Get ready, world: here comes Christine PAC. It’s a “new kind” of PAC that’s being formed by defeated GOP Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell, one that, according to the Delaware News Journal, “will allow her to endorse candidates, do independent expenditures in certain races, lobby on issues and do things ‘that other activist organizations have the handcuffs on because of the IRS.’”

In the mood for some dirt on the midterms? You’re in luck—yesterday, Shira Toeplitz of Politico published a long postmortem of Sharron Angle‘s campaign, which was apparently as poorly-organized and ineffective as Harry Reid‘s was compelling.

On 60 Minutes tonight President Obama tells Steve Kroft that one of the reasons the Dems lost a historic amount of seats in Tuesday’s Midterms was that his “messaging was the problem.” It’s hard to imagine how a President praised for his great oratorical skills during the campaign, and who has arguably appeared on in [...]

As another voice to the cacophony of pundits who have a problem with the Obama’s taking off for India. Frank Rich. Rich is not so much worried about the economics of the trip, or the President’s, er, “safety,” he just thinks it looks bad. Very bad.

“So, what’s next?” Rachel Maddow asked at the opening of her show last night, clapping her hand and shrugging her shoulders. What’s next, according to Maddow, is not the bipartisan cooperation both President Obama and Rep. John Boehner have been giving (a small amount of) lip service to since Tuesday.

Sarah Palin may not have convinced many people that she’s qualified to be president but there’s no question the woman could run a major media operation. Of course, one might argue that’s exactly what she’s been doing since quitting her job as Alaska’s governor. Behold her latest offering: A fun new video from SarahPac titled ‘Together’ featuring a slew of Tuesday’s big winners (and Palin endorsements)

The New Republic’s Jonathan Chait joins the ranks of reporters posting midterm post-mortems this morning, with a piece that offers a simple explanation for why the elections turned out the way they did. Chait says that turnout yesterday was “disproportionately old and white,” which explains why the GOP swept the House and nearly wrested control of the Senate.

We all know that the Muslims are plotting to conquer America’s heartland, one Denny’s at a time. Thankfully, they’ve been dealt a blow after last night’s election, when Oklahoma voters approved a ballot measure that will prevent judges from taking Islamic law into consideration while arbitrating a case.

Alaska’s polls were the last to close in the nation last night (or today, depending where you are), but it may be a while before we know who snagged the hotly-contested Senate seat there. Reports this morning indicate that “Write-in Votes” was leading the results with nearly 40 percent of the vote.

For reasons unclear Glenn Beck decided to wait until 5pm on midterm election night to devote time to running down the list of candidates and expound to his audience on the importance of voting. Here’s how he described the Nevada race between Harry Reid and Sharron Angle.

Our founder, Dan Abrams, is a busy man. When he’s not writing about his web properties or telling America what he thinks of Charlie Sheen, he’s asking venerated journalists to give their thoughts on on the 2010 Midterm Elections.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been a notably absent presence in this year’s midterms. While husband Bill has been stumping around the country, Clinton has kept almost entirely clear of this year’s Midterm circus, something she thinks President Obama may be a little green with envy over.

As midterm campaigning reached a fever pitch yesterday, some New England voters found themselves so inundated with political robocalls that their phone service stopped working. Boston’s WCVB TV reports that early Monday afternoon, service outages began to affect towns in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

According to Ashley Parker of the New York Times, Dancing with the Stars attracts ads from Republicans and Democrats in equal measure. As Parker writes, though, the “bipartisan consensus on America’s TV habits apparently ends there.” In a year when political spending on TV advertising will hit an all-time high of $3 billion, all television programs are not created equal. Each major party targets different sets of voters by choosing to run ads for their candidates during different types of shows.

Who has the most to lose from a Tea Party victory this Tuesday? Frank Rich thinks the Tea Partiers themselves might since they will immediately be confronted with the fact they have merely been puppets of the GOP establishment all along.

After reading about Fox News’s Halloween coverage schedule, we know there must have been just one question on your mind: “What does MSNBC’s day look like?” Well, wonder no more! Like their cable compatriot, MSNBC will be fighting hard to keep viewers informed as Election Day approaches.

As a special Halloween treat—or because of the election on Tuesday, whichever—Fox News is bringing out its “A” game this Sunday. A rep from the network tells us that Fox’s main weekday anchors and hosts will helm Sunday’s coverage, keeping viewers up to date on pre-election news all day long.

This will no doubt come as a total shock to anyone who’s been paying attention to this year’s crop of (frequently bizarre) campaign ads. Politifact — the non-partisan fact-checking group Jake Tapper charged with reviewing his This Week panels earlier this year — has reviewed candidates claims this year and concluded they are “barely true.”

Maybe all that sunbathing has affected John Boehner’s decision-making skills. The House Minority Leader recently announced that this weekend, he will campaign with Ohio Republican Rich Iott—the congressional candidate who made headlines when the media learned that he enjoys dressing up as a Nazi in his spare time.

Chris Matthews, that master of the understatement, was at it again on last night’s edition of Hardball. Here’s what he had to say when introducing a segment about independent voters in the midterm elections:

Rachel Maddow was on the Today show yesterday, presumably not for the first time, though it is admittedly a little strange to see her pop up on a network morning show. She was ostensibly there to talk about her special on murdered abortion provide Dr. George Tiller but, needless to say, also weighed in on next week’s midterms and what she has found most surprising.

When all else fails tell the voters the truth…or something. Meg Whitman, who has poured a stunning $141.6 million of her own money into her campaign for Governor of California and is still losing. In fact, with a week to go Whitman, who not that long ago was neck and neck with opponent Jerry Brown, is now trailing by double digits. Desperate times call for desperate campaign commercials.

While the gender-based political attack du jour deals with the sowing end of the seed spectrum, maternity has suddenly become fertile ground for at least one candidate. At an Oklahoma gubernatorial debate last week, Rep. Mary Fallin (R-OK) touted her 6-0 childrearing advantage over opponent Jari Askins (D-OK), causing cries of “Low blow!” to come sweeping down the plain. Asked what distinguished her from Askins as a candidate, Fallin replied “I think my experience is one of the things that sets me apart as a candidate for governor. First of all, being a mother, having children, raising a family.”

So what about all that change we were promised by Candidate Obama back in 2008? According to Frank Rich today, it’s not that the change hasn’t happened it’s just that apparently we haven’t been paying enough attention to it, or alternately, President Obama has utterly failed to successfully inform the country about it.

SNL opened last night with a sketch spoofing President Obama (Fred Armisen) making a campaign stop in Nevada to stump for a struggling Harry Reid (Paul Brittain). After a glowing introduction from Obama, Reid asks him if he’d mind if he distanced himself from the President. “Do what you have to do, Harry, I’ve got your back,” says Obama. Whereupon Reid reveals that he is actually a Birther
