I jumped the gun earlier when I said you probably wouldn’t have to read Carl Paladino’s name again, because you’ve got to see his “concession” speech in which he brandishes a baseball bat and threatens Governor-Elect Andrew Cuomo with having it “used against him” if he doesn’t get Albany in line.

Tweet Of The Day – Brian Brown
Iowa’s Supreme Court justices have been ousted thanks to NOM’s campaign of lies and religious bigotry and their outright refusal to abide by state campaign finance laws. And with NOM’s money, New Hampshire has seen a large number of anti-gay GOP state legislators swept into office.

As a Congressman, Toomey voted to ban gay adoptions in Washington DC, voted against the Matthew Shepard Act, and voted for a federal ban on same-sex marriage.

Whackadoodle former Rep. Tom Tancredo, who infamously said that President Obama should be impeached “and sent back to Kenya,” has lost his bid for Colorado governor to Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, who has expressed support for same-sex marriage. Another excellent win for the Dems.

It was a nail-biter to down the wire, but the networks are just now calling it for Boxer. Whew! And another loss for an anti-marriage endorsee of GOProud! Congrats to one of the Senate’s most reliable friends of the LGBT community!

Meg Whitman pissed away $150M of her own money in her losing bid to Attorney General Jerry Brown, giving her the all-time global record for most money ever wasted on a losing political campaign.
