Think Republican Party gains in the midterms would amount to a repudiation of the liberal agenda? Not so fast, says Paul Pierson, coauthor of the much-anticipated book out this week: Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer and Turned Its Back on the Middle Class. Historically, the party out of power has averaged a 32-seat pickup and a two-seat gain in the Senate. "GOP gains are to be expected" he says. "We have an electorate deeply disappointed on the jobs issue."

They are ALL about Obama, you sleeping nimmy! The guy is the head cheese of the government corruption of which we are all so aware (that is, with the exception of his four-legged liberal cheese-eating followers).

We can certainly throw the baby (Obama) out with the bath water ("spendocrats") on this one. That's for sure and for certain!

The predictions of a Republicans Sweep were premature. The tactics to scare folks away from the polls aren't working because it was built on the premise the the election is over and its already been decided. Apparently its not, this is just another lie coming for the far right trying to buy the election.

The game is not over.

If anything we are witnessing a backlash against the crazy freakin' Republican Tea Party. All the negative GOP hate tactics peaked early and all the bogus money in these campaigns now is starting to be seen as the BS for what it is. Good thing, too. We don't need to go back the garbage Republican policies that have bankrupted this country.
