Republicans attempt to build momentum off of beating Democratic C team

[blackflame2180]

Something that's been on my mind: ok, Tuesday there were elections in which the two governorships transferred to the Republicans. Yesterday and today there's been a lot of articles attempting to somehow project this into some kind of Republican resurgence

It cracks me up that they are claiming victory in NY-23.

Kaine was still head of the VA Dems as well as the National Party and HE still couldn't energize the masses. If Obama had spent major time in the state...if he spent as much time in VA as he did in NJ...Deeds still would have lost. You all still lost the Independents that made VA swing red. VA is still a harsh bellweather for Democrats in the south (those that remain) and the Mid-West. Dems have overreached and turned off Independents, that will only worsen as the year goes on. To hear dems spin this as much as they have is amusing...

Deeds specifically distanced himself from Kaine, in the debate no less. He avoided appearances with Warner, and with Jim Webb. He avoided rallies in NVA, fearing that they would alienate southern Virginians. He avoided campaign rallies in the first place because his campaign feared his stuttering disability would lead to YouTube clips that would sink the campaign George Allen style-- as it was the McDonnell campaign was able to successfully use his inability to speak clearly at the post-debate press conference in a multitude of campaign ads

There is something terribly wrong about the title of this post.
