Fucking Small Potatoes!!!
You folks are missing the BIG picture. In Johnson County, Iowa, voters rose up to the occasion. We also had a special election for a County Supervisor. The Republicans spent heavy for this one. A kind-of-meek Democrat with no major issues against a loud-mouthed, Tea Party Republican with no major issues, with the exception of hating Obama. Now, keep in mind: Johnson County is home to the University of Iowa. The most liberal place in this most excellent state(think the gay marriage ruling by our Supreme Court). We lose this, we are truly fucked. 58%-38%, Democrat!! We showed up!! Now. Go to bed with a fucking smile on your face.

1. lol there you go!
What happened in Mass was a referendum on Scott Brown and Martha Coakley .... and it was a referendum on complacency!

Let us NEVER forget that we must ALWAYS show up!

3. More important.
Our Football coach (Kirk Ferentz, a registered democrat) who is viewed as a God, backed the Repub. I think it has to do with zoning laws out where he lives, in the country. Which makes the win, all the more, impressive.

We got sick of reading about Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, et al. So WE showed up. It can be done.
