Liveblogging The GOP's Insane Blowout In Virginia
That's Jefferson Davis, in the picture! Nearly 150 years ago, Jefferson Davis moved to Richmond, Virginia to become the first president of a new country where slaves could still pick the cotton, and indigo. Davis' run came to an end eight years ago, when Democrat Mark Warner stole Davis' Richmond mansion and all of its slaves. Democrat Tim Kaine did the same to Mark Warner four years later. But now it is Republican Bob McDonnell's turn to take the mansion and slaves back from the liberals, the end. Polls close in a few minutes! Wolf Blitzer says he is "so excited," oh ho ho...

7: 12 -- Chris Matthews argues that Obama tried to rush too many massive reforms through at once, because the Netroots made him, and then he ran into the slow pace of Congress, and this pissed off the Netroots, whoergorefused to help Democrats this year, and so the Netroots are yet again to blame for everything wrong with America today.
7: 14 -- He adds (to paraphrase), "you can't just ask Rahm Emanuel for pancakes and expect, what was it, pancakes, you can't expect those pancakes the goddamn pancakes from Rahm." Chuck Todd is chastised for laughing.
