Which way is the Senate seat vacated by Obama going?

I have not heard much about the race involving the vacated senate seat left by Obama.

Does a republican have any chance at all?

I know Illinois (actually Chicago) is a "blue state" and itll be tough for any republican to win there.

Answer: Actually Mark Kirk, a five term incumbent US representative, is considered to have a good chance against Alexi Giannoulias, the state treasurer and a good friend of president Obama. On top of the Virginia and New Jersey governor's races and the loss of Ted Kennedy's old Senate seat, this could be a massive embarassment to Obama. Of course it's a long time until November so we will just have to watch how it plays out.

How liberal is Greta Van Susteren? Please name the few conservatives on Fox now?

She used to be a liberal on CNN I hear, but I always thought she is was a liberal by her thoughts shared on her Fox show. She is also a friend of Hilary Clinton. She acted quite happy today as she heard Mccahlia was slightly ahead in Virginia governors race, he is a friend of Clintons. She then said that McCahlias win will help Hillary in 2016.

Foxs owner, Rupert Murdoch is well known liberal. When Fox blasted Mitt Romney 24/7 the entire last two weeks of Presidential election, their true liberal colors came out strong.
Fast, yes they mostly do use facts, but Oreilly lets his Rhino opinions get in the way...he is not a true conservative nor libertarian. Rhino establishment seems exactly what he is, and that means "liberal" on some big important issues.
Smiln Bob, I see from a legal standpoint, but she her comments, questions and replies sure label her a liberal. Thanks for spelling of the Virginia candidate.
Ray Here, I agree on Romney/Obama debate. Romney should have told Candy just what you say. When Obama said "please proceed Governor" to Romney when Romney brought up terrorism/Benghazi, Romney almost apologized, Seems he was bullied. Notice even in their foreign affairs debate Romney said not one word regarding Benghazi. Fox really did criticize Romney constantly last two weeks of election, a complete shocking turnaround. Hannity even did a special titled "The extreme bias of the media" about this on his own Fox News channel. This allowed to appease viewers. We are ruled by corporate globalists and that controls this two party system. Except of a very few that are not bought and brave to speak out.

Answer: Hannity and oreilly use straight facts

How many elections were "stolen" last Tuesday?

I count two. New Jersey and Virginia governor races were won by non-leftists. Thats the litmus test for a "stolen" election. Have I missed any?
No lawsuits are filed because the ass kickings were so incredible. The left only lawyers up when they can cook the books enough to get their way.

Answer: 3 out of 4

In Virginia
In New Jersey
In Maine


- Virginia elected Republican
- New Jersey elected Republican
- In Maine , one of the most secular states in the nation , gay marriage was banned

In New York Dede Scozaffava dropped out YET her votes counted for Bill Owens ( he's bad but not as bad as Dede Scozaffava )

Why is the elections in New Jersey and Virginia getting coverage in Great Britain?

I was on-line and saw BBC Coverage on www.bbc.com about the off-year elections. Why is that news in Great Britain? I can see if it was a presidential election but for two Governors races why would that be news in UK? Do we have full coverage on our news sites of province elections in UK? No. So why is it important? Just curious.

I live in the USA (Florida) and even I dont know much about the two races except that in NJ Chris Christie is popular and I see now won the race.

Please explain why 2 newspapers wrote opposite stories?

I was at a funeral in the DC area yesterday and today as I was leaving the for the airport to go home I got a Washington Post and Washington Times. The Governors race in Virginia (near DC) was the story. The Washington Times had a long article on how Terry McAuliffe is losing ground in the race and Kenneth Cuccinelli is doing better with very close. The Washington Post did a story on how Cuccinelli is struggling even with Republicans and McAuliffe, while being criticized for some policies, is gaining strength in the race.

Why do two newspapers right such different articles? I am with my Dad whose in-laws live here in DC area and he said the Washington Post is liberal and the Washington Times is either fair to both sides or more conservative. How can newspapers get away with this? Which article is true? Are both articles made up by bias of the papers?

I live in Florida so the Virginias governors race doesnt mean anything to me. But, I know this can happen in national media as well (like Fox News vs. MSNBC).

Answer: I wouldn't say "bias" exactly, which implies a twisting of the truth. But there are certainly different perspectives and opinions. Writers have them, newspapers have them, readers have them. It's how we discover the truth, by sharing different perspectives.

If we all thought the same, life would be pretty dull.

Is Tea Party candidate Ken Cuccinelli a victim of the declining popularity of the Tea Party?

Terry McAuliffe (D) and Ken Cuccinelli (R - Tea Party) are in a race for governor of Virginia. Earlier this year many Tea Partyers pointed to Cuccinelli as a sign that Tea Party candidates were viable.

