The Health Care Bill is a failure as it can't even be read with understanding by the mose astute voter. If we want good Health Care Reform in America, then Congress needs to draft a Bill that they would be willing to be covered under themselves. This action alone would insure great Health Care for all.

OH NO

Doug Hoffman of the Conservative Party, lost the special congressional election in New York’s 23rd district, despite attracting heavy conservative endorsements from the likes of Sarah Palin, Tim Pawlenty, Sean Hannity, and eventually the RNC and Newt Gingrich. The district now has a Democratic congressman for the first time since the mid-19th century.

I see the problem in my peers' desire for instant gratification. If a civic endeavor isn't inherently enjoyable, they're not going 2 volunteer. Handing out palm cards 4 a GOP city council cand outside a subway entrance on upper W side Manhattan sure isn't fun in itself, but catching that 1 person out of 50 who is thrilled 2 see a GOP young person or seeing that your efforts made a difference (be it small) on election day, is 10x more gratifying than marching anonymously in DC. Still, hard sell.

WE JUST LOST !!!

We just lost 2 major races, not the Governor races, those are local and not important to U.S. legislation, I'm talking about NY-23 and CA-10 races. Governors don't vote on National legislation, those candidates do, and both went to Democrats, they just picked up 2 more seats in the House. These Governor races mean nothing and are typical of those states. Virginia always has a Governor opposite to the WH party and New Jersey just flip-flops between parties every election.

If college students care about the issues, they will vote. As a college student, we can have a lot of our plates and voting is on the back burner. Many students have more challenging majors and work part or full time. Maybe, we would be more politically active if we had politicians that made promises and stuck too them!

Staunch Republican in Virginia

On the other hand a NY district that hasn't had a Dem since 1852 is winnable and should show a more sweeping trend away from the lunatic fringe of the right wing. The fact that a whole entire political demographic may be changing, in my opinion, speaks much louder volumes. CA-10 is another interesting race where the whole demographic seems to be moving further left to the progressive candidate.

Staunch Republican in Virginia

NJ typically goes back and forth due to the fact that every Governor promises the same thing:I will bring businesses to NJ and create jobs.NJ ranks 50th for business atmosphere and that promise is always broken.Jersey tends to not care if you are a Dem or Repub as long as you can make them that near impossible promise of bringing more business there. Virginia wasn't a surprise,Deeds ran a somewhat of an awful campaign, esp. in these rough economic times,he practically gave that race away.

I think the Kool-Aid has worn off. Americans are fighting back and no longer buying the Obama fiction.

Give a man enough rope and he will hang himself. President Obama is destroying his presidency by yanking the country to the farLeft. He should have ruled from the Center. If this was a canoe and you sat down on the farLeft instead of the center the canoe would flip over. SEE DAVID

Anyone who has the attitude "If it isn't fun, it isn't worth it." is far too immature to be voting anyway.

I hope college kids don't turn out because they'll vote for the democrats because 95% of college kids have no clue about the real world and are too idealistic

Lets hope that the college students who exercise a complacency toward voting aren't conservatives. I look forward with great anticipation and pleasure of casting my next presidential vote toward conservatism, and observing the disenchantment that Barack and Michelle Obama will demonstrate by namecalling Americans in opposition to them. America will have had enough of Obama, and that's if we still have a country that hasn't had a civil war inspired by Racebaiter Obama.
