Looks like with the latest proposals to tax the wealthy, there won't be any more they will move, or shut their businesses. Libs are making it counter intuitive to try to succeed. I see now why Oprah supports Obama, he programs will increase unemployment so much that there will be a lot more viewers.

That state of Califiornia is such a well oiled machine that they decided they just keep doing the same thing and electing democrats.

The handwriting is on the wall, for the (GOP) Judy Chu is headed to Washington and many more democrats will follow. The democratic is stronger than ever before,and that is because of President Obama,..

So, a Democrat running in a special election in a heavily Democrat East L.A. district wins 62% of the vote keeping the heavily Democrat district Democrat. Hoo boy, the Repubs' are in trouble now.

With that much of a majority and the fact they have been in power since 2006, I wonder when the blame Bush mantra will cease?

Ahhhhh, something new for the GOP to "Chu" on for a while, eh?!

Rah ! Siss Boom Bah !

Ever wonder why Democrats seem to be the candidates of choice in the worst States with the worst Cities in America? One day they will figure out Obama really blew it for them, it is tax and spend, not spend and tax! A fatal flaw of the Democratic strategy that they just don't get! You know when I would vote for government controlled health care reform, when our elected officials take a 25% pay and pension cut to help fund it, that is when!

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at their next holiday family gathering...

REPUGLICANS HAVE 178 SEATS IN THE HOUSE?!?!!
We need to work on The House.

Now if only the Democrats could agree with each other, we can start to get some things accomplished.

Ain't nothing but flakes and nuts come from California and this proves it.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I hear the term "rhetorical flourish" one more time I'm going to puke!

Republicans continue to demonstrate that the Party is not in tune with the 21st Century. What will it take for Republicans to wake up? I don't think it is another terrorist attack, which some of them wish for. Perhaps they should shuck their jingoistic ways and get real, with real solutions to the Nation's problems.

Congratulations to Ms. Chu, and let's hope she is a true democrat who works hard to help the people who need it most.

Chu, a current member of the state Board of Equalization, won around 62 percent of the vote, easily topping Republican Betty Chu, her cousin by marriage.

The battle was for California's 32nd Congressional district, which is located east of downtown Los Angeles and heavily dominated by Democrats.

62% in a "heavily dominated" district. At least there are signs that the kool aid is getting weaker.

California, you are a beautiful state. But please – don't come asking for federal dollars to bail out your pathetic state legislators sorry attempt at fiscal management.

Family dinners must be kinda tense in the extended Chu family these days...

Conservatives everywhere would wish for more Republicans than Democrats of course. My reasonable hope, however, is that there
are a number of moderate and reasonable democrats among the
majority. Please 'come out come out where ever you are', and put
a stop to Obama's socialistic agenda. America IS a great country,
the best! With God's protection and your help, it will stay that way.

Isn't it wonderful to see the Republicans whither up and dwindle into a flickering candle in a hail storm?? You betcha it is. Now that the Democrats have repleced the party of Never with the Party of Can Do and Hope America has turned an important corner and reached a major milestone. Health care will be passed in August. Then we are going to go Green nationwide. Sotomayor will be confirmed by the Senate. The troops are on their way home from Jarge Dehebeya Bahoooooosh's unneccessary war in Iraq. Cheney will stand trial for war crimes. Meanwhile Palin will fade into obscurity and sit on her porch eating moose stew. We won! Obama is changing the political landscape and restoring America to it once esteemed glory! Obama-Biden 2012!

Why do all of the so-called "job creation bills" (stimulus, crap and trade) have extensive increases in unemployment benefits? If there was truly a belief that so many jobs will be created by these processes, why even bother upping the ante for unemployment?

I know this is off-topic, but in my opinion it's much more worthy of discussion than keeping the red-blue scoreboard which will evoke the usual partisan hack style comments so frequently seen here.

Another democrat representing those who want the government to "gimme" everything rather than working for it.

Some people never learn, and, therefore, deserve to become extinct. What party and what policies have put California in the mess that is in? For those who don't know, it is the Dems (and Repubs who are Democrat wannabes) Unfortunately we have an administration which will do all that it can to save California, which, in turn, will do nothing to change. We, the voters, are stupid, and we deserve what we get.

As long as the seat remains in the Donkey Party. I can't imagine a republican congressman/woman ever coming from that district.

No surprise here, CA is bankrupt so sending one of their dems to DC is normal for that state. No wonder CA is behind TX according to The Economist.

Why is Steve Rattner quitting?
