Charlie Hurt gets it wrong: Those were solid Democratic victories in the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races.
What will those outcomes signal to the president, but also to his team? That remains to be seen.
With respect to the Fox News Channel, this brings us back to Charlie Hurt's recent performances, including his guest hosting spot on Monday afternoon's The Five.
Over the weekend, President Obama had appeared at a Norfolk rally in support of Candidate Spanberger. The piffle about it was general over The Five's Monday panel.
Producers even had Piers Morgan sitting in the one "Democratic Party / liberal" seat! Kennedy had sat in that seat on the previous Friday. As election day neared, the channel may have been pouring the agitprop on.
In the opening segment of Monday's show, the five like-minded panelists spilled with praise for the president's interview on 60 Minutes. "I give it an A-plus," Emily Compagno said.
In the second segment, the five reliables turned to criticizing Obama's speech in Norfolk. Young Master Gutfeld mentioned "poop" for the second time of the day, and Obama was criticized for the weirdness he displayed by his failure to endorse Spanberger's opponent.
All in all, it was vintage dumbness as practiced on The Five. When his turn came, Hurt said this:
HURT (11/3/25): Now he's pulling for the lady that he agrees with as opposed to the black woman who is extraordinarily successful. He also, at that same event that he did in Norfolk, he campaigned for Jay Jones and lectured to the rest of us about how politics has turned so dark and divisive, and we need to stop our dark, divisive politics, as he's campaigning for a guy who advocated assassinating his political opponents!
"Now he's pulling for the lady he agrees with!" Yes, that's what he said.
Here on campus, we had watched Obama's Norfolk speech. On balance, we thought it was very strong. We didn't remember any reference to Jones, the candidate for attorney general who had run into something resembling an October Surprise.
The past comments by Jones to which Hurt alluded were extremely odd. When the invaluable Rev published this transcript of that speech, we decided to give it a look.
We find no reference to Candidate Jones in Obama's remarks. On the most-watched of our flailing nation's "cable news" shows, piffle of this sort takes place all the time.
Rev has also transcribed Governor-elect Spanberger's victory speech. This morning, Joe Scarborough mentioned one part of what the winning candidate said.
We agree with Scarborough's reaction. A significant bit of electoral theory lies behind her remarks.
How do people win elections? We expect to return to what Spanberger said.
Abolish the filibuster!
ReplyDeleteToday's GOP:
ReplyDeleteLatino groups in Colorado condemned U.S. Rep Lauren Boebert’s costume at a Halloween party over the weekend, calling it racist and cruel.
Boebert, a Republican who represents Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, dressed in a costume meant to be a Mexican woman, complete with sombrero and sign that mocked a Spanish accent and read “Mexican Word of the Day: JUICY. Tell Me If Juicy ICE coming.”

