Prop C passes overwhelmingly

SEVENTY TWO percent is SERIOUS

Do you think that all-caps makes you more likely to be taken seriously?

I thought it's used as emphasis ... you know, so when you read it to yourself those capitalized words are emphasized more than the others which are not capitalized. Or is it that you can't argue with the results so you attack the messenger ... ?

Funny stuff though. Funny stuff.
 
now, back to important stuff, y'know, the world of adults:

SEVENTY TWO percent (in MISSOURI) is very, very SERIOUS

worry
 
we got em

there's nothing they can do to turn it around

they're fighting amongst themselves like rarely seen amongst a leadership in this town

you're gonna see the cbc soon accusing the ethics committee of racism (they already are)

it's gonna get ugly

just who runs that committee, do you suppose?

you got white in texas and barnes in georgia running and hiding when O comes to town

obama is backing bennet with all he's got in colorado, yet romanoff, the state speaker who says he was offered a job to drop out, like specter, is currently leading

clinton (bill) endorsed the outsider

they're falling apart

SEVENTY TWO percent in MISSOURI means a lot more than A POEM

build that mosque, try ksm downtown, sue the people of arizona while looking the other way on sanctuary cities...

do BACKDOOR AMNESTY!

party on, progressives, rapidly oer the precipice

SEVENTY TWO PERCENT!

wow!

you can't get 72% of americans to agree on the weather

the show me state is never wrong, no commonwealth is more bellwether, no state outside florida, virginia and our friends in the rust belt is more battleground

we all know the dummy in the white house, despite the largeness of those lobes, is too deaf to hear

but dpforums members?

i'm so surprised

turnout is all, enthusiasm is how you win elections in america

gallup yesterday, which had obama at a new all time low of 41% approval, surveyed two to one the enthusiasm gap

44% of republicans are eager, only 22% of party pelosi, proclaims the pollster of highest repute

315,000 dems voted in missouri yesterday, 580,000 republicans

in MICHIGAN, 525,000 blues turned out, 1.05 million reds

in little old kansas, more than 4 to 1: 80,000 enlightened vs 335,000 knuckle draggers

worry

About what exactly? Republicans will pick up seats, but even Fox agrees they won't get a majority in either house...
 
if reds come close it's just as good

voters are, on election day, INTIMIDATING

and are you sure you're hearing correctly exactly what FOX said?

LOL!

Yes, but your right, knowing them they are probably incorrect or are making multiple predictions.
 
FOX said the republicans wouldn't take the house...

LOL!

Exactly. Missouri has long been recognized as a belweather state.

In regard to prop C, it probably won't hold up in court, but it doesn't matter.

What are they going to do send in the Federal Troops to force people to buy healthcare like they did with desegregation? If the state governor holds firm then **** the Feds let them try to enforce their bull****.

When's the last time a party has held onto both the House and the Senate in the midterm election of the administrations first term when that administration is in the same party holding both the House and the Senate? Historically the Democrats will lose at least one.

Congress could have done many things for the betterment of the US within the last 6 years, unfortunately they failed both themselves and the American people.

In regard to prop C, it probably won't hold up in court, but it doesn't matter. This will provide a lot of momentum to removing the mandatory coverage requirement from Federal law, which is why passage was so important. I don't expect Republicans to take back either house this year, but in 2012, more Democratic seats than Republican ones will be up for grabs, and I expect the takeover of both houses to occur at that time. When it does, Republians are sure to repeal the portion of the health insurance bill that requires coverage, and it will have been non-binding elections like this one in Missouri that provided the mandate for the GOP to do it.

Remember 1994.
One good thing is many Libs don't know what mid-term elections are.:mrgreen:

That is why we have elections.
One Journolist Rag stated the senate is in play, though slim as it may be.

I wouldn't feel too confident as a Democrat, and if they do hold, it makes Obi's 2012 run even more difficult.

Obi has a public record now, and it doesn't exactly jibe with "The One We Have Been Waiting For" blarney. His only hope is for R's to win a majority, so he can continue doing what he knows how to do best as a professional agitator... play the blame game... shifting it from Bush to Congressional R's.

Remember 1994. :)

Um this happened in Missouri what a surprise:roll:

In all honesty Missouri is as important as Mississippi.

Actually, Missouri is traditionally considered a bellweather for what is happening nationwide. This is actually quite significant.

Find me a link that says the Dems will lose one then and which races they will lose.

Show me the elections that Republicans will win to get the majority and then I will believe you.

That's just typical though. The larger the city, the more liberal it is (and votes).

Even in a state like Alabama, Birmingham notoriously votes Democrat in its district. Illinois would probably vote Republican every single time if you cut out Chicago.

It really speaks volumes when the hometown people can make their unified voices louder than the major cities.

And while rural areas rely on their nearby cities, the cities rely on the rural areas for food. However, if Chicago weren't there - Illinois would be Mississippi. If Indianapolis weren't there, Indiana would be Wyoming.

There's a hated of rural areas toward the cities they rely on - but without them, already struggling areas would become as destitute as parts of Appalachia.
 
TWO TO ONE voter turnout in MICHIGAN and MISSOURI

why, that was just THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY!

SEVENTY ONE PERCENT express offense at the prime plank of the president's highest priority piece

including, clearly, many dems and ex dems

read the TEA leaves

you'd have to be as tone deaf as our large lobed leader not to perceive

it's a new blend of brew, 2010---TSUNAMI!

at least that's what FOX said---LOL!

Dan Rather this weekend
said the odds are that the Republicans will take back the House in the upcoming midterm elections.

Maybe more surprisingly, Chris Matthews, with a look on his face like someone had given him the worst news possible, actually agreed with him.

The kerfuffle caused by White House press secretary Robert Gibbs' acknowledgment that there are enough seats in play to flip control of the House this fall has eclipsed another interesting political debate: Could Republicans win the Senate majority too?

The Fix - Can Republicans take back the Senate?

Editor’s Note: These days the best D.C. parlor game is guessing November’s House results. We’ve recently made our own contribution, with a district-by-district analysis that projects—as of early June—a Republican net gain of 32 seats. But the Crystal Ball has always done House projections in two ways. The second method requires advanced statistical modeling of the sort Professor Alan Abramowitz provides in this week’s Crystal Ball. Prof. Abramowitz’s record has been superb in election prognostication, and his analysis shows a GOP gain of 39 House seats—precisely the number needed to take control.

I can't wait to quote you and make you look like the dumbass you are when Democrats still have the majority. You have yet to say which races Republicans will win to gain the majority.
