What a Night!
November 2nd, 2010 at 7:45 pm by CrankyHey Buffet Friends!
This is a great night to be a political gangsta. I just came from the phone banks at the Pat Meehan for congress office. I made about 75 phone calls and rushed home where I am now watching the returns.
Here are some pics.
The remote campaign headquarters/call center in my neighborhood
Your humble correspondent
These young enthusiastic volunteers came all the way up from Virginia to take part in this tight race.
At the “phone bank” table. We were issued cell phones and given a list. About as fun as cold-calling gets.
If you believe the MSM, then this “war room” was filled with angry racists. What-ever.
I knew I was in the right place
What the…? Oh well, let’s just say I’m not surprised that this vehicle is in the handicapped spot.
If “purplish” Pennsylvania is considered a bellweather for most of the country, then the Philly suburbs are the Antietem battlefield. If possible, I’ll liveblog the good news.
Note to victorious Republicans on this, the most remarkable race for the GOP in a generation – don’t piss us off! We’re involved this time and we expect good things this time around. I am “cautiously optimistic” to steal a phrase and now that I’m invested in your success, I expect your best.

What’s the word on Toomey?

Toomey trailing by 3.

Cranky, your boy Meehan is in the lead! You made a difference.
November 2nd, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Yeah!! Happy to hear about Meehan.
But it is a mixed bag here. Corbett will probably be the governor but Stestak will most likely win the Senate. Maybe PA is past the time where conservatives like Santorum can rule. The burbs are not quite flipping back to the pure red they once were.
I’ll take it as a sign that this isn’t a “mandate” but at least we can put the skids on Obama’s Fundamental Transformation of America.

Great link, btw.

Just for entertainment value, we were checking out MSNBC. What a bag of dicks.
They were insulting and giggling and snickering while questioning Bachmann / Cantor during their victory interviews.
November 2nd, 2010 at 10:36 pm
Bachmann asked Straw Hair Roundboy how his tingle was doing.
O’Donnell demanded that no other Republicans be allowed on MSNBC until they answered his question about whether they were going to kill rape victims or eat their babies.

Brian, I can’t wade into that cesspool. I’m watching ABC because, although I dig Fox, I want to see what the “objective” media is saying. They are surprising harsh on the Dems. I guess they are riding on the “Told ja so” meme.

Dayum. I spoke too soon. Brian Williams is saying that the Government DOES create jobs, like with all the military bases in San Diego.
Then Andrea Mitchell helpfully reminded us that Obama is only doing as best he can with an economy inherited from Boosh.

Enjoy, boys, I’m out of here.
