No matter what else happens...the GOP is in very deep trouble...and that alone should make us all very happy...:D

1. Link down

Likely so that all those electronic votes can be adjusted. :tinfoilhat:

[rasputin1952]

4. I fixed it...hope this helps...

:hi:

[chknltl]

8. yep thanks nt

[Skittles]

2. mmmmm......don't read too much into it

obviously there is much more incentive for Dems to vote right now

[oviedodem]

3. Don't pay attention to that, the middle of PA is red as hell.

[rasputin1952]

5. Missing the point...they are staying home, just as they will in

the GE.

I'm in Nebraska, McCain has very little support here...my whole state is Red...the GOP is in deep troouble.

[oviedodem]

10. it's the Clinton factor and republicans hate her so much they that they

don't want to see her in office.

[quakerboy]

6. nice.

If it were the general, Either Obama or Hillary would have blown McCain out of the water. If only it stays that way

Actually, even if you add up the entire Republic vote, either Democrat beats it.

[rasputin1952]

21. Yep...they are on the Titanic, listening to the band...

;)

[Beregond2]

7. Exactly.

Which is why the "I win the big states" arguement is meaningless. The people are turning to the Democrats in their millions.

[rasputin1952]

20. Precisely...

best chance we've had in a long time to make a change...a dramatic change.

Once they are in though, we have to hold their feet to the fire...we must never forget, they work for us!

[EFerrari]

9. You bet! When I scout for ER news, there's item after item

about new Dem registrations. :toast:

[rasputin1952]

11. I don't need a Crystal Ball to see the handwriting on the wall...

bush has destroyed the GOP for the foreseeable future.

When one looks at what McCain has to offer...(nothing)...it's all over...and both Houses of Congress should get excellent #'s and that is really what we need.

:woohoo:

[Swamp Rat]

12. yep!

:D

[rasputin1952]

14. LOL...Nothing like Hitler to cheer things up around here...

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

26. LOL!

:rofl:

[Straight Shooter]

13. I will peer into my crystal ball when I see who McCain's prospective VP will be.

That's the other shoe that will drop. :(

[rasputin1952]

16. That is an important selection...I suspect that McCain won't last

another 4 years, he's not in the best of shape.

But in the long run, I really don't think he has a chance...his VP will be from the same veggie bin they seem to use when looking for a candidate...:D

[Straight Shooter]

17. I think the GOP voters are counting on that.

No need to insult vegetables, though. :D

[rasputin1952]

19. LOL...I like most veggies...just the rotting ones make it to the

GOP...:D

[AtomicKitten]

15. They estimate some 130,000 Rs crossed over to vote.

The question now is is that 4real or Operation Chaos.

Inquiring minds want to know.

[rasputin1952]

18. I figure some were "OC", but that can work ot our advantage as

well.

I have been telling people around here that the GOP can't win without doing something underhanded, and cheating is not something any American should do in an election. People are listening, they hold their vote in high regard, and cheating is seriously frowned upon.

I figure if they can't get into office w/o cheating in some way, they are worse that dog crap anyway...even the R's around here agree w/that, and it might be one of the reasons they are both worried, and not all that fired up.

Just hit 'em w/the truth w/o getting into an argument...most of the R's I know are honest, decent folk, they know they've been "had" and are pretty aggravated it. The biggest problem they have is that "their" party has been hijacked by thieves and liars, they know it, but gentle reminders from me and others help drive home the point...;)

[AtomicKitten]

23. It actually works for Barack -- Old Politics Vs New.

I look forward to taking hammer and tongs to the Republicans. Oh yeah.

:D

[rasputin1952]

35. RED HOT hammer and tongs...

:woohoo:

[Spider Jerusalem]

22. GOP primary is uncontested, too, though, in any real sense.

They have a nominee; any vote in the Republican primary would be a pro forma exercise and nothing more. I don't think the Republicans have much chance come November either, but it IS useful to keep in mind that Republican primary votes at this point aren't a good gauge of anything.

[rasputin1952]

27. But thee were other cnadidates on the ballot as well...

LOCAL ones...one would think theys; cast avote for them, but they didn't show up...they abandonded them all.

[HuffleClaw]

24. they are even talking about this at the 'other place'

some genuine doom and gloom stuff too, unless its been deleted by now

[rasputin1952]

28. The pain is difficult for them to bear...

after what they put us through...my heart isny exactly breakiing...:D

[gcomeau]

25. The GOP turnout doesn't do much for me...

Considering they have a nominee so there are no real stakes.

What DOES do something for me is that they have a nominee and have had him for almost 2 months now... who still can't beat 75% in their own primary when anyone voting against him is pretty much lodging a protest vote at this point. But they still turn out to do it. Huckabee and Ron Paul took like 27% of the vote. Oh, how happy the Republicans must be with their choice...

[rasputin1952]

29. Before he became the "heir apparent", they spent a lot of time

bashing him intothe ground...they're conflicted, which is fine by me.

Just wait until one of our candidates lets loose on the goomer...he'll self-destruct...he has nothing. He's running on..."I should be president, I 'earned' this".

:eyes:

[4themind]

30. One could argue that we're more conflicted than they are

Just due to the fact that we haven't decided on a nominee yet. Hopefully we can unify moreso than McCain unifies his base. We can't have as many democrats as the CNN exit polls suggest vote for McCain (which may not necessarily be true).

[LiberalFighter]

33. That is worth considering. But too much time for them to mobilize their supporters.

Hopefully, they will be turned off with McCain throughout the campaign.

[LiberalFighter]

31. I wouldn't put too much stock in R turnout at this stage of the game.

If there was still a race on that side then it would be worth considering.

[rasputin1952]

34. They have no motivation...both because McCain is in there...

and because McCain is in there. The second one being, they don't like him, so they are not motivated to go out and vote for him.

I know a lot of R's here in Nebraska...McCain is seen as a pariah, just another bush flunky, but on steroids.

People are in pain, and it is because of GOP policies, (and a complacent D congress), and they don't want to see any more of this.
