Poll question: Dems lose VA Governor's race. Does this mean Obama has failed as President?

[Avalux]

1. LOL. I won't even bother to vote in this 'poll'. n/t

[Cali_Democrat]

4. Why not? I think it's a pretty straightforward poll.

[Aramchek]

31. straightforwardly worthless

[gateley]

2. No and I'm actually embarrassed at the "news" coverage making a big flap about this. nt

[tridim]

9. But it's SUPER TUESDAY!

:eyes:

[timber84]

3. you've got to be fucking kidding right?

[Zynx]

5. Umm...What's a better term for "not relevant"?

[skipos]

6. He needs to RESIGN RIGHT NOW!!! nt

[rvablue]

7. Need option #3. Nobody cares, the holidays are coming and people are sick of politics after

last year.

While I'm interested in analyzing this, I can't scrape a single person in my private life who even wants to talk about it for one minute.

I think we all collectively need to back away from the blogs and the cablecritters and take a chill pill on this one. It really isn't that relevant, despite the fact that I can't stop contemplating it!

[Hawkeye-X]

8. There. I voted today.

I skipped my local election today. Not much to do in Colorado.

[bigwillq]

10. No.

Not at all. Neither is NJ. Neither is the race in NY.

[Sebastian Doyle]

11. It means they had a shitty candidate, apparently

But he wasn't nearly as shitty as the guy he beat in the primary, who is one of the DLC's biggest pieces of shit.

Probably comes down to the fact that there are so very few real Democrats in Virginia, and none of them seem to be interested in running for the "big" offices.

[AspenRose]

12. IMPEACH!

Seriously though - why is this poll even here?

[gleaner]

13. No ....

It means many Virginians are morans. Like that JP in Louisiana who refused to marry interracial couples.

Virginia is traditionally conservative and will probably stay that way until the state is so poor they find it more acceptable not to be conservative. Poverty is a great motivator for ideological change.

I would have been surprised if the Democrats had taken the Governor's office there. Obama has nothing to do with it. His coattails are simply not that long yet.

[yourguide]

14. Can you update poll to options to read...

Yes
No
LOL


I'd vote LOL. ;-)

[Jennicut]

15. The VA exit poll says otherwise.

[ronnykmarshall]

16. DOOMED DOOMED DOOME I TELLS YA!

We are DOOMED!

Michelle Bockman will be the next speaker of the house!! Palin gonna win in 2012!!!

Oh the humanity!!!

WE GONNA BE DOOMED!!!!


Yeah right!

[jesus_of_suburbia]

17. Who in the hell would say yes? n/t

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

18. No, but it's hardly anything to fucking crow about

[tularetom]

19. Yes, if the Dems lose a race for dog catcher in Bumfuck Arkansas

That means that Obama is the worst president in the history of the US and should immediately resign in disgrace. Or be thrown out of the white house on his ass.

[Nay]

20. No. VA is not a dem state, despite Obama's win here. It's a RW

dump, basically, except for a small part of N VA. The RW nutbags and their fellow travelers are all over this place. Plus Deeds ran a shitty campaign and was a weak dem anyway.

[Cali_Democrat]

21. For the people who voted 'yes'......could you please explain. Thanks.

[HughMoran]

23. lol

:rofl:

Are you really this simple-minded?

[Cali_Democrat]

26. What do you mean?

I don't see anything wrong with asking people to explain why....

[HughMoran]

30. You simply can't be that naive

You're the same clown that said that a murderer should be "set free" versus executing him, then walked away.

I don't trust your motives.

[Cali_Democrat]

32. I can ask people to explain their vote if I would like

What the heck is wrong with that?

I'm sorry, but I don't even know who you are. And the post you're referring to, I meant that he should be freed from death row, not free from prison.

Now you call me a clown? Excuse me, but you're the clown.

What the hell kind of motives would I have wondering what DUers think? It was a simple and poll. Nothing more, nothing less.

You make no sense.

You don't trust me? Oh how ever will I sleep tonight. :eyes:

[HughMoran]

22. The "fun" way to vote on this is "yes"

:P

[TankLV]

24. Yes. If he doesn't RESIGN immediately, we must IMPEACH him!!!

do I really need a sarcasm thingy?!!!

[TheKentuckian]

25. The spin is soooo stupid Obama is as approved of as he was a year ago tomorrow

possibly even more so.

[Doctor_J]

27. WTF? Are you sure you're in the right place?

Or maybe you're trying to get some bona fides for a job in Big Media

[Cali_Democrat]

28. All I'm doing is asking a question

The media is playing to the angle that this is a referendum on Obama. I completely disagree.

I just wanted to know what other DUers think. So I posted a poll. :shrug:

Apparently 5 DUers think Obama has failed.

[iamthebandfanman]

29. no, but it does mean WE are failing.

we need to get on the ball like we did in the last two elections and get our money machines rolling again.

times were tough already then and we managed to scrape ourselves together and fund opposition.

its time to fund anybody who shares any of our beliefs and stop this madness of extreme conservatism.
