Utah is now populated with RINOs. What crap.

I vote they be designated "Utahrds" from here on.

When folks have to blame their loss on a President who is about as popular as Herpes it doesn't say much for the quality of their message.

Sorry, I don't respond to Dane's posts. He's insignificant and headed for disappointment.

"Jacobs was weak"



Take out a few of Jacobs statements (i.e Satan) A 3-4% Gain

Take out The President and First Lady's Involvement A 3-4% Gain

You have a different ending

"If the RNC, White House, or open border lobby think this is their new weather vane, they are also delusional."

The delusional are the people on this forum who (quoting Lou Dobbs) "consider a 5 time Congressman who won a primary by fewer than seven thousand votes", a barometer for the Nation.

"sure everyone is fully aware of just what a disastrous mistake it would be to allow its passing:

Why do u think Arlen "Scottish Law" Specter is now wanting to talk about borders first?

We have already heard some of contents of this bill (i.e. Notifly Mexico First, Amnesty. etc.

However when all the shams are exposed in the light of day if will disgust americans. And the GOP Senators who voted for it know it. Thats why they are moving toward the house bill. To keep it from seeing the light of day.

Yeah and if Jacob had won, Cher's best friend, lou dobbs would be proclaiming this as the bellweather of bellweather's on immigration.

Give me a break, I wasn't born yesterday, as lou dobbs seems to think.

I find interesting that Dane called those of us who wanted to see a borders first win from Jacob, losers in another post is from the Great BLUE STATE OF PA.

PA hasn't seen RED since Reagan. Talk about losers.

It seems like only yesterday this primary was being touted as a referendum on the borders issue and wake up call to the GOP.

Hey, wait...it was only yesterday. I guess the referendum didn't go that well.

You should check out the Pa. board. You'd think that Santorum is to the left of Stalin.

Amamzing isn't. Unfortunately I think Rush is on that same bandwagon. he didn't mention the loss of the referendum today.

He has become weiner(savage) lite since I guess he thinks he is taking away some of his listeners, but if Jacob had won, I think rush would have led off his show with that.

Hey Rush, being savage lite may get you listeners, but it doesn't win elections.

Oh and another thing about Rush and conservative talk radio in general.

The tancredo/bay buchanan ads probably ran during Rush's, Hannity's, and savage's shows and it still didn't make a difference in the results.

Probably a big ego blow to Rush, Hannity, and weiner(savage).

About the only radio talk show host I listened to with any regularity was Tony Snow...I do enjoy catching some of his press briefs.

I was an avid Limbaugh listener in his early days. Where we lived they broadcast him twice a day; there was a second broadcast in the evening. His first couple of years he was more entertaining and even readily admitted he was first and foremost an entertainer. Then along came Contract with America and accolades to him and his head kind of expanded. He eventually came back down to earth but he's not as entertaining as in the early days.

Again, utter nonsense. The very fact that it WAS a referendum speaks volumes about how critical this issue has become. Since when does a well-entrenched, incredibly convervative congressman in a conservative state even have to WORRY about his seat? Answer: when he suddenly "makes a run for the border."

The Senate is already feeling the heat. Do not be fooled.

Uh no when a political PAC decides to make a referendum out of a primary race and finds a wealthy person to run and the PAC puts $50,000 of it's own money into the race, gets massive local and national publicity about the race and then loses bigtime.

Plus the turnout was very low(i.e tancredo/bay buchanan decided to hold an immigration referendum and nobody came).

- This was not a bell weather election relative to illegal immigration

Tell that to the tancredo/bay buchanan PAC, they were the ones who were publicizing it as such and they lost bigtime.
