Real Dem win in PA/New Dem REP from PA/Larger DEM votes in KY
Sorry, but this ain't no Anti-Incumbent nothing....
this means that Dems, if they want to, can kick some ass in November!

The similarity in all of these primaries is that there were more Dem voters
than Republicans.

I'm sure the talking heads will conclude different,
But that's because they will be ignoring the obvious.

1. This is so great!
They put so much importance on Scott Brown--- and it was all a bunch of hot air, as usual.

2. Fineman is already saying it's a big question as to whether Dems can keep house or senate in Nov.

Douchenozzle.

He looked like he was making it up as he was spewing that garbage.

Tonight is a big night for Dems and should, should, quell the meme of anti-incumbency, but I have little faith it will.

6. I know! I just heard that and said, WTF?
Does he think we are that stupid?

Was Fineman the one that just wrote that Obama book?

Because if so, based on his comments tonight,
I won't be buying it.

10. Yes, he was. He had this stupid look on his face while he was trying to create the worst possible
scenario for the Dems. Really pathetic and transparent.

4. Dems showed up tonight and that is a good thing.
I am not ready to say it means Nov won't be hard for us but it won't be a complete killing of the Dems in Nov either. If Rethugs won the PA-12 race they would be spinning it so fast. Glad Dems came out and represented.

8. The Talking Heads Are Already Saying That The Dems Are In Trouble....
just heard Howard Fineman say so. I think they are saying that because they want to see the Dems in trouble. However, if you look at the voter turnout - the Dems had more people out to vote than the Repugs. I don' think there will be a Dem bloodbath in November. I think it's the Repugs that have to worry and re-evaluate their strategy.

17. He's the low man on the totem pole with Tweety, KO, Rachel, AM, etc making calls/comments.
He's struggling to make an impact and failing miserably.

C'mon guys, listen to meeeee.

14. They want the viewers to believe
them instead of voter turnout and Sestak's win.

16. Let the talking heads keep saying how Dems are going to get their butts kicked in November...
Maybe they are scaring Dems into GOTV.

As Obama said NO - They cannot get the keys back.

20. Let's see them ignore again when we win in November. We ended up with a lot of votes
here in PA despite bad weather and predictions that Specter would win. Sestak will be facing Pat Toomey, an attack republican anti choice anti progressive who started his campaign last night at his victory speech - stating Sestak and ALL DEMOCRATS are for increased taxes and against "personal freedom"...

Take a day or so off, then come back and fight for Sestak again in November...And fight to defeat Blanche Lincoln in the runoff in Arkansas.

We got together and did good - we know we can do it now.
