Rush today said very much the same thing: "Avoid distractions, talk about jobs, the economy, overspending, and the national debt. Make it about Obama, and conservatives will win big."

I agree. But this win is particularly sweet, for it suggests the left's trashing of both Israel and the economy is beginning to have serious consequences with significant portions of their base.

If it were not for the slavishly one-sided media, the problem for President Obama would already be much worse.

@Drakes Fortune: I agree; in the elections before 2008, Americans were like the frog in the slow-boiling pot. But BHO got into office with the help of the complicit media, then moved so far left, so fast we became like the frog thrown into a boiling pot. We're jumping out now.

Democrats are in an inherently stronger position now than in past decades, because of the growing percentages of minority voters and the continuing decline of white voters. And minorities vote much more Democratic than whites.

In 2008, the electorate looked like this: 74% white (lowest in history), 13% black, 9% Hispanic, and maybe 5% other (Asians, Native Americans, I don't know).

The latest Gallup poll has Obama's approval ratings as follows:

White 33%, Black 84%, Hispanic 48%

Do the math: 0.74 * 0.33 + 0.13 * 0.84 + 0.09 * 0.48 = 0.397

or about 40% approve of Obama. Plus those "others" (Asians?), from whom Obama gets another couple points of approval.

It's getting harder and harder for a Republican to win on the strength of the white vote.

If Reagan had to face an electorate that was only 74% white, with 13% black and 9% Hispanic, he might not even have won. In 1980, Reagan got 56% of the white vote, at a time when whites were 88% of the electorate. Today whites are only 74% of the electorate, a 14 point drop. 0.56 * 0.74 = 41.4%. That would have left Reagan 9 points short of a majority of the voters.

It will be fascinating to watch the morning news shows tomorrow.

This has to be the lede, right? What tales will they tell to insulate Obama? It should be fun to watch, and by "fun" of course I mean infuriating.

GREAT NEWS!

Take that Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Clinton, etc.

Wasn't Nancy just claiming she would return to the Speaker's position today, if the elections were held?

Another small step in the right direction. Of course, we didn't have time to see the fashion amongst debase Turner as a mere "RINO" pushing a stereotypical image offering which has enormous contradictions.

This is one positive, in the midst of a very difficult time for all Americans.

Time to put the Democrats on the dust heap, we have to do the job, and 2012 is essential.

Every 2 years assembly is up. So we rid him in 2012, same as Obama

According to AP, the district is 40% Jewish. I'm used to seeing Lutherans having those numbers in much of North Dakota and Minnesota, but an entire district being that Jewish is interesting.

Jews will never become Tea Party activists in any noticable numbers, but perhaps this is a sign that if pushed too hard by the Democrats, they will vote for a Republican.

 It's gonna turn, albeit slowly.  We will get our country back.   As frustrating as it seems, it has to go slow or it won't stick. Fast radical change is never good.

The progressives are going to kick and scream at your faces every step of the way.  They will accuse you of the most heinous acts we have not seen yet.  They are just getting started, but do not let it scare you.  It is evil, but evil is a huge coward when you can look it in the eye without fear and without anger.  The truth shall prevail because the truth has no agenda.

As seen on the net elsewhere: SOBs 2 - Hoffa et al 0.

Great news.
