We're All Bigots Now

Ann Coulter: "The most important outcome of this week's election is that Republicans clobbered the Democrats in the state gubernatorial and legislative races. Next year, state lawmakers draw new congressional districts, determining the congressional map for the next decade. In the past, Democrats have had a 2-1 advantage in congressional redistricting. Not anymore."

ABOUT LAST NIGHT ........

Neal Boortz  "Rather was heard complaining that the Republicans had "demonized" Nancy Pelosi. Oh ... so that's the way it worked! This was all the fault of the evil Republicans!

"•It was the Republicans who made Pelosi say that they had to pass ObamaCare so the people could find out what's in it.

"•It was the Republicans who made Pelosi block Republican amendments to any important legislation.

"•It was the Republicans who forced Nancy to endorse the idea of a financial transaction tax.

"•The evil Republicans made Nancy Pelosi tell America that the Value Added Tax was "on the table."

"•The Republicans passed cap and tax and then magically made it look as if Nancy Pelosi's Democrats actually did that.

"Yup ... the Republicans did all of this just to make Nancy Pelosi look bad..."

The World of Obama — A Glossary

Victor Davis Hanson  ..."progressive: Alternative to liberal, used when the latter polls badly

"prolonged detention: Acceptable, as opposed to indeterminate detention

"radical Islam: A construct of the paranoid Right

"redistributive change: What the Supreme Court needs to work toward

"renditions: Ongoing Bush felonies now impossible to stop"...

Does Hillary lurk beyond impending Dem defeat?

(From Monday, Nov 1) If the Democratic establishment (still divided under the surface along the Clinton/Obama fault line) is convinced that another Obama run means the person taking the oath in January, 2013, will be a Republican (God forbid, they must be thinking, Sarah Palin!), I can see them easily jettisoning Obama and getting behind another concensus candidate. Who would be better than Hillary?

New Black Panthers Commit Outrageous Violations of Texas Voting Law

Pajamas Media  "They spoke with election officials inside polling places. After these discussions, white poll watchers were either denied admittance or ejected. White election judges were also removed, under threat of calling the police for trumped-up complaints."

Jan Brewer wins her first election to governor

KGUN Tucson "A swell of approval from voters who support Arizona's new immigration law and feel that most illegal immigrants should be deported helped Republican Jan Brewer win the governor's race."

Cher Calls Jan Brewer “Worse Than Sarah Palin” Now she tells me after I've already voted.

GET TO WORK: Repeal Obamacare

Heritage  "Congress should pass a law repealing the Obamacare statute and thereafter undertake a careful, thoughtful legislative process to make practical adjustments that allow the free market to provide affordable, effective health care insurance choices.
"Until Congress is able to get the President to sign a law repealing Obamacare, Congress should in the meantime endeavor to withhold funding, block key provisions, and override regulations carrying out Obamacare."

What Will the President Say?

Peter Wehner  "Obama will almost surely call for more bipartisanship and cooperation. He may well reach back to the rhetoric of 2008. But after two years of hyper-partisanship, the words will ring hollow. What will matter are substantive concessions by Obama."

The Democratic spin machine goes into overdrive

Slate  "How do massive Democratic losses in the House somehow add up to a rejection of Republicans? As DNC Chairman Tim Kaine explained, a GOP takeover of the House may be "a message from the American public." But it's not a rebuke of Democratic policies, he suggested. It's a message about the need for bipartisan cooperation—that "everybody's gotta work together." A vote for Republicans is thus a vote against Republican obstructionism. Or something."

Dan Rather Complains: Republicans 'Demonized' Nancy Pelosi, Turned Her Into a 'Villain'

Newsbusters "RATHER: A bastion of the liberal left. Ideal villain and they made a villain of her and they have demonized her from day one. And what was said earlier, what's made it easy for them is she's been so effective. One wants to remember, when health care was hanging in the balance, she put it on the line for President Obama. And now she pays the price for that. I'm not saying that she shouldn't. This is the way politics are. The Republicans zeroed in on her. Demonized her and did it effectively, unrelentingly so and winds up with eight percent approval rating."

Obama: Agenda 'all at risk' in any Republican romp

Google.com "Obama said losing lawmakers like Reid would make it hard for him to "keep making improvements in the economy."
"Across the board, thing have gotten better over the last two years," Obama said on KPWR. "The question is, can we keep that up? But we can only keep it up if I've got some friends and allies in Congress and in the state houses."

Philly Officials: New Black Panther At Philly Polls 'Doing Nothing'

TPMMuckraker  "The individual appears to be Jerry Jackson, who had a poll-watching certificate back in 2008 and was originally named in the civil voter intimidation case bought in the waning days of the Bush administration. The Obama administration did not pursue the case against Jackson or the national party, but did obtain an injunction against fellow NBPP member King Samir Shabazz, who carried a nightstick."
