Poll question: Which ONE Race Do You Wish Had Gone Differently?

All of the above is already implied

[RockaFowler]

1. Florida Governor

Heck Scott is saying he won by a mandate and he won by less than 1%.

[Pacifist Patriot]

7. +1,000,000

[JCMach1]

24. Exactly, the Medicare Thief is NOT my governor... he should be in Raiford,

not Tallahassee

[Dappleganger]

25. Of course, this is Scott's first elected office so we should cut him a break...

I don't expect him to understand basic math and all, lol!

[BurtWorm]

2. If I had a wish guaranteed to come true: Feingold.

[seabeyond]

3. i want all above. the one to break the heart is fiengold. we had honest. we had integrty

we had deserve. and he lost on that. universal law, karma.... that is the one that is the worst. that just should not be. i would have loved seeing both defeated. i would love to see greyson win. but feingold was the saddest.

[Ted_White]

4. NM Governor.

[rucky]

23. That was a WTF

I may be biased, but I've always liked Dennish.

[Brickbat]

5. If I have to pick from that list, Feingold. Otherwise, my congressional race.

Jim Oberstar, transportation committee chairman, has lost.

[BlueDemKev]

6. PA Senate & FL Governor

The Florida governor race in particular is a disaster which will greatly harm the state. Scott is an extremist who will make Jeb Bush seem like a moderate. The Democratic Party in Florida has been impotent for well over a decade and the Republicans down there have gone completely off the deep end.

Don't count on Florida voting for Obama in 2012. We'll need to focus our strategy to include states like Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada.

[Pacifist Patriot]

8. I don't know about other Florida democrats, but I personally feel...

the national Democratic party wrote off Florida eons ago and hung us out to dry. The state party is a Mickey Mouse operation very difficult to even imagine whipping into shape.

Florida's got an awful lot of electoral votes for the national party to ignore. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

[BlueDemKev]

12. How do you figure Florida's been written off by the national party?

Ever since 2000, it's well known what a valuable prize the State of Florida is. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party within the State is so namby-pamby. The Dems in Florida have been on a downslide since 1986 and the state party can't seem to find a way to reconnect with voters. It's been 16 years since they lost control of the state legislature and 12 years since they lost the governor's mansion.

Even in 2008, the great year for Democrats, Obama carried the state by barely 4,000 votes.

[Pacifist Patriot]

17. I think you answered your own question.

[Dappleganger]

27. I feel the same way.

You can kiss this state goodbye for the next presidential election cycle, too.

[HopeHoops]

9. Sestak (PA) - Toomey is just another Santorum but with an uglier forehead.

[w8liftinglady]

10. bill white/rick perry...texas literally screwed itself with that one

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. +1000... I'm still trying to figure out just who the heck voted for him!

[AlinPA]

11. Sestak-Toomey. Toomey is worse than Santorum or Paul. nt

[Cosmocat]

21. YEP ... AND, Sestak is a GREAT guy ...

Any candidate as tied into Wall Street as Toomey was should have been completely toxic this cycle, that he was able to hide in the woodwork and not be held accountable to it while Sestak was swamped in millions of dollars in COC BS ads, how ANY democrat can deny the manner in which the MSM actively steered this election for the Rs is beyond me ...

[lame54]

13. .

[ellisonz]

14. Sestak.

[LWolf]

15. Grayson AND Feingold, equally. nt

[WinkyDink]

16. Toomey's win over Sestak: PA.

[rucky]

18. OH Governor.

Strickland had a good plan, but needed more time. Now we are screwn.

[adamuu]

20. Kirk n/t

[Vinca]

22. Feingold/Grayson. Sounds like a ticket.

[Dr Morbius]

26. Rand Paul will likely be the most dangerous person in Congress.

U.S. Senators have the ability to apply a "hold" on any legislation, and they can do this publicly or anonymously. While it is true that when they do so anonymously, it usually comes out who's holding up the bill, it remains a fact that no one has the authority to make that Senator release the legislation, and allow it to come before the chamber for a vote. Party leadership (both sides) in the Senate frankly do a pretty good job of preventing too much abuse of this power. The United States Senate gives VERY broad powers to each and every Senator.

Imagine the civil rights bill coming before the Senate today. Rand Paul would hold it up. Imagine something much more likely; in our struggling economy an emergency funding bill becomes necessary for unemployment. Rand Paul will prevent it from happening.

I hate losing Alan Greyson and losing Russ Feingold - a man I once hoped would be President someday - hurts, and hurts a lot. But allowing a legitimately crazy and dangerously irrational person into the Senate looks like the most disastrous result of Tuesday's nightmare. Michelle Bachmann is another person I'd hoped could be removed from government on the grounds that she's also bat-guano crazy. But at least she's only a representative; the powers of a member of the House are significantly more restrained than the powers of a member of the Senate. Putting Rand Paul in the upper House is a virtual guarantee of governmental paralysis not only for the next two years but the next SIX years!

I could fucking weep.
