2 governorships for 2 seats in the House? I'll take that trade. Hell, let'em have all the governor's seats at that exchange rate.

As far as this election being a referendum on Obama, despite what GOP mouthpieces would have you believe, exit polls say otherwise. The governor's races were about the candidates, not the parties.

Clueless. Filled with hubris (and an equally overblown sense of entitlement). Completely tone deaf to the economic suffering and hardship he and his ilk have caused.

How many millions did this jackass get in bonus money?
