Wingnut Wrapup- Election Edition

First, a word about what really happened yesterday. Two republicrats- Specter and Lincoln- ran into huge troubles from real Democrats, with Specter losing and Lincoln forced into a runoff which she will likely lose also. In the only Republican-Democratic matchup of the day, the Dem won strongly, despite weeks of Republican crowing about how they were going to take the seat. And on the Republican side, a candidate strongly supported by the party lost to a teabagger. That's a great day for the supposedly washed up Democratic party. Except here:

Town Hall: "Voters back anti-DC, anti-establishment candidates...With the electorate's intense anger reverberating across the country, this is all but certain: It's an anti-Washington, anti-establishment year. And candidates with ties to either better beware"

Except for real Democrats. They did just fine. Obama, are you listening?

Dick Morris, Town Hall: "The message of the May 18th primaries is that it is open season on incumbents...Both Specter and Lincoln are now reaping the harvest of their votes for health care."

That's why Specter and Lincoln did so poorly running against candidates who were much stronger supporters of health care legislation than they were.

Of course, let's not forget that Dick Morris only opens his mouth for two things: lies coming out and prostitutes' toes going in.

Red State: Let's just pretend it didn't happen. If we don't talk about it, it doesn't exist.

Confederate Yankee: "You can find pundits on both sides to spin the results as a victory or a disaster, but the simple fat of the matter is that last night's votes don't really amount to much, and November is very, very far away."

Of course. Democratic victories never mean much, do they?

Rick Moran, Pajamas Media: "Dems Counting 2010 Chickens with Egg on Their Face"

Another classic example of Republican projection. Of course, maybe Dems should be counting their chickens. If the Republicans win in November, they are going to need them to pay for medical care.

Newsmax: "Strong ‘Anti-Obama Vote’ in Results...election results are showing a strong “anti-Washington” and “anti-Obama” vote...if the Democrats don’t move quickly to the center, they are “going to pay a huge price” in Congressional elections"

If the Democrats don't move to the center...Thanks for the well meant advice guys, but seeing as how the more progressive candidate did great in every Democratic race, I think we'll make our own decisions

Renew America: No comment.

World Net Daily: No comment.

Can't handle the truth, huh?

C. Edmund Wright, American Thinker: "Another Very Bad Night for Obama, Democrats, and the Media... The biggest losers were Barack Obama and the current far-left Democrat Congress and their notion of a large and intrusive government."

See my comments above. Why repeat them. Dems winning is bad news for Democrats.

"Perhaps the worst news of the night for Team Obama was the Democrat win in the special election in Pennsylvania for Jack Murtha's seat...make no mistake: Yesterday's elections were definitely an extension of the conservative ascendancy that is taking hold in this country."

The worst news was when a Democrat won a seat that you guys have been crowing for weeks about stealing. You know what? I hope that's the worst news for Dems that we hear this year.

John J. Miller, National Review Online: "There are two kinds of senators: Republicans who don't like Specter and Democrats who don't like Specter," says a former leadership aide... Yesterday we were witnesses to its full truth: Democrats don't like Specter, either."

Which Democrats showed by voting him out of office. Republicans showed their dislike of Specter by re-electing him over and over again for thirty years.

Dan Riehl, a couple of days ago: "This is the race right now. If Burns wins, it's huge for the GOP. Even if Critz were to pull it out, that would not mean Democrats have turned it around. They're simply looking for anything to hang that hat on." "Winning PA-12 Is A Big Effin' Deal"

Today, it don't mean nuttin. And Dan's stickin' to that story.
