AP pre-spin: These elections mean nothing and the GOP is doomed
Hot Air » Top Picks — ... see that. If that were the case, it would, in fact, be a referendum on Obama, about how wicked-awesome he is. In fact, should the Democrats win, that is precisely what AP will say tomorrow. So they will, and don’t be surprised if it comes packaged in a nudge to centrists that they’re now free and clear to take the plunge on a “robust” public option because Corzine won a bluer-than-blue state by two points or whatever. Since we’re doing pre-spin, though, make a mental note of these campaign mailers from Deeds and Corzine that Jim Geraghty’s collected so that you’re prepared ...

ACORN Ballot Fraud in NY-23?
THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS — Ironically, while right-wingers are rolling their eyes at Patrick Gaspard's involvement with Scozzafava's campaign and worrying out about ACORN's plan to protest the election results tomorrow, the Nutroots are just plain scared about possible ACORN ballot fraud in NY-23.

It's not like this is a really important race or anything, for both Democrats and Republicans going ...

2009 Elections Had Nothing to Do With Obama?
Brain-Terminal.com — ... might lead you to think that they were running to become Obama’s vice president. So if anyone was trying to make this election about Obama, it was the Democrats who lost. But now that the results are in, expect to hear the refrain repeated: these elections had absolutely nothing to do with Barack Obama! And if recent history is any indication, you can expect Obama to start pinning the blame on George W. Bush any time now.
