1. Fi-Fi, get back on your broomstick and meet your flying monkeys in some deserted swamp.

How IGNORANT do they think we are?


Fi-fi, the evil witch of the multi national MIC banking west as our senator?

2. LOL!

I always thought of a barricuda when I saw her.
( my apologies to barricudas)

A witch is a close second, though!

3. Fiorina finally conceded a little after midnight

On state races, many hadn't yet been called last I checked. But it looks like Dem candidates were well on the way to sweeping state offices. :)

Way to go, CA voters! :toast:

6. Good!

She sure had a crapload of haters on her FB page!
The paid trolls were on every damn thread there,
24/7.
I called her campaign HQs in LA three times to
let them know it was out of control.

7. Thanks for that information, bemildred.

I gave up watching MSNBC, even though their coverage is aimed at us liberals. They just didn't get around to mentioning Barb often enough.

So I had to tune in to San Francisco and Sacramento stations. Boy, to hear them offer the results, it was neck and neck. They had continual streaming vids of Caly FiFi and she looked radiantly happy.

And the announcers were always saying these smarmy things like, "We will let you know any new developments <wink, wink> <nudge nudge> as they come up." With the implication being that in such a tight race, it was only a matter of moments before Barbara Boxer would be found in the Marin Headlands with boxes of stolen ballots stuffed in her car trunk.

8. Well, I never had much doubt, and once it was clear Dems were kicking ass

I went to bed. But you are right, the MSM coverage was annoying in its herdlike conformity to established spin.

9. One example of what panderers they are:

When Debra Bowen was making her initial run, the station out of Sacramento was interviewing her competitor, even as that person's defeat was being announced at her campaign headquarters! They were talking about her Big Victory Celebration and how she kicked butt and all that.

And they haven't gotten any better over the years!
