David Jolly Sets The Tone For 2014 Midterms

It's in David Jolly won U.S. House seat in Florida today. This was a direct vote against Obamacare and what voters dislike about Washington. Democrats in midterm elections are going to be running from their vote on Obamacare.

The GOP will control the Senate so check and balance is in place for a lame duck President.

You're effin' dreaming, dude.

Jolly barely won in one of the deeper red districts in Fla., this asswipe should have won by double digits. So, once again, where do you get these stories? Breitbarts? Red State?

Yet, you sit here and call this forum a mouthpiece for the DNC? Give me a break man.... Thanks for the chuckle Dan.

The previous Repugnant held that seat for 43 years. I have to wonder how those percentages have shifted in recent memory?

Gotta love it when a reliably red state comes to their senses though in Presidential elections, like Florida, Ohio and several others. Did Michigan go for Romney?

1. "Independents" these days vote Republican.

2. The special election was called to replace a Republican.

3. The seat has been in Republican hands since 1983. (Catherine Harris held that seat for Christ's sake!)

4. The margin was less than 2%.

5. Turnout was very low, about half of that for the 2012 presidential election.

6. CATHERINE HARRIS HELD THAT SEAT, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

That is quite a blanket statement. Are you refuting my nonpartisan affiliation?

No.

It's really an established fact that the voting patterns of independents are tilted decidedly toward Republican or other candidates on the right. Libertarian, for example. They almost never vote or a Democrat or, say, a Green.

Sounds like the 'bagger nation hasn't come down from that hi fructose corn syrup, cheap booze and caffeine buzz they've been on since last weekend eh Marc?
