Now, we learn that limousine liberals were afforded the privilege of voting twice; once in hometown Manhattan and another for Democrat incumbent Tim Bishop several congressional districts away in Suffolk County."

Karl Rove: Obama is weak, but it is always difficult to defeat a sitting president.
"It has been a brutal month for President Obama. The historic electoral rebuke delivered to his party was followed at the G-20 meeting by a public rebuff of the Federal Reserve's QE2 program and the administration's handling of the China currency issue."
BR>
"The president arrived home to find House Democrats intent on keeping Nancy Pelosi as leader, New York Congressman Charles Rangel judged guilty by a House ethics panel of 11 violations, and a lame duck session of Congress fraught with battles over taxes, the New Start treaty and more. This has Republicans feeling cocky about 2012."

Pelosi's no-fault line - Says don't pin elex losses on her
"President Obama offered Nancy Pelosi a lifeline yesterday, as she insisted that last week's Republican rout had nothing to do with her own unpopularity."
"Amid grumbling about Pelosi's bid to become House minority leader, the president told reporters during a news conference in Seoul, South Korea, that Pelosi had made an "outstanding partner" through his first two years in the White House and suggested that he didn't support Democratic calls for a leadership shake-up."

Obama Failed to Communicate?
"In one of his latest attempts to get his face on every television network in America before the election, President Obama appeared on “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart to plead his case to the hip, young, leftist voters who love that show. Obama claimed he had done so much, “We have done things that some folks don't even know about!”

Democrat rationalizations with no regrets
"Soon-to-be-former Madame Speaker Nancy Pelosi (that sounds great doesn’t it?) said that she has “no regrets” about any actions that she took over the past four years. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who rammed Obamacare down our throats without a single Republican vote or participation in the language of the legislation and who prevented any debate before the vote, said that “Republicans must now come to the table and cooperate with Democrats.” Say what?"

Biggest GOP Gains In Statehouses
"Although attention has focused on GOP gains in Congress and Governor's mansions, the worst part of the night for Democrats probably came in state legislative seats. The National Conference of State Legislatures estimates that Democrats had the worst night in state legislative seats since 1928. With races outstanding in New York, Washington and Oregon, Republicans have flipped at least 14 chambers, and have unified control of 25 state legislatures. They have picked up over five hundred state legislative seats, including over 100 in New Hampshire alone."

The Winner: Rush Limbaugh
"With those famous four words, uttered January 16, 2009 -- only days before Barack Obama was to be inaugurated -- Rush Limbaugh drew a line in the sand."
"And as a result, this morning it is Rush Limbaugh who is the undisputed winner of the 2010 election. The White House is repudiated. The Pelosi-run House of Representatives, supported by the Democrats' Congressional Campaign Committee, also deliberately targeted Limbaugh. Speaker Pelosi is, abruptly, now history. The Senate is richer by a still-undetermined number of conservatives as this goes to Internet press."

Keith Hennessey: Reactions to the President’s post-election press conference
"The President argued the electoral losses were the result of a continued weak economy and his inability to convince voters that he had made things better quickly enough. He repeatedly ducked the question of whether his policies contributed to the Democrats’ devastating losses. Two conclusions are consistent with ducking this question: (1) he thinks his policies did not hurt Democrats on Election Day; or (2) he knows they hurt Democrats but doesn’t want to admit it because doing so would further risk the policy gains he has achieved. I find it very hard to imagine (1), but I misjudged him last January and as a result I incorrectly concluded he would stop pushing for health care reform, so I lack confidence in my ability to discern between the two."
