
  We all have to admit that aside from the five days a week of partying, the sexy men, and the girl talk/Cheeto-fests that lass into the wee hours of the morning, there are those aspects of college life that aren’t so great. And we make sure everyone knows how much we hate ‘em when we whine to our friends over ...

  The 2010 midterm elections can’t come fast enough. But getting the democrats out of power is going to be an uphill battle. Newsmax looked at the most competitive House and Senate races for 201o.

  The New Ledger Chequer-Board — Authority: 141
  The Obama Administration cannot be pleased with this : While the stock market has picked up and the country appears to be pulling out of the recession, a majority of Americans - for the first time in the Obama presidency - says the U.S. is headed down the wrong track, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News ...

  So midterms have come and gone.
