'Bye-bye, Senate...

MSNBC has called Colorado for Gardner. WTF, Colorado? Are you that pissed off because Pres. Obama asked Congress for some token gun regulations after 20+ elementary school students were slaughtered just a week before Christmas?

And looking at the republicans leading in NC, Iowa, Kansa etc at the moment... they will probably get at least one of those.

Republicans have now picked up five of the six seats they need. We'd have to sweep NC, GA, IA, KS, and (now) VA (who'd have thought this just a few hours ago??), and AK.

The only thing we can do now is minimize the damage by winning as many of the above-listed states as possible so we'll only be down like 48-52 instead of 46-54, so taking back the Senate in 2016 will be easier.

I even caught flack for it. I heard him cast Obama in a negative light in two of his ads sand never once a positive word. This after Obama carried Colorado twice.
How the fuck can we win with idiots running?

Wait! The Republicans do it all the time.
