Remind me again why Chris Christie can’t be president in 2012?

We dig the guv here at LP. And the prognostication, pro and con, about a possible 2012 candidacy is popping all over the place.

Breaking: Democrat Rep. John Murtha Dies

This is just breaking from Fox News:

Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. John Murtha, the first veteran of the Vietnam war and one of the most powerful lawmakers in Congress, died Wednesday morning at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, VA, after complications from gallbladder surgery. Murtha was 77.

I'm very sorry for his family's loss. I'm sure they loved him and will miss him.

CNN: It's not about Obama, but then again . . .

Hunh?

56 percent of Virginians said that the president was not a factor when it came down to their vote. In New Jersey, that number increased to 60 percent

So does that mean that 44 percent in Virginia and 40 percent in New Jersey thought it was about Obama?

Coffee with Mister Reality

I was sitting at my table this morning, looking over my schedule for the day, when Mister Reality came by, poured himself a coffee and took a seat.

"I suppose you are feeling pleased with yourself this morning." he began. When I said nothing but raised an eyebrow, he clarified. "Politically, I mean."

"Well,", I ventured. "New Jersey and Virginia were nice results, though I have to say I was cheering for Hoffman in New York."

Connecting the Dots

Relying on exit polling in the NJ and VA gubernatorial races yesterday, ABC News has concluded that yesterday's overwhelmingly negative results for Democrats should in no way reflect on the sheer beauty and grace that is President Barack Obama (emphasis mine):

Election 2009: Independents go on a donkey-shoot

All the poll-tracking is over. All the speculation about the meaning of the 2008 election is over. All the wondering about the vitality of the Obama magic is over. Elections have a nice way of clearing the air of prognostications and predictions. We have results. We have actual votes, not polls of possible voters. And the lesson this year is very simple.

Independent voters utterly loathe the Democrats.

There really is no other way to spin it.

Maine Rejects Gay Marriage

The news for Republicans and conservatives was pretty good with most of the elections yesterday with a landslide for the Virginia GOP and a great win in New Jersey. Conservatives and Republicans did well in other parts of the country, too. One of those other areas was in Maine where the voters rejected a gay [...]

Oh, The Ironing!

The same day his party got shellacked in Virginia and New Jersey, and the two candidates he campaigned heavily for lost big-time, the Obama White House was hosting contestants from an NBC program called The Biggest Loser.

The Democrat Party Died Last Night

...Er, not really, but the headline sure grabbed you. We're not so ignorant here as to believe that these historic election losses for Pres. Obama and his Democrat minions will quell their thirst for power and perpetual need to oppress Americans rich and poor, young and old. But this is what one writer at CNSNews.com proclaimed:

Happy Days Are Here Again...

At least they are in Virginia. In case you have not already heard, the governor's race has been called for the Republican candidate, Bob McDonnell. Actually the GOP slate did great down the ballot in Virginia. Still waiting on New Jersey, which was too close to call when I last checked.

Your Money at Work

Where did all those $billions and $billions in "stimulus" money go? CNBC managed to chase down a few $million:

Dems are still sitting on the vast majority of the cash that was supposedly so urgently needed, in hopes it can be used to buy support before the next election. Maybe they should have gotten off to a faster start spreading it around in Virginia and New Jersey.

On a tip from glenwood183.

Gitmo Detainees Coming to Virginia, Local Dems Freak

Obama supporters in Alexandria, Virginia suddenly don't think closing Gitmo is such a great ideaPhoto credit - Salvis Are

Rich, thick irony. Normal people think it's a good idea to keep terrorists on a faraway island, in a prison controlled by the United States military. Liberals disagree, for no readily apparent reason, and want Gitmo closed. So President Obama says he will close it next year.

We contacted Senator Warner's office yesterday to confirm whether the contribution had been received, and if so, whether he intends to return the money.
