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."

ABC News Caves Completely to Intolerant Left, Cancels Breitbart Election Night Appearance

Big Peace  "By continuing to release these provably false statements, ABC News is attempting to disguise and cover up for the fact that they are giving in to the PC, anti-free speech forces on thelLeft. Anyone concerned with diversity of opinion and the idea of open, healthy debate should take note of this and the recent firing of Juan Williams from NPR. Major news organizations are caving to those intolerant of the free expression."

Alaska's Red Hot Senate Race

Fox News "Interestingly, the poll found that Miller had the highest negative rating and McAdams has the highest favorable rating. The problem for McAdams is not Joe Miller, but Lisa Murkowski. She appears to be getting significant support from people who like McAdams the most, perhaps from those who think she's got the best chance to beat Miller."

Obama's Economists Missed What Voters Plainly Saw

RealClearPolitics  "...That's one way of looking at it. Another way is to say that the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress have increased government's share of gross domestic product from 21 percent, where it's hovered for the last several decades, to about 25 percent and have put the national debt on a trajectory to increase from 40 to 90 percent of GDP."
"Voters have noticed -- and don't like it."

Biden rally draws 200 people

WTOP.com "Joining Biden were New Castle County executive Chris Coons, who is considered the favorite in his U.S. Senate race against Republican tea party favorite Christine O'Donnell."

Video: The Ad the Media Didn’t Want Delaware to See



Pajamas Media  "Fool me once, etc. I’m not buying the “forgot to air it” excuse. Not when these “mistakes” keep happening to GOP candidates but not Democrats. According to Hot Air, some readers complained, and the cable station blamed the fiasco on Comcast. I’m not buying that either. Not when the mistakes keep helping one side.
"Here’s the ad that Comcast or the staff at that Delaware cable station — or both — didn’t want the voters of that state to see."
