With both Virginia and New Jersey governors' mansions going to Republicans, and conservative Doug Hoffman's team now predicting victory in House district NY-23, we have Barack Obama losing important races where he and the DNC pretty much gave it all they had- but independents swung-hard to the right, a hideous shock for the pompous Team Obama. And this shot across the bow was desperately needed for the sake of the country, too- as this crew is way out-of-control.
As has been discussed, this is a similar situation to 1993 when the GOP took both of these same gubernatorial races on the way to a midterm rout of the Dems -forcing Clinton to the right and off his HC reform- from 1994-onwards. McDonnell's victory in Virginia was a real blowout, too- almost twenty points at last count... and this coming just a year since Obama won the state by a comfortable margin.
Some on the Right might not see Mr Christie in NJ as a true conservative, due to some of his views... but the message to our misguided and radical White House -as well as jittery Blue Dogs up for election next year- is clear: this country's had about enough. The excuses, blame deflection, and spin will be delivered frantically from the left this week... but the truth is that the Dear Leader's prestige has been seriously damaged, and this may in-fact be a significant turning-point for the political balance in this country.
These victories -along with the lessons of NY-23- couldn't come at a better time for the GOP, as to provide momentum and steer the party towards Reaganite candidates in the runup to mid-term elections next year. Tonight we saw the the latest manifestation of a backlash that the dinosaur media and online Left have been working so hard to hide- but has been brewing for some time now.
Gibsy tried to claim that Obama "wasn't watching" the returns this evening- and was already downplaying their significance. Does anybody actually believe that?
About time for a Marlboro, eh Barack?
Note that this is what things looked like for the Dear Leader going into this debacle tonight- not good:
