Were election results a referendum on Obama's policies?

I've looked over the "current" polling for next years contested seats and its VERY UNLIKELY that democrats will lose control of either house. What's more likely though is democrats will lose their super majority in the Senate and that is a good thing for the country.

 

This.

 

Americans better be ready for hard times then.
The economy under Obama will go right down the toilet.
Cap and trade (tax) will certainly finish off any rebound in the economy.
Capitalism is a dirty word in this country, this administration has done nothing but attack capitalism and calling out the private sector while living it up in the White House.
I guess that is how we will go from capitalism to socialism.
My only hope is that people will get tired of the excuses, debt and the bad economy, people will continue to lose jobs.
I'm hoping people will vote with their wallets and that they are more centered than this radical leftist administration.

The country may be destined to become like California and Michigan.
Pick any blue state you want, socialism is worse.

 

youve really gone off the deep end. perhaps you should change to whole wheat.

 

Evidence?

 

Why is this something that anyone would need to learn?

 

You must have forgotten the Republicans won in two solid blue states.
It just depends on ones view.
We know Red, you still don't have a problem with any Democrat in power.
Consider it a bet but I also want a happy meal!:lol:

Edit: I'm not saying the Republicans are going to win because of their party or stances.
People will vote against the Democrats because people don't want the Democrats shoving policies down their throats, most people are against their socialist agenda.
Once people are forced onto government health care they aint going to be happy.
There is something that just isn't right about this kind of thing in whats left of the USA.

 

Democrats have held that seat 62 out of the last 86 years (72%), and 13 out of the last 20 (65%). Hardly a traditional Republican seat.

Purely subjective. The other side would say that a Liberal poseur was distorting the party and moving it away from Conservative values.

The country is moderately conservative. What's her name in NY 23 was NOT moderately conservative. By all objective standards, the urban center ostriches and coastal elites are alienating the moderates. And that is what is really starting to show.

First of all, didn't you just accuse the party of being leaderless not one paragraph ago?

I'm no Republican, thank Gawd. But led by Sarah Palin? C'mon Red - partisan tripe. And you know it. Limbaugh and Beck spend as much time trashing the GOP as they do singing it's praises, though not as much as they spend trashing the Dems. Cheney is interesting but irrelevant. He's simply a Liberal lightning rod, and all the old hippies just can't resist striking at him - he's so "the man".

You're whistling in the graveyard, brother. NY 23 is a wakeup call. That district is not in the middle of Red country. The real lesson there is that even with a local GOP in complete disarray, the Dems barely pulled off a victory in the heart of Liberal land - New York.

I don't think it necessarily spells impending doom. But your Pelosi-esque distortion of what happened there makes me wonder....
