1 Dear God, where is the close tag for the italics?

2

The LAT is Obama's west-coast operation, so it's got to cheer the loss of a Clinton-backed Dem.

It's the only good news they have for BHO.

3 Italics is the new Hotness.

4 A Democrat wins a Democratic primary, and they're walking on air.

5 Democrats specifically touted the work of Organizing for America, or OFA, the president's former campaign organization that now works with the Democratic National Committee to support the president's agenda and the party's candidates.

So basically, a Tea Party candidate is going to kick a lefty's ass in November instead of kicking a more mainstream Dem's ass?

6
Fine example of how they think all elections should be - dem vs. dem.

7 Okay, this explains why I was so confused when I was reading all the yaaaay huge win stuff.  It read as if the Dem won the general not a primary and I wondered when the hell I blacked out and missed that general election.

8 ... "tea party"-backed insurgents ...

No bias there.

9

It's a breakthrough because it gives the Democrats a shred of evidence that the President and leader of their party isn't completely poisonous politically.

Just like some people are trumpeting Sarah Palin's "failure" to get her endorsed candidate to win in the Georgia primary.  Palin is batting 10 for 16 in her endorsements that have been election-tested so far -- and in Georgia, her candidate came within just 2,500 votes of victory, almost as close to a tie as it gets.

Hopefully an American League team can win the American League pennant, this year.

It's been a while since that happened.

11

They're all walking on sunshine over at the White House, brewer.

12

Such slanted reporting.  It's infected the whole blog!

13 It's just so beautiful...

14 These fools will need a supertanker of crying towels come November. It's gonna be great. Let me taste your tears!

15

You mean the incumbent Senator won his primary battle?

 

Shit, I never heard of that before.

16

 

And phase II of the insidious media's plan takes effect with the oft-repeated designation of "tea-party favorite" for all the Republican challengers.

Phase I, if you recall, was to smear and malign the Tea Party.

17

Man dying of thirst see many mirages.

... "tea party"-backed insurgents ...  No bias there.

I prefer the term "Tea Party Freedom-Fighter."

Actually, I think they would like to do away with those pesky elections altogether, but for now, they will have to be patient and attempt to hide their contempt for them as best they can.

20 Incidentally, the candidate backed by Bill Clinton and other prominent Democrats lost, so how this is a victory for Democrats, rather than the leftist wing of the party and Organizing for America, escapes me.

This would have been a great place to have typo'ed with "leftest wing."

21 There is a good clip of Hugh Hewitt on Hot Air regarding the elections.
Hugh Hewitt has a wonky, buttoned-down look of Thomas Haden Church.

Long time lurker - not an often time poster....but this has me hopping mad...

Seriously?  Is the tea party seriously being compared to the same people that have killed a lot of my fellow brothers and sisters in arms?

At first I was like oh wow just like the propaganda you'r read in Cuba or North Korea.

But then I was like, heh, the Obama admin and the Democrats sound just like THE BLACK KNIGHT.

They have us exactly where they want us!

31 The candidate who LOST the Republican primary attracted MORE votes than the candidate who WON the Democrat primary.  As a good friends of mine wrote, there's a graveyard nearby, and the Dems are whistling loudly.

Oh, and for the record, the winning Democrat has already asked Obama to NOT come to town and campaign for him.  That whole Corzine/Deeds/Coakley magic might rub off.

And, to sweeten the pot, the loser in the Republican primary was the one endorsed by John McCain.

I don't see a bad side of this - do you?

Democrats still popular despite anti-incumbent fever!

36 3. Some party officials are taking a "closer look" at a previously unheard-of write-in candidate who received 8,334 votes, a Mr. You All Suck

He has my support!

37 I think the reason the Dems were so happy was that, for the first time, someone Obama endorsed didn't get his ass handed to him by whoever was running against him.  Normally, an endorsement from O was the kiss of death.

38 Some party officials are taking a "closer look" at a previously unheard-of write-in candidate who received 8,334 votes, a Mr. You All Suck

We beat "D. None of the Above"!!!

OBAMA is BACK!

43 In that Colorado primary, the Republican turnout was 70,000 votes greater than the Democrat turnout, so yeah, we're screwed.

44

S'moron, heh, that is disturbing.

45 So "The One" kicks a Clinton endorsed candidate's ass? 

Think there is still bad blood?  Hmmm.

