And IMHO it would also be wise for some Freepers on this thread to declare a ceasefire, knock off the in-fighting, or else take it to another thread.
Yes, agreed, this great, helpful thread should be Special Election 2009 Live Thread and also FRONTLINE POLL REPORTS--as we are getting these from Freepers real time. These are very, very interesting to read. Thousands of Freepers can be our eyes and ears and give us reports and sentiment right down to the precinct and poll level in NY, NJ, VA, CA and wherever. From what we are getting in VA this a.m., it is sure looking good (as expected, but still good to hear).
Obama being sent to the woodshed. I love it.
I found this interesting note on wikipedia (for what its worth).
“Of note, in every Virginia gubernatorial election starting with 1977, the governor elected has been from the opposite party as the President elected by the nation in the previous year, even when Virginia had strongly voted for the President in question, as with Ronald Reagan.”
Christie claims to be pro life too. The 2 previous GOP governors, Whitman and Kean, were pro choice. If Christie wins this will throw the pro aborts into a fit (along with so many others!) so for that reason alone it would be good to see him win, even if he has other shortcomings.
