Boy, am I fucking sick of Yahoo news.
And this is a day after they ran a fascinating article about how the Recovery Act saved the town of Kokomo, In. I can't figure it out.

The political news on the front page has the main headline:

"All signs point to huge GOP victories."

Oh really? Even though, Coons, Blumenthal, Murray, Boxer have leads in their races, while Gianolous, Conway, Bennet, and McAdams have made their races either tight or somewhat interesting. I don't get it. What's this shit about ALL signs pointing to GOP victories?

The story below that is an analysis of John Boehner called "The personable, partisan speaker-in-waiting."

What horseshit...

1. You ain't alone. I removed my links to yahoo news from my browser....
....because they have so much obvious pro-Republican bias.

2. Voter supression
Why bother to show up to vote when you've been told repeatedly that you're going to lose big time?

Stay home and watch tv.

5. +1. Exactly.
My friend who is in state office told me that this is the point of lawn signs and bumper stickers, that people tend to vote for the ones that they see the most, since they want to be for the winners... :banghead:

4. Google News isn't much better. Current headline:
Likely Voters Ready to Embrace GOP.

It's all bullshit propaganda. Unfortunately, gullible people fall for it.
