MSNBC was hilarious. As the first results started to come in, Sharpton said, "This isn't the wave that Republicans were predicting. It's just a little rain." Three hours later he said, "We've been swept away by a tidal wave."

Maddow and Matthews were equally funny. That other lesbian, Chris Hayes just looked depressed and didn't really say much.

Its a total shitshow over there right now, I flipped it there for a couple minutes just to see what they were trying to talk about and their biggest news story? Voter ID in Texas and some clown who claims that "blacks and latinos wait 15-20 minutes longer to vote than 'anyone else' (i.e. white people)" :rofl:

Obama still has his veto pen. The last "veto-proof Congress" was way back in the LBJ era. Yesterday's result, however, does likely save SCOTUS from going Donk if Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg croaks in the next two years.

-The real unemployment isn't under 6%, and anyone with half a brain can see that (which means you can't).
-Gas near $3 is expensive. It was around $1.89 when Obama entered office. Wake me up when gas goes under $2.
-The overinflated market bubble is going to burst.

Irony…in an election cycle where identity politics failed so miserably, you have the first black senator from the south since reconstruction and the number of women in congress hits triple digits for the first time ever.

Yahoo News, headline: Who won the 2014 Election…


Image
Let’s start with the map. Sure, the GOP won a remarkable number of races last night. But take another look. How many purple states did Republicans actually pick up? There was Cory Gardner’s victory in Colorado — more on that later. There was Joni Ernst’s victory in Iowa. And there was Thom Tillis’s victory in North Carolina. The rest of the GOP’s Senate flips (Montana, South Dakota, Arkansas, West Virginia) and gubernatorial flips (Arkansas, Maryland, Illinois, Massachusetts) were in states that won’t really be contested in 2016. The Democrats flipped the governorship of Pennsylvania as well.

The GOP’s relative underperformance in swing states is a problem going forward because the 2016 landscape is a lot less favorable for Republicans than the 2014 landscape was. Sixteen of this year’s 20 contested Senate seats were held by Democrats heading into the election — and six of those Democrats were from states that Obama lost in 2012. This gave Republicans a huge advantage. The map was already red.

But that map will be upended in 2016, when 23 of the 33 seats at stake will be held by Republicans. Six of them will be in states that Obama won in 2008 and 2012 (Illinois, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Wisconsin). Two will be in states Obama won in 2008 (Indiana, North Carolina). Two are held by senators who may be retiring (John McCain in Arizona, Chuck Grassley in Iowa). And two are held by senators who may be running for president, which means they can’t run for re-election (Marco Rubio in Florida, Rand Paul in Kentucky).

In other words, for every Senate seat that Republicans flipped in 2014, there’s one — or more — that’s likely to flip back to the Democrats in 2016. The chances that the GOP will still control the upper chamber of Congress after 2016 are slim.

How does this help Clinton? By giving her an added boost on an electoral playing field that already favors a Democratic presidential nominee. In the last six elections, 18 states (plus Washington, D.C.) have voted for the Democratic candidate every single time.

This means that Clinton, assuming she’s the nominee, will start out with 242 electoral votes in 2016; she’ll need only 28 of the remaining 183 tossups to win the election. To defeat her, the Republican candidate will basically have to run the table in the purple states — “not a game plan with a high probability of success,” according to Republican pollsters Glen Bolger and Neil Newhouse. Making matters worse is the fact that Republican senators will already be playing defense in several of these states, attracting additional Democratic attention and resources that will ultimately bolster the candidate at the top of the ticket as well.
