Another positive sign for us? YES! IMHO

People such as Joe Scarb and his cohorts have now started to change their talking points. They have gone from a Romney chance at winning (haha) to asking if President Obama will be able to get along with and work with the GOP congress. First off, that is if they keep control, I think we could do some real damage in the House and gain in the Senate. Secondly, why is he asking that? Shouldn't he be asking if the House, with the lowest public rating ever, will be willing to work with Obama? I think they also feel the rumble of a landslide starting to roll down the slope, and it will be leaving a blue trail.

There is going to be hell to pay inside the GOP. The wealthy donors will be very angry that they could not buy the election. The markers will be called in, the blame will be thrown back and forth, and I hope there will no longer be any cohesiveness in the movement of obstruction.

Another question for you all. Has anyone else wondered why the RNC and the PAC's have not flooded Wisconsin with money for Ryan to keep his local seat? Is it a sign that the stall-worths of the GOP are sick and tired of the Teabaggers bs, just as the American people are?

Food for thought and for hope of a better America.

most of them were un-challenged republicants and teabaggers. I didn't vote for any of them.

Of the 25 races on my ballot, 16 of the offices were running un-challenged candidates. I really, REALLY, hate that.

I read,in the past few weeks somewhere,probably here,that conventional wisdom held that Lyan was in a relatively safe district.....Yet,I've also seen that his Dem challenger was making inroads....

I have heard the same things. I am from WI originally and people there are also talking about the possibility of Ryan not winning. Let's hope they are correct and that lying sack is left without a government job of any type.

That's what happened to Palin. I don't think anyone, inside or out of the GOP, takes her seriously at all. rLyan can just join their team like other has-beens.
