Looks like an April runoff between Sekula-Gibbs and Olson in the seat that is the most likely GOP pickup.
Oh! Well, Johnathan Alter says....
Commander BUZZ COREY!!
I certainly hope so.
You forgot to mention...he didn’t even TRY to influence any REPUBLICAN primaries. Refused to endorse or promote Hunter, Tancredo, Thompson...and then , in effect, endorses the Clintons.
Damned if I know, but they do here. A sickness. You can’t say anything bad about them anywhere without someone jumping down your throat. I can’t explain it, I only know it’s true because I’m exposed to it. Unions love them(and refuse to remember who pushed NAFTA through), most women love them, blacks love them, almost everyone except college students, and of course, they never show up to vote anyway. If they get the nomination, they WILL take this state in November-you can take it to the bank. Remember I said it. That’s why I was praying the Clintons would lose tonight.
I assume "El Zibo" is El Rushbo?
Yes, if he is even in tomorrow, he will be. On Monday he was whining about suffering from a little head cold, and I suspected he might be out sick on Tuesday, but I didn't really think he would be out on such an important primary day. Sure enough, he didn't show up on Tuesday.
Don't get me wrong... I've actually been a huge Rush fan since 1991. I'm just REALLY pi**ed off right now...
New results in Ohio District 16 open (R) seat
Schuring, Kirk (R) 47.25% 32,361
Miller, Matt (R) 42.22% 28,916
Schiffer, Paul (R) 10.52% 7,207
Kirk Schuring has opened up a lead of about 3,400 votes with about 90% of precincts reporting. Since, Miller’s strongest county (Ashland) has completed it’s unofficial results, it looks like the race can be called for Kirk Schuring.
I agree, Doug. I'm still sitting here in disbelief that she actually won the Texas primary. And she's already bragging about having won "the big states", setting herself up to make the super delegates finish off Obama.
She WILL win Pennsylvania. In an election do-over, she WILL win Florida. She will probably win Michigan.
.
Sorry-YOU’RE wrong. Due to that absolutely WORTHLESS grinning bastard POS Taft, the GOP is dead here for at least a decade. Oh, the repubs (mostly RHINOS) will probably keep the house and senate, but due to Taft’s arrogance, corruption, taxation, fighting concealed carry at every turn, on and on...the republican party lost every statewide office. he was beyond doubt the worst governor this state has ever had-and his refusal to step down after his corruption conviction was the kiss of death for Blackwell and most other major positions. This state is turning blue. I don’t like it, but it’s true. You’re living in a dream world if you don’t see that.
I disagree. The convention will force the Clinton/Obama ticket.
Neither of them can reach the number of delegates to assure their nomination. They MUST have the super delegates go their way.
Obama on the ticket will be part of the deal.
I sincerely hope everyone on FR who find it funny and are laughing and mocking us now can feel the same way in November if these slimy bastards infest the WH again.
No. I think NoGray is an insufferable wiseass on most of the stuff he posts, but he is 100% correct on this. The dems will NOT run a black AND a woman on the same ticket. Not in 2008.Bill Maher, a flaming lib I can’t stand, said to someone who suggested it (O’ Reilley? Not sure) : “Are you kidding? No way in hell will that happen! A black and a woman? That would be seen as Too Much, Too Soon.” And in 2008-he’s right. If one is offered the other’s VP slot, they’ll decline. Obama’s young enough to run again someday anyway-he doesn’t need her either way.
I live in PA, and we actually know people that love Hillary. If Obama doesn't bring up her past, he's done. The clintons will literally claw their way back in the White House. He seems diminished after tonight. IMO...
Keep it up, man, I love your posts. I hope everybody laughing and mocking us tonight can still laugh in november if the Clintons get the nomination. I know I’ll be rubbing the salt in if it happens.
100% correct. But a black could NOT win-because in 2008, he wouldn’t have the numbers, and youth don’t show up to vote. Ask McGovern.
What an insightful comment...
