The Mid-Terms Results Thread [W:517]

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

You mean Illinois. Thats actually a pretty big pick up.

*gasp* I knew that - he won in ILLINOIS! *smacking myself*
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

It worked in this state, to an extent, CP. The prime measure for defense of life at all stages of life was resoundingly defeated--not just on the basis of women's rights, but also how it interacted with all matters of healthcare.

Republicans mostly continue to have their hold in the state, but some of the biggest proponents of the measure were ousted.

What state are you in?


It's losing in Tennessee as badly as it lost in Colorado.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

I'm watching Chris Matthews, it's awesome. In response to the IL governors race he literally said, disgustedly, "unbelievable". :lamo



For real? What the hell do you expect Democrats to say? I have been saying it all night! Unbelievable!
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Perhaps it's just me, but I found Illinois to be even more suprising to go Republican. With Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio in Rep hands, makes for an interesting times looking ahead.

I figured and hoped the Republicans would win tonight, but damn even I am shocked.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Looks like the Republicans could have as many as 34 governorships after this. Plus they'll probably take Kentucky next year. Kind of incredible considering most had them losing seats.

I think part of that was the liberal media.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

A republican took the Massachussetts Governor's chair......




Okay. Who keeps thinking that having Martha Coakley run for political office is a good idea? Is there a way we can put that guy in charge of picking candidates for the DNC for life?

Don't count on it. In the past 90 years, a Republican has only been in that office for eight of them. It's weird but the state votes nationally REpublican, but locally Democrat. I know my family is big in to local democrat politics, but wouldn't vote for a democratic president if they were the last one on earth.

Yup. Another governorship won by the Republican candidate. In Massachusetts no less! What a surprise!
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

For the first time in my voting life I feel very happy (so far) about election results. There is just 1 pro-life Amendment in my state I'm following closely and although it's a tight race it looks like that will win too.

You in Tennessee Digsbe?
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

That would be McConnell from last decade on legislation though you've developed a one-way mind with your Reform .
You saying the one who threatens to nuke but doesn't is worst than the one who threatens and drops the nuke.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Eh? Synder won. I'm confused. What's up with that?

I screwed up - Rauner won in ILLINOIS! I'll do penance for that mistake! :mrgreen:
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Not like the future felon Scott .
Thank God... He is one of the most slimey politicians of our time.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

I hope that will be wiped out as well, but then again I care more about people than votes!

My point is I wouldn't be jumping up and down talking about converting people to the Republican cause. Obama's ratings are in the tank, but so are Republicans. It just so happened on this night, a night where most of the electorate that votes democrat doesn't come out, hated Obama's policies more than Republicans. When's the last time the Republicans won the popular vote?

Naa! Polgara, you've never done anything to earn any penance. At least not in my book. :)
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

You mean Harvard educated Al Franken, widely considered one of the most serious members of congress among his peers?

Wait, let me guess, you kept electing The Gipper? Credibility gone. Or maybe you were just a big fan of the Terminator. Then you still totally have your credibility.
I don't live in bankrupt California.....

And it's sad how liberals fawn over Harvard. Completely disconnected from the realities of the real world.

Be honest Nimby, that war was going on from both side. It's not like the Senate was quick to take up any bills being sent over from the House...
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Welp, that didn't take long...

Ted Cruz just stated he thinks the same method of passing Obamacare (reconciliation) should be used to vote for repeal of Obamacare. He recognizes it'll likely be vetoed, but it was one of the top 2 or 3 issues that got republicans elected this time out and he feels it's their duty to at least make every attempt to repeal it.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

An eye-for-an-eye.

Meh.... I'm not Jewish. The Old Testament doesn't appeal to me.

NIMBY said:
The GOP started this **** on the night of the 2008 election and DEMs will end it on the night of te 2016 election .

I want the people to decide what begins and ends.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

You really will take a win no matter what wouldn't you. You realize that Crist was a Republican right?
