Democrats knew they were in trouble on election night Tuesday when a Virginia Senate seat that was expected to be a blowout victory began to come in much closer than expected.

The democrats were not expecting such a result of this election. This means if Hillary runs in 2016 she has to dig herself out of a huge hole. America rejected Obama plain and simple and Hillary was part of the administration

Elizabeth Warren would make a bad president and an even worse candidate. She barely beat Scott Brown in a very blue state. She talks down to people, which Baystaters seem to accept but it would go over very poorly with most Americans. She also has a fair amount of baggage along with privilege that have to be checked. Democrats can and will do better than her if only because it's hard to do worse.

I don't know what you guys are ranting about, I am a democrat. Hillary will never be on the ballots and Obama is tied up with Republican congress, Obama needs counter-balance. After Obama's term we will be re-electing the congress and we will be electing a new president.

I generally identify republican (more libertarian), though I tend to think for myself rather than vote party lines. But.. Republicans have been given a chance to fix things. Better do it. Otherwise, another wave will come around in 2 years.

Obama has been a pretty bad president from the compromise side. I've completely been against him since the "Go win an election" comment. Republicans held the house when he said that, guess how they did it? by winning elections. Well, they won an election without question now, so now what, Chuckles? Oh, it doesn't count because there was low voter turnout? Idiot.

It still remains though.. this election was nothing more than "Ok, they've totally screwed up.. Your turn.. You've got 2 years to impress us"

Republicans need to drop the 'repeal Obamacare' mantra.. focus on fixing what's wrong with it vs throwing the whole thing out. There are some good parts of it. Both sides need to shut up and compromise. And if the Libertarian party would get off its butt and do some Perot type organizing, they could steal 2016. Yeah, that's not gonna happen, but.. It's a nice dream.
