I suppose that’s one way to spin it. Why not just cut to the chase and say the people who enthusiastically turned out to support Obama and Democrats in the pastkept their wallets in their pockets and stayed home in 2014. |

You guys are listening to the wrong people, obviously.... there are still 68% of Oklahoman's who are perfectly content with our current state of affairs (like the one she had with the highway patrolman).
Being "Ok" is plenty good enough....
Only 40% voted, and of those 55% voted for Fallin.... so technically 22% of voters in Oklahoma stated that they are content with Fallin. 78% voted against her or didn't vote at all. |

That's Obama math from earlier today. |

Only 18% felt strongly enough against her to actually get off their butt and vote against her. 82% wanted her to continue to be Governor or didn't mind her continuing. |

So 82% of the voters are related to kimchi. |

I'm very happy with is election, even blue states like West VA went Red because of the democrats war on coal & oil, coal is the life blood of West VA, Oklahoma as usual went solid Red. Obama still plans to Bull-On against the wishes of the people with his open amnesty plan for 34 million illegals, still plans to ban the Keystone Pipeline, and will allow no coal digging in West VA. Obamas war on Coal & Oil is still going strong. At least the republicans will stop the ship from taking on more water and we can start fixing the leaks until things change in 2016.

Saw several of the exploding heads this morning talking about how the Republicans out-spent the poor Democrats with the backing of. . . THE EVIL KOCH BROTHERS! It seems they are mistaken.  Republicans didn't need to outspend, all they had to do was get out of the way. Best not to interfere with your opponent when he is in the process of destroying himself. All that was necessary for Republican victory was just the slightest association of a Democrat opponent with president Obama, or his policies. This election was not won by the Republicans, it was lost by the Democrats. |

Sounds like we'll have 2 years of attempted repeal of Obamacare.
I'm pretty sure we're not going to see much difference with the new senate.

Which is what I said six months ago when I was sure this would happen. Happens every six years especially in the final midterm of a President's second term. Happened to the last four presidents if I'm not mistaken. Except that now the divide between the parties is so incredible sharp, that pundits are already in an outrage when ole Turtle McConnell said he was willing to start compromising. The hard line right wingers will have none of that so called 'compromise'. It used to be known as 'governing'. |

This election was a vote to stop Obama, if the voters wanted a comprimise with Obama they would of voted for more democrats. The voters spoke loud and clear to change direction, and stop Obama. It looks like the Keystone Pipeline could be built now many democrats in the senate side with the republicans in supporting the Keystone pipeline and they have votes to over-ride Obama's Keystone veto. Harry Reid is no more. There'a new sheriff in town.

Wasn't that big a "loud and clear" - the Senate change of 7 states was done with dramatically reduced turnout - 38 states had reduced turnout from 2010. And of those 7 states, the difference was about 585,000 votes out of about 7,555,000 cast for Rep and Dem. About a 7% difference - which means that is Dems had gotten about 3.9% more and Reps had gotten 3.8% less, the Senate would not have changed that much. Realistically, this shows that we are still massively divided. People are massively uninterested for whatever reason. And small polarizing "shocks" to the system can have huge effects. And this note really isn't to sauer, since he won't understand anyway....he still thinks Keystone will mean something economically significant for Oklahoma and the nation.... And Hoss,....yes he is, and yes, we have lots of them here....see results for Failin', Inhofe.... |