However, in mid-summer when the Tea Party staked out its position on the shutdown, McAullife started to pull away from Cuccinelli in the polls. McAuliffe maintained a stable lead over Cuccinelli until October 1 when the shutdown took place. Thats when McAuliffe REALLY started to pull ahead.

http://realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2013/governor/va/virginia_governor_cuccinelli_vs_mcauliffe-3033.html

In fact, when Ted Cruz recently visited Virginia, Cuccinelli refused to meet with him because he didnt want to be associated with Cruzs radicalism.

Is Cuccinelli the poster child for the declining popularity of the Tea Party?

Answer: McAuliffe experienced another spike in polling shortly after Ted Cruz's performance of the 'Filibuster Funarama....in a Box with a Fox' which brought to glaring light the leadership of the Tea Party - an offshoot of the Republican Party. Cuccinelli and other Republicans can run, but they can't hide from the association they have with the Tea Party members. Yes, he is a victim.

Who will win the Governors races this year in New Jersey and Virginia?

There are two "off year" Governors elections in New Jersey and Virginia. Im not going to give a lot of background because I figure most political junkies know about this. Who do you think will win?

My guesses:

Christie, the Republican, beats Corzine, the Democratic Governor, in New Jersey

And Deeds, the Democrat, narrowly beats McDonnell, the Republican, in Virginia.

Answer: I can't say anything for Virginia. I'm in NJ. I can tell you that I have not seen hatred for a governor of this state since the infamous James Florio and his "toilet paper tax." Florio was defeated by Whitman in 1993. Corzine is almost universally hated here, even many of his union buddies have turned on him. It is likely that the Democrat party will pull him out at the last minute and put someone more acceptable in the race. Newark mayor Corey Booker is the likely candidate. They are very fearful of a repeat of the 1993 election.

Why did young voters and minorities who helped elect Obama stayed home during the recent election?

Many of the young, first-time voters who propelled Obama to the presidency stayed home this year, a glaring absence that helped Republicans win governors races in Virginia and New Jersey. More than 3 million voters who cast ballots in the 2008 presidential election — majority of them minorities — failed to show up at the polls in either state.

I think we are seeing the chickens come home to roost in Virginia. Republicans working for the federal government havent seen a raise since 2011. Theyve been furloughed and abused by the national GOP and the TEA party. Seems like these loyal Republicans either 1) didnt vote or 2) voted for the Democrat.

Is this an ill omen for Republicans, as Midterms are less than 12 short months ahead? Ted Cruz wants another shutdown in January or Februrary. The TEA Party wants one too.

Is the TEA Party darling, Cruz, willing to sink the national GOP to further his ambitions at the expense of the Republican party?

We shall see. Indeed.

Answer: Although I agree that voters have been turned off by the shenanigans of the Tea party Republicans, especially their leader, Ted shutdown Cruz, I don't think Democrats can rest on their laurels for one minute through the midterm elections. The governor's race was not an easy win....McAuliiffe won by a narrow margin and after spending a significant amount more on his campaign than Cucinelli. Democrat voters need to remain alert and active.

I think Ted Cruz will continue to do what he thinks is best for Ted Cruz.

Where the Votes Are, So, Unfortunately, Are All Those Calories

Running for president is like entering a competitive eating contest and a beauty pageant all at once. Candidates are expected to eat local specialties often and with gusto, yet still look attractive and fit. So it is no wonder that many of this years candidates have what might be called food issues -- the same kinds that plague the rest of us, - Running for president means eating local specialties on the campaign trail but this venerable method of establishing bond with voters must be balanced against pressure on candidates to be fit and lean, something that portly presidents of 19th century did not have to worry about; photos (M) - By JODI KANTOR; Ben Werschkul and Jeff Zeleny contributed reporting from Iowa, and Marc Santora from New Hampshire.

Why do pathetic Democrats focus their attention to New Yorks 23rd District Congressional race?

They dont even care that Virginia, a state which traditionally elects Democratic Governors, turns for a Republican.

New Jersey, a traditionally blue state, turns RED by voting for a Republican.

These positions are IMPORTANT to any party for these positions are vital for the life of the party.
While ignoring their HUGE DEFEAT on high positions in the state of Virginia and New Jersey.

Answer: They are simply in denial. All ive heard from Dems online for the past year is Republicans are dead-well it doesnt look that way now does it?

As far as the New York race goes, considering that the Republican Doug Hoffman is not a life-long politician, this was the first time he had ran for public office and is just some average Joe who jumped in the race at the last moment and still almost won the thing-that should be a wake up call for dems as well.
But they wont see it that way, they still are in denial.

Why is the elections in New Jersey and Virginia getting coverage in Great Britain?

I was on-line and saw BBC Coverage on www.bbc.com about the off-year elections. Why is that news in Great Britain? I can see if it was a presidential election but for two Governors races why would that be news in UK? Do we have full coverage on our news sites of province elections in UK? No. So why is it important? Just curious.

I live in the USA (Florida) and even I dont know much about the two races except that in NJ Chris Christie is popular and I see now won the race.
