2. I sincerely hope that Grayson sics a good reporter on the Koch brothers
and exposes every single piece of dirty laundry they have in their closets.

3. Considering all the money Pubbies and their fans from China spent,

it was a fairly poor showing for them overall.

They'll still get their money's worth AND THEN SOME.

9. An emormous amount, combined with massive Fox News fear, disinformation,
propaganda that turns up into down, black into white. The voters massively voted against their interests, and they voted to give the keys to the car back to the incompetent drivers. Simply put, the American public has been led into a morass of entirely and demonstrably false facts, intense and unsupportable fear, anti-intellectualism, and let's face it -- just plain stupidity. When you probe the "facts" under which many voters base their votes, they are just plain wrong, and the voters are acting, thereby, irrationally against their self-interest.

In other words, anyone who tries to spin this as a knowing, informed choice by the American people untainted by obscene amounts of money, is full of crap.

10. Stupidity
Tonight's results are due to stupidity, that is all.

We had 12 years of Republican Legislature and it ruined our Country, but enough confused people were whipped into a frenzy sufficient enough to forget all of that.
