As usual, the comments to the article are quite telling of the country's mood.

Glenn Beck and the rest of the far-right extremist crowd??

"The Republican Party is already the big loser in tomorrow's elections—having been forced to abandon its own nominee at gunpoint to Glenn Beck and the rest of the far-right extremist crowd."

Huh?! But I hear Beck and his friends are just a small group of "insignificant right-wing extremist outliers"... If that is the case, how is it that they are a threat? Funny thing about that Glenn Beck guy and his "far-right extremist crowd"...

Their message is either resonating with an awful lot Americans, or this "insignificant fringe group" is somehow able to screw over, at almost every turn, one of the biggest progressive political agendas in recent history single handedly. Which one is it? :)

I say the former, simple answer, makes the most sense.

Vote for health care means a vote out of office

This most assuredly is a bellweather to 2010, people are pissed off about that health care grab and fast forward socialism that obama is ushering in. Politicians ARE taking not, regardless of what WH spin is, that their jobs are on the line. Continue down this path and we'll be giving them a 100% reduction in their salaries =)

What the election means

What this election appears to say in a loud and clear voice is that many voters are sick to death of tax and spend or even spend, spend, and spend.

How this impacts a given elected offical or a party purely depends on where they and their party stand on those issues.

Of course it's a referendum on D'ohBama!

You've gotta be kidding? The only salient message of these elections is a complete rejection of the D'ohBama agenda and all of its radical socialist operatives. I'm beginning to be proud of America again!
