What you are not hearing about the '05 election results.

All over the news you hear it, DEMOCRATS KICKED BUTT, LOOK OUT FOR '06!

Here is the reality of the situation. The Democrats held onto two Governors seats they already held. Interestingly both candidates had to run to the right to win. This is a net zero.

In California, all conservative propositions lost in a liberal state. Does this bode well for the Governator? Of course not. Is it all over for his re-election? Of course not. There is still a year left.

What you are not hearing is the left lost HUGE in Ohio. There were a total of five election themed referenda that were supported in a major way by Reform Ohio Now, a liberal group. Tons of cash and hundreds of hours were spent on these initiatives to loosen electoral laws that would of had the net effect of making it easier to cheat.

These issues went down by a 2 to 1 margin, a stunning defeat for the left.

You are not hearing about that by the liberal press in their euphoria over keeping the seats they did have.

I bet you did not hear that Republicans have won Lieutenat Governor and AG seats in Virginia either.

The point of all this, it aint as rosy for the Dems as you are hearing out there folks. Did they have a good day? Absolutely. Does this tell us anything? Not really. The big issue to me is the Ohio thing, and there they lost huge.

Oh and by the way, Joe Wineke is an idiot.
