No candidate I voted for won. Not a single one.

[trof]

Alabama state government is now totally repug, from the top down.
Not one single Dem elected to state office.
And not one single Dem elected to county office where I live.
KAY-RAP!
:-(

[GoCubsGo]

1. Join the Club.

I live in South Carolina. It will remain a third-world backwater for at least another two years, probably longer.

[mercuryblues]

34. yup

I am thinking demint and haley both have higher offices in mind, who is going to turn agianst who, first.

A tax evader for governor. I never want to hear another puker bitch about some official not paying their taxes properly, ever. They with get an earful from me.

Ard's campaign manager is expected to turn himself in to sled today. They have 6 warrants for his arrest for violating the robo call law.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. I Live In Florida

I don't think I voted for a winner in a contested election either. I don't count voting to retain judges or non-partisan races. I did vote for a bunch of winning amendments.

[ChiciB1]

13. Not ONE I Voted For Won Either & I Think This State Is One CORRUPT MACHINE!

Welcome, Jebby et al... he and his MACHINE will grind this state up! If I could move to Vermont, snow and all, I'd be headed there.

BUT I'M STUCK HERE! And I'm stuck with even more corruption than there ever was. TWO Tea-Baggers who are so corrupt I fell like Linda Blair and my head is really spinning!

Guess we'll just have to take what's going to be shoved down our gullets!

[Divine Discontent]

52. yeah, at least 5 & 6 (no gerrymandering) won! everything I voted for lost, esp. the bitter pill of

Sink losing. :(

[Meshuga]

3. I guess it depends where you live

I live in Maryland (in Montgomery County) so all my Democratic candidates easily won. But it still sucks given the nation wide results.

[zippy890]

46. yeh. ALL my dem candidates won - in Mass

Glad about Martin O'Malley

:hi:

[greymattermom]

4. me neither

I live in Kansas. We'll see how the new medical schools will fare with Governor Brownback.

[deminks]

5. I live in Kansas.

I am quite used to it.

Last candidate I voted for who won was President Obama.

[Ineeda]

6. Same here in Florida, although last I checked, Sink is not out yet.

Even most of the ballot referendums went the wrong way.:scared:

[iamjoy]

8. Most of Them Went The Right Way

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=9456076&mesg_id=9456555

Of course, with 5 & 6 I don't see the arrogant Republican led legislature caring what the people said. They will draw their bizarre gerrymandered districts and dare some one to challenge it.

[vaberella]

7. What about the new woman...Terri Sewell...I thought was a Dem. n/t

[Jennicut]

9. Most of the candidates I voted for won but I live in CT. All of them but my local town officials.

[boomerbust]

10. Wisconsin

Complete Puke takeover. Go figure. Even Feingold got drubbed by a Teabagger. Wow!!!

[Lost-in-FL]

11. I'm used to it. Nt

[ChiciB1]

14. Yeah, I Guess I Can Say It Too... This State Isn't Purple In Any Way, Even

Democrats here really, really SUCK, but I AM more than SICK about Grayson. But I didn't feel he had a chance.

Did someone say Sink isn't out?

[Ineeda]

17. As of 8:30AM, still no official winner but

Scott has declared himself the new governor. The Dems I know here are strong and fight like crazy, but it's like shoveling shit against the tide, so to speak.

[ChiciB1]

19. I Couldn't Deal With Watching The Circus Last Night & Haven't Gotten A

paper yet, so do you know what Amendments passed? How close is it between Scott & Sink. Sink was the ONE I felt had a chance! HOW this state could elect the likes of Scott is just way beyond my comprehension. I mean he's even more corrupt than my Congressional Rep., Vern Buchanan. And Buchanan had had so many lawsuits filed against him I've lost count!

:cry:

[a la izquierda]

12. I am very lucky to live in a light blue district...

it's a college town. So, my state senator won and my state rep (who's a 24 year old woman) also won. Other than that, the Democrats totally fucked up the Oklahoma races they were in that I voted for. Last time I ever vote for candidates I don't truly support.

