Heh - Gorge Soros has a bad day

I almost feel sorry for the moron. NOT! From the Washington Examiner:
You know who was a big loser in this election? George Soros.
While Democrats went out of their way to portray the Koch brothers as evil billionaires puppeteering this election, I’d venture they feel pretty good about the outcome. However, after last night I’d venture that that George Soros is one unhappy Hungarian.

Where the Kochs stood accused of funding some well-known grassroots political groups, Soros has been heavily invested in some pretty shady attempts at electioneering for Democrats. And fortunately, these efforts aren’t going very well.

The first notable thing is Soros’ funding of the Secretary of State Project — which is basically an attempt to elect Secretaries of State around the country willing to impose Democratic-friendly election laws in an attempt to tilt the playing field in their favor on election day.

Well, yesterday Republicans won 17 of 26 races for Secretary of State taking six of those offices (Arkansas, Ohio, New Mexico, Colorado, Iowa and Kansas) from Democrats. Republicans now control 25 offices to Democrats 22.

And then there was Soros’ backing of a measure in California to put control of redistricting back in the hands of the state legislature, a move that would obviously benefit Democrats. It failed, while another measure to give California’s Citizens Redistricting Commission increased authority over redrawing congressional districts succeeded.
For all of his billions, he preserved a Democratic majority in the Senate but failed to keep the House of Representatives (this is where the Federal budget starts). He kept a few dinosaurs (Reid and Pelosi) in power but Pelosi is back to Representative and not Speaker and Reid will be facing some interesting post-election inquiries. If I was Soros, I would ask for my money back. The people working for him are at best, about 20% effective. Posted by DaveH at November 3, 2010 9:48 PM
