Just about every political commentator and/or political journalist has in the past few days expressed an opinion on the national meaning of this week's election results in Virginia and in New Jersey. Mostly they were directly stated and opined that there were national implications. Not surprising, the White House and other Obama advocates are expressing the opinions of "what elections" and if pressured "the newly elected members to Congress will well serve the nation". Obviously these referenced Congressional winners were Democrats while an Administration cold shoulder is administered to the statewide election results in Virginia and New Jersey which, as we all know, were Republican wins and as such truly significant.
The most shallow of the published political comments on these recent election results was a quote attributed to Nathan Daschle who is the Executive Director of the Democratic Governors Association. His answer to the inquiry as to the meaning of the Democrat losses in New Jersey and Virginia was, "Nothing." He continued with "Virginia and New Jersey are independent-minded states and tonight they reminded us of that." What? Are the other 48 states not "independent-minded states"? Did he just drive a nail into the heart of Obama and other pro-Obama future Democrat office seekers? Are only subservient types supporting Obama? The obvious reading on this Daschle opinion is that we can expect that only naive and thoughtless and blindly loyal Party members will cast a ballot for the Democrat candidate, including Obama. "Independent-minded" sorts will weight the qualities of the available candidates; consider the needs of the nation/state/community; and cast a vote for who is better suited for the office being sought, including the Presidency. The current Obama record quickly eliminates his electability.
Voters considering our depressed national economy or the still growing American unemployment level or the situation in Afghanistan/Iran or the strained American banking industry with a slumping dollar or the failing American auto industry or the Obama initiatives toward socialism, they will look to someone else other than B. H. O. to lead the nation. Daschle will be proven right in his "independent-minded" analysis but far to short sighted by attaching that handle to only New Jersey and to Virginia. In 2010 and 2012, voters from 50 states will adopt that "independent-minded" description and Obama will be sent back to Chicago or some other city which would like to host a former President who is also failed socialist.