Defend it, David and Cecelia. Defend it!
DeleteAs any Republican would tell you: if you can't laugh at someone else's misfortune, you have no sense of humor.
DeleteOn a different wavelength from Colorado: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/us/politics/durango-colorado-ice-protester.html?unlocked_article_code=1.y08.j3eS.lrpkoL2g9l-W&smid=url-share
The big boob job didn't help her look any less racist.
DeleteAnonymices will celebrate Kirk’s death on this site and tell Bob’s that he’s useless and demented while they hide behind complete anonymity. They’ll elect someone who wished death on their opponent’s kids. Then they’ll fake outrage when a complete idiot (which I have said before… describes nearly all of the female showboats of both parties) like Boebert makes an ass herself. I’ve already denounced her. Now go remind David and Bob that you hope they die sooner rather than later.
DeleteI didn’t ask you to denounce it. I asked you to defend it.
DeleteAnonymouse 10:13am, then you defend it. You’re on your own with that.
DeleteI get paid over 220 Bucks per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. i never thought i'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 15k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. the potential with this is endless... Www.Paycash1.site
ReplyDeleteTurning tricks in front of your kids.
DeleteNancy Mace behaves strangely. I don’t know if she has a mental disorder, but she should resign from the House of Representatives.
ReplyDeleteDavid and Cecelia: defend Nancy Mace.
DeleteBoebert and MTG cannot compete with Nancy Mace for entertainment value, however hard they try.
DeleteThe big boob job didn't make Mace sound less crazy.
DeleteAnonymouse 3:54pm, I’ve already chided Nancy Mace on X as being the biggest attention hound in DC and have been blocked by her. I generally agree with her political stances, but disapprove of her social and professional conduct. Anonymices will tolerate anything if the pol holds the “correct” political views.
Delete10:11 Nice try. A swing and a miss, nonetheless.
DeleteAnonymouse 10:42pm, you’re the Charles Ponzi of refs.
DeleteDemocrats do not have congressional members in Mace, Boebert nor MTG’ s category. But go ahead and pretend they do.
DeleteActually, they now have MTG and they have AOC, Maxine Waters, Jasmine Crockett, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib. For starters.
DeleteThe racist Democrats had the gall to run someone against Winsome Earle-Sears, and then doubled down on their racism by ejecting Spanberger. What a bunch of hypocrites.
ReplyDeleteOh, well. Winsome, lose some.
Electing not ejecting. Damn spell check.
DeleteFucking speel check anyway.
Delete"WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Stating, “I can see where this is going,” on Wednesday Donald J. Trump fled to Argentina, vowing never to return.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking bitterly to reporters as he departed the White House, Trump said, “You take away people’s food, throw yourself a Great Gatsby party, and tear down the White House, and this is the thanks you get.”
Trump had hoped to leave the US on the luxury 747 given him by the Emir of Qatar, but once Tuesday’s election results became clear the Arab ruler swiftly withdrew the gift.
In a tersely worded statement, the Emir declared, “Fly coach, loser.”
In Buenos Aires, Trump was greeted by an angry anti-immigrant mob."
I was in a small plane to La Rioja with a bunch of dudes in make-up. When we landed there was a press gaggle. My guy picked me up and told me the old El Presidente was from here, and after ousted by a coup wanted another run at it. As we drove down the highway a bunch of protesters lined the street waving pitchforks and spread barbed wire. I about shit myself. My driver sped up as I pumped the imaginary brake. Just before impact we swerved off the road onto the desert, zipping right around them with no trouble. My driver laughed at me and said your brakes don't work for shit my friend. At least I made it back to the boat in Venezuela with the kilo of fentanyl...
DeleteBob's a bit sheepish since it started to dawn on him that he is the one out of touch, not the Dems.
ReplyDeleteBob will try to claim victory from defeat by saying some of the Dems that won are centrists, but that is just him putting his head in the sand, since what motivated voters was seeing the Dems finally stand up to Republicans instead of acquiescing to them like how Bob wants.
Aren't all the election results exactly as expected, no surprises at all?
DeleteAnd if so, what's this stupid triumphalism all about? Does it mean you have no real achievements to brag about? Or, does it mean you actually expected your party to go down in defeat, despite all the polls?
"Does it mean you have no real achievements to brag about? "
DeleteThis.
The Democratic Party couldn't even get rural Trump voters to beg Daddy Government to save their businesses. The Republican Party and Trump had to do the heavy lifting there.
Republican are incapable of governing: Day 37
ReplyDeleteCongress entering 4th month of paid leave
Putin must really want Trump to hide the Epstein Files from the public.
ReplyDeleteIt is all connected. The Russian collusion in the elections, Trump's underage modeling and beauty pageants, the underage sex and Epstein, trump money laundering for Russian mob. There is no way Boppsie Bondi or Patel will ever be permitted to release the files. Moses Johnson is willing to dissolve Congress and refuses to swear in a member of Congress so as to prevent the discharge petition to pass. I expect Patel will jump off a tall building rather than give up the Epstein files. Demented Donny will be pardoning a convicted child sex trafficker soon and then he'll pretend he doesn't know why he did it.
DeleteWhy don’t they just shred the files?
DeleteThey probably already did. That was the one lesson they learned from Nixon and the tapes. Burn the tapes.
DeleteOn a lighter note, Moses Johnson plans to "run on his record"!!!!! Bwahahaha!! Most vacation days by a do-nothing congress in all American history.
Anonymouse 10:10am, they may have shredded them. It’s obvious that Bondi and company got over their skis and turned hearsay into gospel. They didn’t have actual info, they had allusions to what was in the “files”. They had files on “the files”. They later came across real info that they don’t want out there because it’s too damaging as to several biggies, civilians and pols. Democrats and Republicans. Thru two decades.
DeleteCecelia, who the fuck is "they"? Democrats don't have any problem with letting the chips fall where they may. King Orange Chickenshit ran his campaign on a promise to release all the information. Does your imagination explain why King Orange Chickenshit sent his lawyer over to talk to Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, and then had her moved to a summer camp.
DeleteAnonymouse 12:11am, the Bondi AG office via the Trump Admin was too vague for you, huh? Every day you put on a strap-on from your big bag and insist that the rest of us “comply”.
DeleteFrom January through the end of October, employers have announced the elimination of nearly 1.1 million jobs. It's the most Challenger has recorded since 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic shut down the global economy.
DeleteI didn't realize an office can have allusions, Cecelia. You're just gonna ignore the other parts aren't you, you fucking dishonest supporter of child rape coward?
Cecelia,

Anonymouse 12:30pm, same thing, different day- an anonymouse political apparatchik demanding that others bend over.

If Congress has to remain on vacation from now till hell freezes over to protect the King orange child rapist, then so be it, Cecelia.
DeleteAnonymouse 12:56pm, why are you insisting that I’m denying that Trump said he would release all the Epstein files? Answer- Because it’s the way you operate. We went thru a Biden Admin that didn’t release much new news either. The argument that Biden didn’t promise to release anything is not a great defense.
DeleteI said that the Trump Admin could have had files about files, rather than THE files OR that they covering up THE files (and that doesn’t mean it was only on Trump’s behalf). You’re freaking half-wits.
Anonymouse flying monkey 12:58pm, start urging your peeps to go back to work. Now they may listen.
DeleteIf Congress has to remain on vacation from now till hell freezes over to protect the King orange child rapist, then so be it, Cecelia.
DeleteAnonymouse 1:19pm, tell it to these guys: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/05/democrats-shutdown-fight-elections-00638207
Deleteare they protecting a child rapist, Cecelia? You are so fucking dishonest.
DeleteAnonymouse 2:09pm, a real possibility. Probably several rapists.
DeleteDidn’t see your last sentence- no, just because you wear blinkers does not make the Obama or the Biden regime innocent. .
DeleteThe Democratic Senate is asking to restore ACA subsidies. That is all. You are so fucking dishonest, Cecelia, I don't know how you look at yourself in the mirror.
DeleteYou keep forgetting to answer my question.
Does your imagination explain why King Orange Chickenshit sent his lawyer over to talk to Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, and then had her moved to a summer camp?
So, why should the taxpayers subsidize private medical insurance companies? I don't want to.
DeleteWhy don't you, idiot Democrat, ask Soros to pay ACA subsidies? I'm sure he will be happy to pay it.
Anonymouse 2:19pm, how does that demand make what I said dishonest or false? Don’t go all girly on us now, Ms Rodeo. Of course Trump wants dirt from Maxwell and he’s trying to juice her up in order to get it. Trump
Deletemade promises he can’t keep, for the possible reasons I’ve stated from jump.
