As soon as Owens votes for that socialist health care bill his goose is cooked next year. The Republicans will have a primary next year instead of annointing a candidate and the fury against Obamacare and heavy taxes and heavy unemployment and a fractured economy will sweep Owens out of office along with 40 or so other Democrats. In 2012 or 2014 the GOP will take back control of the House and maybe even the Senate, and if this time they are not stupid as they usually are they will stay in office longer.As far as the youth vote you talk about, many of them are jobless and have lost a lot of their fervor for Obama. They won't vote so enthusiastically for him next time around. |

They used to sell that in cans in the grocery IINM, called "chum salmon". It was Bumble Bee brand I believe.Sockeye has been available in Stop and Shop but Coho is better. I think wild Atlantic salmon is better but commercial fishing is prohibited so it's just been that farmed stuff, which I'll buy now and then. your pal, Fred |

I used to walk into the warehouse in Fairbanks, Alaska where they had a small store in the corner of the building. I'd get a fresh King Salmon (Silver if King was sold out) cut into 2" steaks and wrapped in butcher paper. Get back to the base, fire up the grill, baste the steaks with nothing but butter, pepper, and honey, and throw em' on the fire. Heaven per se. |

I hate polls as well, but there was a definate move away from Corzine and towards Christie after Obama so vividly inserted himself into the race last week.

But as a Democrat, he might change his position when Pelosi gets her tentacles into him. It would a singular embarassment to the DNC is the man they have used so much to spin Tuesday night's debacle so much was to side with those opposed to Obama's socialist agenda. |

Pelosi announced today that Owens is supporting her bill.Interesting that few in the media have noticed that one result of the "GOP sweep" yesterday was that Pelosi has 2 more Democrats in the House than she had the day before. Also, in 2 states so-called "taxpayer bills of rights" to limit taxes and spending went down to resounding defeat. Doesn't sound like a repudiation of "big government" to me. |

Whether the pollsters got it all wrong or not is irrelevant, as it's quite obvious that all of Obama's campaigning here did absolutely nothing. While he may not have hurt Corzine, he sure as hell didn't help him either. As mentioned, his mystique is gone. |

A party is unwise to publicly air its ideological laundry.In a world in which Mr. Hoffman didn't contest the GOP's final judgment, the GOP likely retained the seat via Ms. Scozzafava's victory. If you're perceived as a nutjob - and it's not hard to be perceived as a nutjob when the GOP candidate turns around and calls you a right wing nutjob - you're quite likely going to lose the election. The GOP victors in NJ and VA were not perceived as nutjobs. (Indeed, there were months of coverage in the WSJ editorial pages targeting Mr. Christie as a mushy RINO moderate who didn't have what it takes to win). The GOP loser in NY-23 surely was perceived as a nutjob. The present habit by some in and around the GOP for picking on an alleged RINO isn't really going to pay off for at least two reasons. First, the GOP candidate in NY-23 can't be perceived to be as far right as their candidate in OK, and their candidate in VT should be seen as to the left of those in NY-23 and OK. Second, we all know that it's bluster in spots. E.g., let's see Senators Snowe and Collins get 'teabagged' by a 'grassroots' primary challenge, but that's not going to happen because the 'teabagger' would no doubt lose. Anyhow, let's see how it unfolds in the FL race with Charles Crist. Would some rather be angry than win? |

Everyone's overlooking that the turnout in VA and NJ was down from last year.Well part of that is of course that 2009 is an odd number. The Dem base that turned out for Obama stayed home, because they were not energized by the candidates or the issues. Arguably that happened in VA with Creigh Deeds, but what about in NJ? |

I can understand the low turnout in VA because Obama never showed up there, they wrote off that state.Obama, however, came THREE times to NJ to push for Corzine.I would expect that the same fervor that the minorities and young people had in the presidential election would have carried over.They had to expect that or Obama would not have tried so hard.Corzine elected....NOT!!! |
