Or what we saw in Florida. :shrug:Replacing Olympia Snowe with a right wing tea party type candidate will yield the same results of we recently saw in Delaware. I say go for it.
Does Maine have a potential Rubio in the wings?
i found it odd that cutler lost by only 2 points, when all polls showed lepage with a double digit lead going into november. What do you think happened?I would be very surprised to see Snowe lose in 2012. Mainers like "independents." Though technically a repub, Snowe doesn't toe the party line, and that makes her less of a thread to Democrats. I don't see true conservatism sweeping through Maine anytime soon despite the success of Paul LePage. His Independent competition, Eliot Cutler made a huge surge toward the end of the campaign and almost took out LePage election night. Unless LePage impresses the crap out of the state, which he likely won't, Snowe is safe.
Obama was one of those circus rabbits. As was the 2006 election... won because of what? The Foley Wabbit fwom da hat.Two years from now. What where democrats doing two years ago? Predicting the end of the republican party. Get back to me on this in 2012.

Democrats have to defend 23 Senatorial seats in 2012 (many in states where Obama is quite unpopular); and they will be facing a house whose districts have just been redrawn by overwhelmingly Republican state governments. Interestingly, 2010 was actually the election where the cards were stacked against Republicans. as for NO NO NO, that is precisely what the American people were saying. Good for the Republicans to listen to them.
hey, youre the one who started it
If by starting it you mean pointed out the relevant fact that the political climate two years from now can and probably will be quite different, as evidence by the changes in the last two years, I guess you could say I started it. However, you clearly where the one to bring in irrelevancies to change the subject when the flaws in your argument where pointed out.
i don't really see where it's relevant to point out the implicit claim of your argument (that the political climate in two years might be better for democrats) was belied by the numbers involved in the next election cycle.
The big increase in turnout in 2012 will be from Democrats and those who elected Obama last time but sat out the recent round of elections. This will favor most democratic candidates across the nation. And if its Mama Grizzly on the top of the ticket it will be the greatest drubbing of a republican since Goldwater in 64. Which is why if my state has a presidential primary in 2012 I will both vote for Sarah and put up a lawn sign for her in my yard.
