the beginning of the end for o-BAMA. Bring on the 2010 Congressional elections. Health care vote is going to get very interesting now.

...there's the agenda about climate change.
I believe the chickens are coming home to roost... followed by the singing of Richard Wagner's fat lady.

reporting that exit polls said that 4 in 10 voters said that the direction Obama and the democrats are taking the country factored in to their decision. So while the WH will play it down ... a message was sent.
Plus Obama campagined hard for Deeds and Corzine .... NJ has been a strong liberal state and Christie won big .... it has been 8 years since the GOP had the govenors seat in VA ... and Obama won by 6 points last year ... now there was almost a 30 point swing. So close to 1 in 3 people that voted for Obama in 2008 now voted the other way.
Even Reid is now saying he will not be rushed on healthcare and it could take more than a year before it is finalized. Who was trying to rush him?? Obama?? And a year from now ... gee after the mid term elections. Hoping to save his seat.

There is no doubt that yesterday's results sent a message but we can't be too complacent about this election. 2010 is the real test for Obama's agenda. That will be the opportunity to realign power in the House and hopefully send a few Dem Senators packing. Having said that, expect both houses to still be controlled by Dems after 2010 (or at best we get a very slight majority in the House but that is a long, long shot).
And lest we become too optimistic, remember that despite the ruinous policies of the White House on domestic economic issues and his fecklessness on foreign affairs the economy will be on the mend by 2012, joblessness will likely be down and Obama will take credit for all of it. Granted we will likely have been defeated in Afghanistan and the deficit will be mind bogglingly monumental (it already is actually). But he will still be very tough to beat in 2012 unless the economy is still in a shambles. Defeat of Obama is not worth that cost in my view. I would rather regain control of both houses of Congress and allow him to be an ineffectual lame duck second term President than continue to see the lives ruined by his incompetence just to make him a one-termer.
While those of us who are conservatives always want what is best for America, and the defeat of Obama is what is best for America, we have to avoid being like the Dems during the Bush administration where bad news for America was greeted with glee over the potential electoral success it would create for the left. One thing going for us is the government media won't do that since it will hurt their Messiah.
All that aside, it is nice to be on the winning side again!

We are not on the winning side. We are taking some comfort in the winning of a few battles. We are on the winning side when we see all Americans voting unselfishly on what is best for America... when we see reverence for the Constitution restored and the Bill of Rights reinstated. AND

I don't necessarily think it is "the end" of Obama, but I do think it is a course correction that the WH and Congress need to take note of. One commentator said this morning that it is not necessarily a referendum on Obama, but it reflects that people are losing patience with the Democrats on the whole.
I'm delighted because my friend who was running for VA State Delegate won. And he was running against an incumbent.