[Papagoose]

15. Same here in GA.

I'm afraid the Democratic party may be close to death in the south, and yes, I know by moving back North, I am part of the problem.

I am in such a bad mood today, but will keep fighting as long as I can.

[catbyte]

16. You're not alone. Even the judges lost in MI

[GOTV]

18. I got one of my Dems, but I live in a pretty blue area.

[fifthoffive]

20. That's my voting history in a nutshell

Occasionally I get to vote for a winner for President or governor, but I've never lived anywhere that elected a Democrat to either house of Congress, or for that matter, the state legislature.

Depressing as heck, and yet I keep on voting knowing my vote won't make any difference.

[madinmaryland]

21. Hmm. Every candidate I voted for won. I live in a very blue section

of Maryland, though.

[fugop]

22. Yep...

Told my husband last night we can't ever move. I have great admiration for those of you in red states. It would absolutely KILL me. I take it all too seriously. I'm pleased we moved from Va. to Md. a few years ago. Today more than ever. Poor Virginia.

[pruple]

23. We barely saved John Dingell

I was shocked. And now my state's red.

[StandingInLeftField]

24. None for me, either, here in South Carolina.

SC even ousted John Spratt, Chair of the House Budget Committee! Luckily, Jim Clyburn won, but he's not in my district.

[kestrel91316]

25. Move to SoCal. Every single one of mine won!!!!! All the way up the line.

[Codeine]

28. What's your district?

44th for me -- we reelected Ken "HookerBlowjob" Calvert. :mad:

[kestrel91316]

29. Don't remember the number. Brad Sherman's my Congresscritter.

[DrToast]

33. Same here. CA-29

My congressdude Adam Schiff won with 65% of the vote.

He's a blue dog, but he's actually pretty normal.

[FBaggins]

26. Pretty much the same thing here. Thanks for voting anyway! n/t

[Codeine]

27. Most of my ticket won, with the exception of my Representative choice.

He got whomped. :(

On the plus side - governor, senator, atty gen, sec state, controller, lt. gov, insurance commissioner -- these all went or stayed Dem.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Come live in California, my dear trof!

We have won all the major offices, from Governor to dog catcher! um...well, maybe not dog catcher...

It's a great place to live!


I'm really sorry to hear your lousy news, sweetie...

:hug:

[trof]

36. Can't afford it, hon.

Couldn't afford a house, couldn't afford the much higher taxes, and I'd be 3500 miles from the grandkids instead of 'only' 1500.
For better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, we're locked in to Alabama.
:-(

[JimGinPA]

31. Same Here. What's Even Worse...

The repub State Sen. & Rep. here ran unopposed, so the only way to vote against them was to write someone in.

[bigwillq]

32. All mine won.

:bounce:
I'm in CT!

[RepublicanElephant]

35. i feel your pain! nt

[struggle4progress]

37. Well, if you can't win at the ballot box, try taking your issue to the street and learn to win there

Never say die :)

[mimitabby]

38. been there done that, it's a terrible feeling

[NMDemDist2]

39. i feel your pain, none of mine either (except our incumbent County Clerk)

sigh

:hug:

[Onlooker]

40. Thank God there are people like you in Alabama

As long as there are people like you there, hope remains. Maybe not this year, maybe not in 2012, but sooner or later there will be progressive Democrats who know how to connect with the people of Alabama.

[marybourg]

41. Me neither in AZ, but we have ballot propositions here and

some of those went the way I voted (almost all "No").

[jillan]

56. Hey neighbor - we must've had identical ballots.

:(

I can't get over some of the loses...Harry Mitchell? And Quayle wins. What a horrible nite for Arizona.

[marybourg]

57. When I moved here, umpteen years ago, the state was mostly

publican,so this seems normal to me. This state just attracts a more conservative population than Colorado or N.M. or Calif. Self- selection for in-migration. As for the props, I guess most of us AZ DU'ers voted pretty much the same way. And there, we didn't do too badly, except for the union prop which was deceptively worded and sold.

[jillan]

63. Oh that union prop - that was nasty. I am so sorry it lost -

that and the yes vote on repealing Obamacare. McCain is going to get to know me. "Obamacare" is already helping my family.

