Markey is going back to the Senate, thank goodness. We now have a GOP Governor again. Sad truth that~
We did this though~

(53,661 posts)Because if the seat goes to a Democrat, the governor can appoint another Democrats to keep that seat in Democratic hands. It's very important, we are at a tipping point between with the baggers who did plenty of mischief last year.
And as reported in the UK Guardian, no less:

Even I have become furious with the way we were emailed for money 24/7 by countless campaigns. I don't remember who heads the DNC. I normally know.
And it's my birthday too.

(9,652 posts)I know now that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is campaign chair. Stunned to see that as she's serving in Congress. The head of the DNC shouldn't have two jobs. Howard Dean was perfect and articulate. DWS is terrible when making the case for Dems. I've no idea why she got the job. Probably a wrong headed belief she'd appeal to women voters.
We need to promote green jobs and the health of our environment. If we don't take CC seriously, nothing else matters.

(18,748 posts)Every two term president since Eisenhower has lost both the house and Senate in his last two years, according to Rachel.
It's unlikely that any Democrat in this position, no matter what his color, would have bucked the trend.
It seems that by final quarter of an 8 year term the opposition party is so fed up that they always turn out enmasse and take over the Congress.
But the impeachment procedures that will soon begin will be based on his skin color even though it won't be mentioned.

(10,893 posts)the Republicans might not have even gained control of the House in 2010 in the first place and we would've had a jobs bill and a balanced budget long ago. One would think that the GOP and the bigots in general wouldn't have been so harsh towards him considering that he is 1/2 white, but nope. One drop rule. I'm left wondering if this country will ever elect another black president after how they've treated this one. If we do get another one, for the love of God don't let it be someone like Herman Cain or Ben Carson.

(9,652 posts)I refuse to listen to "analysis/BS" from the media which is Corporate America's mouthpiece. Supporting new leaders in the party - like Senator Al Franken - is my new cause.
President Obama still needs us to push for jobs via infrastructure and energy projects owing to climate change. It's time to resurrect the Environmental Movement of the 1970's.
Onward!

(3,919 posts)this is exactly what the 1% did to win the midterms - and they spared nothing to attack the emotions of people who are still pretty much in survival mode. i do not think there is anything that can really counter such an assault other than a revolution.

(6,151 posts)When racists are removed from the equation, the approval rating of this most noble of men hovers in the high 80's.
The only thing proven yesterday is that the Ignoratti/Idiocracy had breath enough left for one loud dying scream.
My reply to a post elsewhere:
"...... the only people we have to 'thank' for yesterday's election result are those who bent over and kissed the Golden Calf of Wall Street, aka KochHeads and their sheeple. You can answer your own question about 'why all the anti-GOP talk' easily just by looking in the mirror. Enjoy your last rays of stolen sunshine while you can - the demographic clock is ticking away, and your time on the political stage shrinks by the minute."
I won't start a whole new thread, but I do want to remind everyone WE'RE NOT BEATEN UNLESS WE GIVE UP! Keep the long game forefront in your mind and heart at all times.
