You are exactly right.
He put the 'R' after his name because he didn't have the guts to get into the democrat primary.
And the ballot initiatives in Ohio, put there by Moveon.org?????????? Care to discuss that mood?
First Republicans need to stop discounting these rumblings. That's what the dems did. There are cracks in the base.
I know King County was a longshot in theory, but the bottom line is that the polls were even for most of the race, and we lost in a landslide.
We lost virtually every race more then we thought we should lose it by.
That isn't good news. Had we merely LOST all these races, I wouldn't have worried as much. But we lost them more then it appeared we would. EVERY one of them. NJ, VA, King County, etc.
Again, I AM NOT TRYING TO BE A DOOMSAYER, but I think some honest reflection here, not merely shrugging it off, is wise.
I don't mean to be Pollyanna, and it would have been nice to get the governorship back in VA, but I see the glass as half full. What did the democrats gain? One house seat. Big screaming deal. The Republicans, on the other hand, pick up the Lieutenent Governorship. Not bad. New Jersey is a cesspool. What did you expect? Good judgement? And the way I see it, clobbering Ohio's propositions kind of cancels out the clobbering of California's props. Just one take.
Even the local media are not reporting the significance.... but they also reported the Major Hackett loss as a win.
Your willing to sacrifice property rights to get rid of a monorail?
OOKKKKK. If you say so.
Well remember, there's not much for them to get excited about. Any port in the storm.
I am one depressed Virginia Beach citizen.
Sorry the results were STATUS QUO and any other interpertation is so much HYPE.
Why are you trying to spin this into something it isn't?
Outside a few big blue cities and metropolitan areas there is no enthusiasm for the Democrats and their agenda. None.
Hackett lost.
That's a more sane position then most of the people on this board, the only problem is, that California is about to drive over a cliff. Ohio merely has a cold.
If Arnold is lucky, he'll spend the next 5 years vetoing everything while desperately hoping we have a new dot.com like boom to keep the state from falling into the atlantic, economically speaking. What else is he going to do? The D's in Sacramento aren't going to budge, they can't lose, so why should they?
And California is such a huge part of our population, that'll drag the whole country down.
Beating the Democrats simply to put in a Democrat with an R after his name? Nope, don't gove a damn about that.
You're the spinner.
Bullsh!t, we did great.
the left and their government employee buddies had to beg and borrow to come up with 20% of a billion to spend against propositions here in California.
The can NOT sustain this spending in elections and are going to collapse.
We need to put up a bunch of propositions that will cause the left massive brown spots in their shorts and let them bankrupt themselves trying to buy ads that lie the voter.
This is going to destroy the cancer that is the left in California the same way Reagan beat the other evil empire.
Welcome to Free Republic and I do agree with you about ignoring the rumblings. I am afraid the Republican party will split in 2008 like the Dems did in 2004.
