Closing Arguments: Obama and Election Day Implications
EmailSay what they will, President Barack Obama and his staff will be watching the outcome of tomorrow's elections closely. President Obama did, after all, actively campaign for Democratic gubernatorial candidates in New Jersey and Virginia. So tonight, we ask: If Republicans win key elections tomorrow, is it a sign of trouble to come for the Democrats in 2010? Tell us what you think.

Prediction: Dems will win in NY and NJ.

The Republicans refuse to “reach out”. The so-called true conservatives will not last. They are few in number. The Republicans are trying to do everything to again be dominant in politics. The Republicans had their chance and that was the leadership of Bush/Cheney for the last 8 years. Pay attention to that my fellow Americans!

I don’t think it’s an issue. In fact, it is ridiculous we are even discussing it. NJ has had far worse problems stemming from before Obama was even elected; the seat in NY will go to a republican unless something odd happens… The only surprise would be VA, and it’s no big deal because he’s been in office 11 months. Not to mention midterm elections are still a year away. We thought the problems back in 03 would spell death for bush but he was fine. There are more important issues to discuss..

I predict that if either the Democrats or the Republicans are elected it will be bad for the country.

Obama has offered no real entitlement reform. Universal health-care proposal increase costs by $1 trillion or more, whereas Medicare/Medicaid reform is supposed to decrease costs.
Since Obama’s budget projections show radical budget deficits over the next decade anyone with half a brain has to wonder what is Obama up to?
Why does not the media in the plethora of talk show appearances by Obama and his cronies not ask these questions? Can it be that the watchdog media is not such a watchdog at all?

Got to say, Ill be interested in seeing these results…But more importantly, looking forward to the Mid-Term elections when the vast majority of the public will be able to vent their spleen with the crooks in both parties and vote their pocketbooks at the same time!!!! The voters will not forget that quickly. So Politicians FEAR what you don’t understand. I feel many of you will be looking for new jobs!!!!

No, the outcome of this election will not have any bearing on the outcome for 2010. The country is in very sad shape, because of the failure of the Democrats and Republicans who have been in the elective offices for the past 45 years. Anyone who still belongs to either of these parties is a complete fool.

We really need to clean the House in 2010, and 1/3 of the Senate! We could do it if all the independents would go for it!

the federal governments ONLY supposed to a:secure the nation’s borders, b: provide a national military and currency and c: mediate/regulate interstate commerce…THATS IT. amendment 10 makes it perfectly clear that all other right/responsibilities are left to the states and the people…in that order. vote Constitution party next time, we have candidates in every state and every office.
or else everyone in the country vote themselves in for every office. there’s a message.
