RUN DON RUN!!!
no, I am not the candidate ... but I was the chief field guy ... canvasser.
Detroit appears to have elected the first white mayor since the 1970s.
100% reporting Duggan with 55% over Napoleon with 45% (both democrats)
So much for the shutdown killing the GOP in blue states.
As a former “nutmegger” sending you hope and congrats.
Well this is some good news.
Congrats. Go go go!
Well good. Congrats Pete. I’m glad for this minor victory.
Not much else good happened. There was no national wind like in 2009 although Obamacare helped us in VA somehwhat.
Pizza the Hutt wins a landslide in NJ but no coattails, GOP gains in the legislature were slight. Rats put all their money and attention there. GOP does gain the Mayoralty of Atlantic City.
In VA McPhuckcliff wins by 2 points because of the Liartarian, Bishop Jackson lost in the LT Gov race as expected, only by about 10 points. Republican Obershain narrowly wins the AG race, that is if they don’t manage to steal it. I heard rats gained 2 seats in the House of delegates, could have been worse, GOP still in majority. The tied Senate wasn’t up, with a rat LT Governor they will now have control of that.
Establishment choice Bradley Byrne wins the GOP nomination in the special election for House district 1 in Alabama over the Tea party choice who may have been too “religious right” for voters tastes and foolishly made old school “he was born in Kenya” birtherism an issue, another race bungled by a bad candidate.
A White rat is elected Mayor of Detroit, wow.
As was a forgone conclusion, Bill DeBlasio wins huge to become the first OFFICIAL democrat mayor since Dinkins and one the most dangerously radical people to ever be elected Mayor of a major city. The figure on the NYC board of elections site is 69% as a rat and another 4% on the Working families line. Disgusting. Put a good deal of blame of the face of the city GOP (even though he officially left the party some time ago), Bloomberg. I would presume he even won Staten Island, I can’t find a borough breakdown. Republican Councilman James Oddo elected Staten Island Borough President by a wide margin. I hope we held our 3 or how ever many seats we have left on the council. Suburban counties had elections as well, I haven’t heard if we gained or lose ground there.
Houston’s lesbian rat mayor wins reelection in the primary, no runoff.
Rats pickup Mayoralties in St. Pete Florida, Charlotte, and Greensboro NC. I weep for lost mayoralties, so few cities are governed properly.
Rat Marty Walsh narrowly beats another rat for Boston Mayor.
Former 1 term rat Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper wins the post of Erie County Executive (PA) by about 57-43 over the Republican candidate. Former GOP Congressman Todd Platts is elected a York County judge.
Illinois legislature passes queer marriage. Will Pat Quinn sign the bill in lavender ink?
Congrats!!! A Republican wins inner-city race in ever-so-blue CT and another loses in VA. Go figure.
Wait... New Britan (aka New Britski) got a GOP Mayor??? Did East Hartford??
