Not that this is breaking news or anything, but Republican Bob McDonnell won in Virgina and Republican Chris Christie won in New Jersey yesterday. Both governor wins put a black mark on Obama’s influence as I mentioned recently how he campaigned strongly for both of these candidates. The White House tried to play down the defeats saying that these elections had nothing to do with Obama or his policies. I believe that about as much as I believe that Obama does not support a single payer plan. They even said Obama was not monitoring the polls as they came in. I doubt that.
New Jersey is a liberal stronghold, but I was still surprised that Jon Corzine got as many votes as he did. Over 900,000 of them. It is a very depressing side note in this saga. That he could get that many votes shows the lack of moral fiber in our society. Just check out his history and you will see what I mean. But at least he lost.
Another positive from yesterday was that Maine voters rejected a law that would allow same sex marriage. That’s 31-0 for us backward rednecks.
And since I am rambling on about non-related things anyways, I wonder if anyone else out there saw Pelosi’s answer to a question about the health care mandate here recently.
Q: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?
Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
But do not worry, her press spokesman Nadeam Elshami clarified it later. “You can put this on the record. That is not a serious question. That is not a serious question.”
What can you say? I guess constitutional questions are not serious. I imagine there are a few founding fathers rolling over in their graves about now.
