We ARE going to lose big.
Indeed, performance in the midterm elections is a poor indicator of performance in the presidential elections as well. (I was surprised myself before I looked at the data).
Is that your idiotic prediction or what you hope happens?
You have been going around from thread to thread spreading this stupid doom and gloom of yours. Chill out. Some freepers were craping in their pants in 2002 and 2004 and predicted our utter defeat. They were absolutely wrong.
That is crazy. Here in VA both other major offices went to the GOP easily. Kilgore could've won but he failed to invigorate about 10% of the voters who voted for both the other GOP candidates. He didn't have a key issue and didn't attack nearly hard enough, Bill Bolling won and he really stuck the liberal label to his opponent like "stuck on stupid". Kaine was running as a stealth liberal with the support of a very popular Governor who should've been taken to task for the largest tax increase in Virginia history but for some reason the GOP wasn't willing to fight that battle (primary because many of their own caved on the issue). I didn't expect Forrester to win and it looks like he actually did worse than expected but I think that was his last minute flipflop with the pro-choice folks. Tonight was a mixed bag, the Democrats won one race they had a clear edge on and another with a guy running as a moderate-to-conservative Democrat. Not a lot to be excited about unless the GOP rolls over and plays dead for the next year which isn't going to happen. Don't forget several delicious events have yet to come. Saddam's execution is one of them, Alito’s confirmation, another round of successful Iraqi elections, and then Libby's acquittal. There is a lot to look forward to if conservatives hold the ground and fight.
I don't recall Kilgore promising a single tax cut. If he did, I missed it. We've had way too many tax increases in Virginia, and the legislature is RINO, spending money like a drunken sailor or a sober Bush. I still thought Kilgore would win despite all that. Now I realize that taxes are just as important as social issues. Best not to tamper with the Reagan Formula for Success. FRegards....