I sure hope this doesn't hurt turn out this fall.

That would be soo wrong.  A Republican might win!

46

Yes, just like the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey:

"My God, it's full of stupid"

Yes, an incumbent Democrat who was endorsed by a sitting Democrat President and won his primary.   What an accomplishment that is!  Of course the guy is still making noises like he really doesn't want the aforementioned Democrat President campaigning for him in the general election, where he probably thinks it would do more harm than good.

And why would he think that?  Probably because every time our jugeared socialist in chief tries to campaign for a democrat in a general election said democrat gets their ass handed to them.  Hell they couldn't even carry Massachusetts against a no-name republican challenger, a state so blue that people generally drive around it because it looks like it's part of the Atlantic Ocean for cripes sake.

But hey, the Liar of the Free World throws his support behind this incumbent in a primary, the guy wins, and suddenly Obama is obviously the best thing since sliced bread.  Never mind that Bennet, the incumbent, outspent his challenger by 3 to 1 and only won by 8 points.  Hardly a landslide under the circumstances.

And supposedly this is some sort of miracle handed down by the anointed one from on high?  Please.  What a joke.

47 Could it be that only die hard leftards have any interest in the Democrat primary? Wouldn't that explain Comrade Zero's "stunning victory"?

48 3. Some party officials are taking a "closer look" at a previously unheard-of write-in candidate who received 8,334 votes, a Mr. You All Suck

Alvin Greene was running in Colorado, too?

49 otal votes for Senate in GOP Primary: 407,110

Total votes for Senate Dem Primary: 338,537

Both Republicans got more votes than the Dem winner, Bennet.

51 Wow. That is soooo tight. I really like being part of the vast right wing INSURGENCY. What gravitas! What's next? Cabal, junta?

52 I hereby denounce my earlier postings today.  Seems yesterday's Roving Revolt thread caused my Muse-O-Matic to overheat, causing lame posts and false positives on my troll testing.  I've swapped out some boards, so now I--

What?  What about--

Oh.  Blast it.  Back to the workshop.

53  As a good friends of mine wrote, there's a graveyard nearby, and the Dems are whistling loudly.

No, their not whistling.  Their writing down names on the headstones so they can register extra voters in the general election.

Nope.. their using tool tips for that now.  Whenever your on one of their websites, if you hover over "tea party" the little box pops up and says "tea bagging racist redneck".

Shit, I never heard of that before.

Of course, incumbents being primary'd in the first place isn't exactly a vote of confidence.

73 The incumbent candidate won the primary, did not identify with Obama, and made a point of distancing himself from Obama when they claimed victory.

Yes, the Democrats have figured out that they need throw Obama under the bus to win. He has become the Democrat's Baldric ( "Blackadder" idiot foil character ).

as I've said in the past ...

Democrats want to blame the sunset on the GOP and take credit for the sunrise ...

how many human shields do they use now ?

children, teachers, firemen, cops, immigrants ...

everytime anyone talks about spending cuts they trot out one of these shields to defend their spending excesses  ...

they of course never trot out the military because that is the one Constitutionally mandated activity that they want to cut ...

(Bumped to the hipper, more happening thread.)

O/T: Know who thinks the JetBlue flight attendant is "fabulous"?

His ex-wife:

But Slater's ex-wife Cynthia Susanne, who has remained friends with her former husband, disagrees with these reports.

She told "Early Show" co-anchor Erica Hill on the broadcast Thursday these reports seem to be from attention-seekers.

"As far as I can see, it seems like an opportunistic path for some people to come guard right now," Susanne said. "I have known Steven to be only the consummate gentleman, a stellar flight attendant and a fabulous human being. There would be no reason for him to attack a passenger. If he was having an off day, it's a possibility, but there's no way that he would be verbally abusive to any of his passengers. He took his job too seriously."

In fact, Susanne said she didn't expect this kind of behavior from her ex, whom she's known for 20 years.

"Upon hearing the story, I was surprised," Susanne said. "This is really out of character for anything that Steven would normally behave like."

You mean, like having sex with men?  I'm guessing that you might have been a little surprised by that during your marriage, honey.

85 That 'flounce' the other day, turns out the hero just might have been being abusive to the passenger in question and had been in a snit during the flight.

86 Hey, Jeff, remember that everything bad is Bush's fault, while at the same time, everything good is Obama's fault.

87 stuiec:

I missed it by THAT much!