[barbtries]

42. wow

i'm really sorry. that portends badly for democrats...isn't alabama don siegelman's state? the republicans would probably be happy to make being a democrat a crime in that state. or did they already?

[trof]

45. It pretty much is a crime to be a Democrat here.

Might as well be.
The incoming administration will probably put a bounty on us.

[last_texas_dem]

43. Same here, other than a few apolitical/nominal D's running

for county offices.

My county, which voted 73% for McCain/Palin two years ago, still votes solidly "Democratic" at the county level. Go figure.

[David Zephyr]

44. I've always said there's no liberal like a Southern Liberal. I think you rock.

I know first hand how tough it is being an outspoken progressive in the South. It's a hell of a lot easier for those of us who live on the Blue Coasts to be liberal.

Show me a Southern Liberal (I'm a transplanted one myself) and I'll know there's a fighter that who is made of steel.

Keep the faith. We are all only one keystroke away from our community, huh?

:hi:

[Alexander]

47. Thankfully, in CT every single candidate I voted for won.

I live in Hartford, which is solid blue, so that's no surprise.

[Mnemosyne]

48. NW PA checking in. Not one for me either.

I hate this fucking state.

[SharonAnn]

49. Me neither, but I voted and they'll count it. And future candidates will

know that there are a certain number of Democratic votes out there that they ought to count on.

And trust me, potential candidates do look out there to see what the past votes were.

In addition, I have such respect for those who ran that I wanted to be sure that they knew we voted for them, we supported them.

[femmocrat]

50. Same here-- Pennsylvania.

:cry:

[Budgies Revenge]

51. Same here in Georgia

The really sad thing is that so many people here just voted to screw themselves and they don't even realize it.

[Kaleva]

53. I voted straight Dem here in Michigan and they all lost.

Altough I don't know about the outcome of the races for the regents of UM, Michigan State and Wayne University.

[harun]

67. Straight Dem in PA, all lost.

[Number23]

54. Darn near the same for me.

Luckily John Lewis pulled out a win (with only 73% of the vote!) and a few others won. But my big three (Barnes, Thurmond and Sinkfield) all went down in flames. :(

[bermudat]

55. I live in northern CA.

Everyone I voted for won except Bera. Lundgren won, that bastard.

[LatteLibertine]

58. Thank you for voting :)

The person in my district I voted for got crushed as well.

I've a clear conscience though. I did all I could to prevent Republicans from being elected.

Much of what happened on Nov 2 was a result of older voters turning out and many younger people staying home.

[glinda]

59. Doesn't anyone think there is something wrong with this picture????

I mean, for it to happen all over the place with the fact that some of these people were totally unknown, nuts or idiots and to get elected usually by "slim" margins.... I think some of the races were fixed.

[eppur_se_muova]

60. Several of our local races had Repugs running UNOPPOSED.

When I saw your name, I remembered you were from AL, as am I (at least for now).

[trof]

65. Same for Baldwin County offices. No Dems on ballot. Period.

[Enthusiast]

61. Me too.

Disgusting.

[CTLawGuy]

62. Move to CT

all of the candidates I voted for at the federal level won, and it is likely that the Dem gov candidate won as well. Furthermore all 5 of our House seats are still blue.

[wisteria]

64. My vote did not help elect any of my choices either. n/t

[WinkyDink]

66. Same here. Sestak, Callahan, Onorato,.....

[CAcyclist]

68. Be patient

That was my mantra until recently. Jerry Brown won, Barabra Boxer won, Kamala Harris won, Gavin Newsom won. As goes California, so goes the nation. We already did our backlash round with a Republican governor, many states are just starting theirs.

[True_Blue]

69. Same here

We really got our asses kicked here in AZ. I was very surprised that we didn't have a huge Dem & Latino turnout considering all the CarpetTeaBaggers that were running here.

[Corey_Baker08]

70. Same Here-Its Unfortunate, Ohio Went Solid Red!!!

[FrenchieCat]

71. Sorry about that.

All of mine won! But then, I'm in California, land of the sane.
