Obama Backlash?

[Denny Crane]

So young people don't vote for senators? What quality voters

They voted for Pelosi/Reid in 2006.

But yeah, they don't turn out in midterm elections. /greenfont

Goes to show most of America don't give a fuck really

Like voting for the high school prom king

The narrative told throughout the media was that the democrats had an awesome "get out the vote" machine that was going to make this election close. Like this one of many.

You'll notice, however, that no one here fell for that line, unlike last time, when certain people here were totally taken with the concept of 'unskewing' the polls.

Nobody but the main stream media, you mean.

So much for Fox News driving everyone's opinion.

Does the mainstream media post here? I don't think so.

Kimberley A. Strassel in the Wall Street Journal:

“Oregon is a perfect example. The liberal state is competitive because it is a stunning microcosm of the Obamacare disaster. The FBI is investigating 'Cover Oregon,' the state online exchange that officials spent three years and $250 million creating, yet which never signed up a person. The cost of health care has soared in the state, and many Oregonians have lost their doctors. The majority of residents hate Obamacare, and Mr. Merkley—a freshman senator who has done little in D.C.—is sitting on way-upside-down approval ratings.”

George F. Will in the Washington Post:

“Given the enormous and growing role of medicine in this aging nation’s economy, it is unfortunate that only three senators are physicians: Wyoming Republican John Barrasso, an orthopedic surgeon, Oklahoma Republican Tom Coburn, an obstetrician, and Kentucky Republican Rand Paul, an ophthalmologist. Coburn is retiring, but another doctor [Oregon’s Monica Wehby] may be coming, straight from the operating room to her first elected office.”

Those are indeed amusing.

Let's just pause for a moment and consider the poor taste involved in using the word "backlash" in reference to injury caused to a person of Obama's heritage.