Dang.

88 89

actually on closer reading, stuiec was not scooping me about the Stevester.

89 In the proud tradition of calling O/T: Would someone please stick a dick sock in Sheppy-Poo "Perez Hilton" Smith's mouth and get him to STFU?

Just one more "planet Blago" or "our Blago" from the little shit and I'm gonna go out on a murderous rampage. And all y'all will have to understand that I was completely justified for doing it.

90 God I am one sick moron. After reading that, you aren't the only one.

91 ........the worse things get for Democrats the worse Jon Stewart's show gets (as it gets harder and harder to shoehorn the humor)?
Obama has pulled the rug out from under Jon Stewart. One thing that we can give him credit for.

92 Bennets opposition was offered a job in the administration if he would stay out of the primary. Also, Bennet was selected by the governor to replace Salizar.

93 Bad sock

94 The Colorado results were good news for the Democrats?

Colorado has more Registered (D) than (R).

More Republicans voted in the Primary than Democrats.  More overall voters, and more enthusiasm/impetus to vote shown by Republicans. 

Independents/unaffiliated are polled at a 60/40 Republican advantage, and a poll of all voters shows the Republican candidate with a 6 point lead (Rasmussen I think).

This is their "good news".  Fine, I hope they get better news.  Fewer voters, less voter enthusiasm, and an even bigger deficit on the polls should thrill them to no end; and I care enough to hope that's exactly what they get.

It's no more than they deserve really.

95 You'd think Democrat primaries are like the NFC championships during the mid '80s to mid '90s; whoever wins that automatically wins the big prize. Like the general election is just a formality, like a Superbowl against the Bills.

96 Like the general election is just a formality, like a Superbowl against the Bills. Low blow, my man.

98 On that supposed Palin defeat in GA I would like all to think about something.

Handel won the original primary vote by 10% yet her opponent came back to a very narrow victory.

That means he either won all the other votes are there were a lot of Dem crossover votes in the runoff.

Palin didn't lose, the process lost.

99 Until today, I didn't realize how racist we were being by pointing out the hollowness of this victory.

100

Please, please, please GOP do not screw up CO for November. Bennett needs to be kicked to the curb. His Peter Principle reign of terror needs to end.

101 The good news? for the Dems is the effed up governors race. Two separate local radio talkers have been pissing and moaning about that mess and one was saying it will hurt downstream races and calling the senators race downstream. Well *I* think the senators race should drive lots of turnout and the GOP has good chances of taking 2 seats currently held by the DNC, possibly 3 if the west slope is smart enough to dump Salazaar. The gloom and dooms can STFU and stay out of the way.

102 *duh, the GOP has good chances of flipping 2 House of Rep. districts from Dem to Rep. and might be able to flip 3 because Salazaar sucks as Sec of Interior and that might hurt his brother's race.

103 He has become the Democrat's Baldric ( "Blackadder" idiot foil character ).


Early Baldric or late Baldric?

In the first series, Baldric was noticeably smarter than Blackadder. By the last series, Baldric was putting on slug-balancing acts and carving his name on a bullet so he'd always know where the one with his name on it was.

104 The dems "bring it on, Palin; we can't wait to run against Tea Party candidates" theme must have been their JournOList talking point of the day- I've heard it at least twice already (not counting the quotes above).

106 NYT Headline tomorrow:
White House All Smiles; Obama Correctly Predicts Sunrise!
IN an unprecedented achievement, fraught with high-stakes risks, wildly popular President Obama won another yet bet against far-right wing conservative Republican Olympia Snowe over whether or not the Sun would rise before 10AM Eastern time. Keeping in line with his long string of stunningly successful predictions, including the amazing economic recovery, massive job growth, and plunging health care costs, our humble President once again bewildered his detractors with yet another perfect prognostication. White Houses sources, exhausted after a tense night of anticipation and observation, nevertheless, were jubilant and relieved. "We knew the President had really gone out on a limb there, he really put his neck out," said one staffer. "But, he didn't let us down! He never does! And by now we should learn to trust him!" eagerly chimed another. The President, however, was unavailable for comment, pushed out the door to another emergency vacation in Martha's Vineyard by top aides over concerns he may be exerting himself far too much in service of our country. 

107 Hey, what about Alvin Greene, the next senator from South Carolina? That has to be numero uno!
