(Pa. Dept. of State) Interesting
The *gulp* you heard was from Nancy Pelosi: In Pennsylvania, a blue state where Democrats have a 1.2 million voter registration edge, Republicans won all but one judicial race

Thanks for the heads-up, subby. I will mark this date on my calendar as the day the Democratic Party died. They will never win another election, ever, in this country because of this, and the Republican Party, resurgent, will live happily ever after and all will be good with America.

judicial races ... holy shiat.

local elections are not the same as nationals. this is evidenced by the fact that i never vote for stroger machine democrats in chicago, but have yet to vote republican in a national. i'm still a democrat.

Minnesota has not had a Democrat as its governor since 1991 - and it's one of the bluest states around.

The political pendulum swings, this is nothing new. I wouldn't read too much into it. Next year I'd expect the dems to lose a few seats, probably not the majority though. Obama is a shoe-in as a two-termer unless he screws the pooch big time, as the reps really don't have anybody to run.

/end armchair political analysis

When stated, the point was that there were only judicial races won. Maybe we are on different scopes here.

Seriously, now that the Republicans have swept back into power so decisively will they be a little less cranky ?

He was trying to point out that you confused Virginia and Vermont (it's ok, they switch orders in drop-down boxes depending on if they're alphabetized by abbreviation or full name, so I'll often mess it up when entering my credit card.)

i believe this thread concerns pennsylvania. but, yes, moderate republicans did win those state elections against feckless dem candidates.

It's because of those Transit Unions in Philadelphia that went on strike and suppressed the voter turnout for their rural Republican masters.

Wait...what?

Great...this is what we hear about nothing judicial races in random states. I can't imagine what is going to happen when the opposition party picks up seats during the midterm election just like every other midterm election for the past half century.

img1.fark.net SEPTA Mass Transit Strike in Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs, voter turnout in those areas only 12%.

Oh yeah, smell that GOP resurgance

um...does the subby realize that outside of Philly and Pittsburgh, the rest of this state is solid Republican as far as the eye can see?

If you're running for a race as Republican and you are NOT in philly, you are going to win.
