The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Election 2010 Results

First... the Ugly --

Jerry Brown? Really...?!?!

Barbara Boxer... (*SIGH*)

California truly deserves everything it gets. The problem is... we're all going to suffer when "We" (the People of the other 49 states) are forced to pony up the (borrowed) money to bail California out of the hole her irresponsible voters (and their elected representatives) have dug her into.

And speaking of irresponsible...

Andrew Cuomo...

Chuck Schumer...

Kirsten Gillibrand... (*HEADACHE*)

Now of course we knew this would happen. I mean, the NY GOP is as dysfunctional as any state Party organization in the nation. (Once again Giuliani let us down...)

Back to state governorships...

What a bummer that Tom Tancredo lost...

Deval Patrick re-elected...? Really...?!?! (*SIGH*)

(And Barney Frank re-elected...?!?!) (Don't even get me started...)

Over in Nevada it looks like 'ol Harry Reid is going back to Washington. This is of course extremely disheartening, but... (*SIGH*)... it is what it is...

One point about the Nevada races: While I'd love to be able to believe that the only reason Reid one was that he somehow "cheated" - won by engaging in voter fraud - the fact that his son lost the state's governorship by a large margin discounts the "Reid won by fraud" theory. (To a large extent, anyway.)

Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying that Harry Reid and his corporate and union allies didn't bend the rules... even break the rules... but I doubt that any actual fraud which took place will rise to the level of magnitude - not to mention legal standard of proof - to overturn the Senate Majority Leader's re-election.

Over in Alaska, assuming the initial results hold and Joe Miller loses to self-serving RINO "Princess" Lisa Murkowski... (*SIGH*)...

(*SHUTTING MY EYES*) (*SHRUG*)

In Connecticut... liar Richard Blumenthal... REALLY...?!?!

In Delaware... Christoper Coons over Christine O'Donnell... (*SIGH*)

Yes... O'Donnell was a flawed candidate. No doubt! That said... she would have voted the right way in the U.S. Senate.

As expected, Barbara Mikulski handily won re-election in Maryland. (*ROLLING MY EYES*)

In West Virginia... Manchin pulled it out. (*SHRUG*)

Second... the Good --

Actually... allow me to start with GREAT news: Alan Grayson, A--hole-Florida, was soundly defeated!

(*WILD APPLAUSE*)

Oh... and then of course there's Marco Rubio kicking the crap out of that dirtbag Charlie Crist.

(*HUGE FRIGG'N GRIN*) (*WINK*) (*HIGH FIVE*)

Let's see... other key bright spots...

Sean Parnell - Sarah Palin's handpicked successor - won the governorship of Alaska. Big!

Governor Jan Brewer handily won re-election in Arizona.

(*WINK*)

Republican Brian Sandoval handily beat Harry Reid's son - "Prince" Rory Reid - in Nevada. (Now we have to hope that Harry Reid doesn't corrupt and co-opt Sandoval via pork and special interest federal legislation focused on Nevada.)

Susana Martinez took the governorship of New Mexico away from the Dems. (We'll see how that plays out...)

John Kasich is back! He'll soon be sworn in as the new Governor of Ohio! (This is huge...!!! He'll be yet another convincing national spokesperson for conservative ideals!)

A Republican - Tom Corbett - has won the Governorship of Pennsylvania. This too is huge news... particularly when coupled with...

(*DRUM ROLL*)

The election of Pat Toomey as a U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania!

Oh... and how'bout Nikki Haley in South Carolina...?!?! Go Tea Party...!!!

Finally... Back to the Ugly... and the just plain Bad --

How many... er... less than worthy candidates were elected re-elected?

(*SIGH*)

Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Lee, Pete Stark, Henry Waxman, Maxine Waters...

Oh, hell... I can't even bear to go on! This is just the worst of the worst from one state...!!!

Anyway... you folks get the idea.

Now, folks... our job... keep the Republican House and the Republican Senate Minority on the straight and narrow. Keep after Republicans to stand for "our" values... to stand up for the Constitution.

There are plenty of RINOs - and worse - out there, folks.

We must keep up our principled offense... as well as keeping up our principled defense.

If we can't "take back" the country over the next couple years... then you can "put paid" to the Great American Experiment.
