Election Day 2010 Results Are Important

Election Day 2010 Results Are Important. Perhaps that's an oversimplification, but the Election Day 2010 results will change the political climate in America forever. Will the Americans hold on to the Democratic lead, or will they succumb and make the GOP the new leaders in the Senate and the House?

Races in West Virginia, Alaska, Colorado, California, and more are too close to call. The GOP appears to have all but won Florida, where GOP contender Marco Rubio leads over his nearest opponent Charlie Crist by around 20 points. Kendrick Meek was a frontrunner in the election, even though he trails the most. Had he not ran on the Democratic ticket, it is said that the race would be neck and neck.

In Alaska, Joe Miller the controversial Tea Party backed candidate that beat out Lisa Murkowski in the primaries even though she was an incumbent is facing increased scrutiny during the days leading to the election. Murkowski has planned on running as a write-in candidate.

The results of the 2010 elections are important, and we will keep you informed, so bookmark us and stay tuned.

John Raese Hicks Ad Condemned by West Virginian Governor

John Raese Hicks Ad Condemned by West Virginian Governor. John Raese is the GOP candidate for West Virginia's Senate race, and he's running against Joe Manchin, the current governor of the state. Raese and the Republican party ran an interesting ad early on in the race that is now drawing criticism.

This is a classic tale of something blowing up in your face.

John Raese's "hick" ad features blue-collar men sitting in a diner talking about how they will vote against Joe Manchin because he's a good guy and they want to keep him in West Virginia because when he gets around Obama he turns in to a liberal.

However, the casting was out of state actors, and the call was for "blue-collar hick types" ... so the Republican party wanted to cast "hicks" to play West Virginians.

Ouch.

So which is worse...dabbling in witchcraft or trying to cast "hicks" to represent your state?
