and this...
“I think its safe to say that McCain has NO CHANCE for reelection in Arizona 2010. It wont matter if Satan himself is running against him. His opponent was the antichrist and McCain only got 53% in AZ. Both Obama and Palin won 61+% in their respective home states”
*******
That’s what McCain gets for being the Chief Priest of Amnesty.
53% is just pathetic.
Can I move to Oklahoma?
Worse is that even with McCain running in his own state, the House delegation moved to MAJORITY Democrat (5D-3R) for the first time in 44 years (6 years ago, there was only ONE Democrat in the entire delegation). Contrast that with Bob Dole running in Kansas in 1996 and he kept the entire federal delegation Republican, including a new Conservative that won in a notoriously RINO district.
You gotta be a member of the Civilized Tribes. ;-)
...the kids here still respect the college dean...
Okies are so racist that they elected a black Republican congressman (J.C. Watts) who served four terms. Oh, wait he’s a Republican. He’s not really black. The Dems would just toss Oreos at him like they did to Michael Steele.
You mean they’re all like Omega House ? That’s no fun. ;-D
Yep.
Dude look at CO. The swing in the deep red counties was amazing. Tells me one thing: while McCain was conservative enough for me he wasn’t for CO.
Now NV has me SCARED. Obama added 100,000 voters in LV and 20,000 in Clark. Probabaly the lot of them went for him.
I mean Obama got a higher % in NV than OR. We need major strategizing.
I read your posts and understand your point. In 1976 I had to keep my ill Father informed of the primarys as we had two TV’s in the house and he was incapable of watching. It was the Republican Convention he was concerned about. He was a Kennedy Democrat but saw the magic of Reagan. He liked Reagan but unfortunatly didn’t see him elected in ‘80.
If the economy hadn’t melted McCain would’ve run a lot stronger.
Yes indeed. I have some relatives like that there and they do not like Obama at all. Hillary won the primary pretty handily there.
Ok - I’m going off memory here. :-)
Where do you change the dark ness of the colors on those DL maps.
Yeah, I think of Oklahoma as the Republican Massachusetts.
Way to go, OK.
You saw the “trends” option on Dave Leip’s site, right ? Colorado, aside from some counties, seemed to have a visceral anti-GOP reaction. It’s sickening we lost Marilyn Musgrave. I wasn’t happy, either that the Sec of State abandoned his post to run for Congress (Tancredo’s seat). Now the rodent Governor will appoint a hack to that post. Only 2 Republicans left in the delegation with Crank as the senior member. Appalling. Just a few cycles ago there were just 2 Democrats. I literally believe a good chunk of this country has gone off the deep end. Bat$hit crazy.
He didn’t run a general election campaign. Did you meet his Mormon consultants from San Diego area? One of them was the Foley aide BTW. Talk about slime, those two consultants personify the word. One of their Dad’s is a slimey consultant from the Los Angeles area and the son got in trouble trying to rig an election at the University of Michigan. Istook never campaigned in Cleveland County, the 3rd largest county in the State. His campaign people brought in by the Mormon Church did not understand Oklahoma. Was up in the office three times and never went back.
The problem is he was such a bad candidate that it cost us some statewide races. A decent candidate probably would not have beat Henry but at least made it closer then 2-1.
In my County it spread like wildfire that Istook was Mormon and then there was the case of child molestation that also came up that he helped bury according to Court records for the Mormon Church.
Then we had the door hangars that were so bad I told the people putting them out in this County to stop hanging them. They blamed Howard Dean, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and John Kerry for abortion — the only problem was that we did not have a Senate race in OK and Dean was not in Congress. We had a lot of complaints about them that cost us more votes.
It’s going to swing back our way. Think of the all the gains we made in the Ninties.
Romney could win your state.
Do you think Bobby Jindal will be a good choice for next President? If we need a passionate articulator of conservatism - if that is the key - then he is the man. The only problem is he’ll have to come out of his governor’s race and right into the primaries.
