this is how...
| 2010 US election results | Democrat | | | Republican |
| US House | 184 seats |
| 239 seats |
| US Senate | 51 seats* |
| 46 seats |
| IL Governor | (99% reporting) | 46% Quinn |
|
| 46% Brady |
| IL US Senate | (99% reporting) | 46% Giannoulias |
|
| 48% Kirk |
they have short-term memories, and every increasing right-wing viewpoints...be scared, be very scared...you're about 2 steps away from President Palin...this election was run on anti-gay, anti-abortion, pro-guns, anti-taxes tickets...and look what happened...thankfully the folks in Nevada seem to have seen through the bullshit or we would have been hosed...would have been 47 seats apiece and 3 independents, all of whom were Republicans kicked off the ticket by a Teabagger...
and if someone want to explain to me how people in Chicago can vote for Pat Quinn and Lisa Madigan (by a landslide, mind you) and not Giannoulias on the same piece of paper, I'd welcome the input, because as far as I can tell, people are just dumb and don't understand the political ramifications of their votes.
this is almost as disappointing as Tony Blair buddying up to George Jr...
