You cannot make this stuff up.

First the 57-year old woman in a man’s body, (to paraphrase Ann Coulter) gets caught making donations to a couple of Dems who were running in 2010 (including doing so while interviewing said Dem) and is given the pink boot by MSNBC.

Then one, Chris Hayes, who is the editor for The Nation, this nation’s longest running Communist digest, is tapped as the Olb’s replacement. Only to be laid aside when it is discovered that, he too, had opened up his wallet to one Dem who was running in 2008.

From The Wall Street Journal via Doug Powers:

Chris Hayes, tapped Friday by MSNBC to fill in for the indefinitely suspended Keith Olbermann as host of the prime-time political show “Countdown,” gave money to two Democratic campaigns in recent years. Now, following that disclosure, MSNBC says Mr. Hayes won’t get the gig after all.

Mr. Hayes, editor of The Nation, a liberal magazine, made a series of donations to Josh Segall, an Alabama Democrat, who ran for Congress in 2008 and considered running in the Democratic primary for this election. Mr. Hayes donated $1,500 to Mr. Segall in 2008 and $250 in December 2009, according to Federal Election Commission records.
[...]
Several hours later, MSNBC said Mr. Hayes was no longer slated to take Mr. Olbermann’s place. The network said it would name a new replacement soon.

Suggestion: Just put a Tickle Me Elmo in the chair, spin it around every 10 seconds and it will provide more entertainment, less spin and higher ratings then trying fill it with disgruntled, failed Yale TA’s.

From NewsMax:

Veteran political analyst Dick Morris says there are “real problems” developing in the Senate races in Pennsylvania and Illinois. “The exit polls show Republicans winning,” Morris says.

“But in Illinois, with a third of the votes counted, we’re down 14 percent.

“And in Pennsylvania, with a fifth of the votes counted, we’re 13 points down.”

Seeing that it is those two states, I would lean towards the latter.

Maybe they should have rented more SEUI SUV’s.

Or paid off more foreign-language interpreters.

Or printed off more pre-filled ballots.

From The Hill via Michelle Malkin:

Delaware’s state Democratic Party is claiming that supporters of Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell are creating problems at some polling locations in the state.

This, as the campaign of Democrat Chris Coons e-mails supporters expressing concerns over turnout levels in the Democratic bastion of New Castle County.

In an e-mail to supporters early Tuesday afternoon, Coons campaign manager Christy Gleason wrote that the campaign was observing “lower turnout in New Castle and Kent counties than we’re comfortable with.”

New Castle County is the northernmost county in the state, as well as the region where Coons was banking on running up his vote total to offset highly energized Republicans in Kent and Sussex counties, less populous areas of the state.

Meanwhile, the state’s commissioner of elections, Elaine Manlove, confirmed to The Ballot Box that after receiving several complaints from voters at polling stations Tuesday, she contacted the O’Donnell campaign and asked that it direct its supporters to tone down their efforts…

…Manlove said since she contacted the O’Donnell campaign, complaints to the state’s board of elections have dried up.

And thing look to be worrisome for CT Dems as well:

From Stratasphere:

Low supporter turnout for Richard Blumenthal has forced the campaign to send out an alert Tuesday afternoon urging supporters to get out to the polls.

“Voter turnout appears to be heavy in areas that benefit our opponent,” The campaign email read”.” It is critical that we maximize our efforts to get our supporters to the polls. We need your help”

I think what a lot of these Dem campaigns are not understanding is that a lot of that Dem turnout that are actually going to the polls are not voting for THEM.

Tonight is going to be a ton’o'fun.
