That may be true, but how dumb do democrats look when they are out there pretending not to support him? Or not wanting to admit to voting for him. I mean, lol, did anyone buy that?
Republicans hold Kansas and Georgia, meaning they need 1 state to take the senate. North Carolina and Virginia both in play which is surprising.
Looking like a clean sweep for the GOP in the competitive races, except for NH. Virginia would be an out-of-nowhere pickup, and Landrieu will get a chance to pull off a miracle in a runoff. GOP doing very well in Governor races as well. Oddly, all those same voters are overwhelmingly approving minimum wake hikes in some red states like Arkansas and Nebraska.
Iowa and North Carolina officially fall. Republicans control the senate and it looks like it will be 54 votes when Alaska and Louisiana are done.
Good, finally the civil war is over! Only holdover is miss piggy from Louisiana, she should get kicked out next month.
Even Governor Pat Quinn (D) loses in Obama's home state. Wow. Democrats got their asses kicked (pun intended).
Keystone is on hold because of a lawsuit by Nebraska landowners right now. It's gotten lost in the shuffle, but the original opposition to it was on conservative individual rights' grounds, and whether the state had the right to take land using eminent domain to benefit a private company. Until that lawsuit is resolved, nothing is happening with Keystone.
Americans get the government they deserve....when the economy tanks again in 2 years because the GOP deregulates everything and decimates the spending power of the middle class in order to enrich the .0001%, I hope all the dumbasses who voted for these reactionary scum (or stayed at home and didn't vote) foot the recovery bill for those of us who weren't #!%*ing morons. And I hope Ginsburg realizes that by not retiring last summer, she's just ensured a generation of terrible reactionary judicial decisions as there's no chance in hell that any jurist left of Scalia on his worst day will be approved. The democrats prove once again that they're terrified to campaign on their own success and allow the GOP to scare the population into voting against their own interests.
what successes have they had? what do you think the democrats should of run on? They tried abortion and it failed miserably.
Republican's pick up Governors in: Massachusetts Maryland Illinois Arkansas (all traditional Democrat strongholds) and hold in Michigan Florida New Mexico Wisconsin Ohio Iowa Colorado (maybe) ALL these are Presidential battleground states.

In the Maryland Gubernatorial race, Anthony Brown lead by double digits in the polls until two weeks ago when Barack and Michelle Obama started showing up at campaign rallies. Instantaneously, his favorability dropped.
Nah... It has more to do with majority of Americans being laymen and gullible to "buzzwords" which Republicans are really great at hammering down such as "Benghazi", " ISIS" etc.
