Like the fraud of having his campaign worker's tires slashed? Please post the link of the ACORN army descending on the good, white folks of upstate New York? and tell me something genius Why is a guy who doesn't even live in the district he wants to represent and had 95% of his campaign cash come from outside the district complaining about a straw man?
Truly amazing. The Hoffman crowd was complaining of fraud before the day even started, but so far the only incident that needed to have law enforcement intervention was the Hoffman supporters not obeying the election laws, and a guy running over a broken bottle.
McDonnell is up by almost a 2 to 1 margin in Virginia! That is a MUCH bigger portion of the vote than Obama received in 2008.
So far everything seems pretty much as to be expected for today. GOP is living up to the expectations in VA, NJ too close to call(this might be a legit victory for the GOP) and NY 23 is good for the Democrats no matter what the outcome is.
Also exit polls in VA & NJ are showing that jobs and the economy are the main reason for people's decisions. Not a referendum on Obama. In fact the big O's approvals in both states have remained relatively consistent even up to Election Day. So there goes that talking point.
Let's see here. Obama takes office in January, then the first major election since that time, he loses big in at least one key race, with serious threats in others (that may turn out to be Republican victories). That is not good news for Barack. I heard on tv that nearly 1 in 4 voters in Virginia cast their votes for the Republican candidate due in part to their opposition of Obama. So yes, you can say that many voters viewed this as a referendum on Barack.
