AP News: Jerry Brown Beats Meg Whitman in the Calif. Governor’s Race

Well that was $140 million down the drain!

Not a good day for California Republican former female business executives-turned-aspiring-politicians all around yesterday. Hit the jump for a video on the news that Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer fended off a challenge from former HP CEO Carly Fiorina to hold her Senate seat for a fourth term. (more…)

Rep. John Boehner: The American People Have ‘Sent an Unmistakable Message’

All evidence to the contrary, ‘unmistakable message’ my ass, Mr. Boehner! I’m sick over this though! After catching a bit of Rand Paul’s smug victory speech on CNN last night, I couldn’t bear to watch any more of the election results. Depressing….

So remember kids, vote tomorrow or prepare to face a President Palin future! (more…)

AP on Oct. 28:
