workers for the November election. I hate to be politically incorrect but I have never seen fatter uglier people in my life. You ever ask yourself the questions.

1) How dumb in the average Dem voter
2) Why do they hate the successful
3) Why do they want to rely on government

Just look at them. I bet if you asked them what they knew about the Constitution they would stare blankly, say Bush tore it up or “Constitution, you mean when you have trouble going to the bathroom?”

Jerry Seinfeld was describing people at the DMV and I quote “It is like a leper colony down there” I’ll steal that from him for this case.

I will blame him because I heard a certain radio host reference him today. If the man is going to have a public persona it should be as a battering ram for us, not recounting his partying or dancing days. That was the gist of the brief mention of Steele today (Tues). We’re in the same position now as in the presidential election, ie begging a candidate or representative to go out there and fight for our ideals (as happened with crowds begging McCain to act like he cared). I hope the egomaniac pushing his little petition knows he is just another version of McCain: a vain loser who doesn’t care if he brings the country down as long as he gets attention. Which he was doing anyway by promoting global warming.

On average the 19-29th districts (representing New York state North of NYC) give the Democrats about 2% more than their national average.

This is primarily because of the reliably Democratic areas near Albany and Buffalo, but the rural areas are only lightly Republican in national competitions.

I lived and worked in Upstate New York. I also worked as a field consultant for the New York State Senate Republican Campaign Committee when Warren Anderson was the majority leader. I was one district over from the 20th.

Upstate New York is very conservative. Yyou could take some of those counties and drop them in Alabama or Mississippi and you would not miss a beat.

George Bush won that district twice. The conservative party is big in that area. This is not good what happened.

I also did campaigns in West Virginia. What has impacted that State is the old line dims are gone. They died, retired, moved on to other places. Those hard line any dimocrat will do dims have disappeared.

Since Sen Kennedy changed immigration parameters in 1964 shifting the great majority of new citizens to come from third world countries with no history with freedom and liberty and that also included chain migration as in you are allowed to bring 100 of your relatives to the country.

They now are here as first or second generation citizens that add upwards of 10 million votes more for Dems than Republicans. These are the people that vote for Chavez like politicians. Is there any wonder why we have Obama and the Dems in power.

And the good news is ther are 16 million more waiting for amnesty and the Dems are ready to give it to them.

that the GOP has gained ground in the district and that its online fundraising game is getting much better.

And now we must oversee the absentee count and fund the legal work that may be coming.

Never surrender!

A Murphy victory by one vote shows overwhelming support for The One since this is a traditionally Republican district.

A Tedisco victory will be under the margin of Republican registered voters, so it will still prove overwhelming support for The One. Except there won’t be a Tedisco victory as this would get tied up in court until the normal election in 18 months or so first.

If Murphy is ahead by one vote, then he won fair and square and it’s over. Tedisco is a crybaby sore loser if he feels otherwise.

If Tedisco is ahead by less than 1,000 votes, then Al Franken’s lawyers are on redeye flights tonight. They need to make sure all the votes are counted.

you and I see this about the same…. As I say elsewhere, same for recounts… but there they know in advance for certain how many votes they want/need to swing by adding Democrat votes and “losing” Republican votes… Some folks still don’t get the point that most Election boards are made up of Liberals, they are the ones willing to spend all their time on these types of things to ensure Election outcomes as best as possible – while normal folk focus on earning a living!

If we get 51% of the absentee ballots, that’s 5100-4900, or +200, plenty enough to reverse that 65-vote Dem lead.

The A**Clown NRCC blew it again. We have a 70,000 voter edge and lost the election day contest by 55 votes, and we can’t even blame ACORN.

Who the heck is running the show in D.C.? I don’t think you can really blame Steele, as this wasn’t his baby.

Jeez, wish we could have sent Palin in there. She would have been good for at least 500 votes.

The AP now says the race is too close to call. “There are at least 6,000 and possibly as many as 10,000 absentee ballots that will not be included in the results for at least a week.”

New York agreed to count overseas absentee ballots until April 13, so this race may not be settled for a while.

which is “leans Republican.”

Obama won this district though, which is one of the reasons a Tedisco win would be significant

The state party is more Liberal than the National one (Republicans control one of the 2 state houses after all) and Tedisco was only polling like 70% among registered R’s compared to Murphy’s 90-ish for Democrats.

It’s like West Virginia and Arkansas–The Democrats have huge majorities in voter registration there, but also have alot of cross-over vote in presidential elections.

Not many recounts or absentee ballots fall in favor of the GOP.

Why do you think the Dems howled so much over the Florida recount? They couldn’t sneak enough ballots in to make up the difference.
