Just got back from victory party. In DEM Conn., in a DEM city in the inner-city (a welfare ward largely consisting of 3-family houses) GOP Don Naples upsets DEM incumbent Freeman ... so we have a new alderman.
Naples 194 Freeman 171
If we can win here ... there is hope for America.
no, I am not the candidate ... but I was the chief field guy ... canvasser.
Battle on, Amigo.
Detroit appears to have elected the first white mayor since the 1970s.
100% reporting Duggan with 55% over Napoleon with 45% (both democrats)
my winning streak continues ... but this is my first victory in a long time that feels like a victory. Maybe cuz we are conquering enemy territory.
So much for the shutdown killing the GOP in blue states.
And he has an appreciation for the old Chevys, cool!
As a former “nutmegger” sending you hope and congrats.
well, we cannot compete well here on a large scale ... so we carve out a small niche on the map and take them on ... where money and media are not a factor.
If the opposition forces do not want to compete for state house seats, etc., then talking about Congressional districts is a pipe dream.
Well this is some good news.
Nobody fixed it obviously.
Congrats. Go go go!
and Naples is no RINO ...
meanwhile, 10 miles down the road:
(newcomer) Republican Santos upsets (incumbent) Rohde in Meriden mayoral race
Well good. Congrats Pete. I’m glad for this minor victory.
Not much else good happened. There was no national wind like in 2009 although Obamacare helped us in VA somehwhat.
Pizza the Hutt wins a landslide in NJ but no coattails, GOP gains in the legislature were slight. Rats put all their money and attention there. GOP does gain the Mayoralty of Atlantic City.
In VA McPhuckcliff wins by 2 points because of the Liartarian, Bishop Jackson lost in the LT Gov race as expected, only by about 10 points. Republican Obershain narrowly wins the AG race, that is if they don’t manage to steal it. I heard rats gained 2 seats in the House of delegates, could have been worse, GOP still in majority. The tied Senate wasn’t up, with a rat LT Governor they will now have control of that.
Establishment choice Bradley Byrne wins the GOP nomination in the special election for House district 1 in Alabama over the Tea party choice who may have been too “religious right” for voters tastes and foolishly made old school “he was born in Kenya” birtherism an issue, another race bungled by a bad candidate.
A White rat is elected Mayor of Detroit, wow.
As was a forgone conclusion, Bill DeBlasio wins huge to become the first OFFICIAL democrat mayor since Dinkins and one the most dangerously radical people to ever be elected Mayor of a major city. The figure on the NYC board of elections site is 69% as a rat and another 4% on the Working families line. Disgusting. Put a good deal of blame of the face of the city GOP (even though he officially left the party some time ago), Bloomberg. I would presume he even won Staten Island, I can’t find a borough breakdown. Republican Councilman James Oddo elected Staten Island Borough President by a wide margin. I hope we held our 3 or how ever many seats we have left on the council. Suburban counties had elections as well, I haven’t heard if we gained or lose ground there.
Houston’s lesbian rat mayor wins reelection in the primary, no runoff.
Rats pickup Mayoralties in St. Pete Florida, Charlotte, and Greensboro NC. I weep for lost mayoralties, so few cities are governed properly.
Rat Marty Walsh narrowly beats another rat for Boston Mayor.
Former 1 term rat Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper wins the post of Erie County Executive (PA) by about 57-43 over the Republican candidate. Former GOP Congressman Todd Platts is elected a York County judge.
Illinois legislature passes queer marriage. Will Pat Quinn sign the bill in lavender ink?
Byrne won in Alabama? What a joke. I’d like to target this turd in 2014.
Yes. By 5 points.
Dean Young sounds like a poor candidate, if he came that close clearly someone better would have won.
Politico lib7ards going nuts tonight, proclaiming death of tea party... again...
I would actually say to these people in this district to boycott Byrne. He’ll be a disaster. May as well let the rat win, and then just defeat him in 2014.
I wouldn’t want them to have the positive headlines a victory there would provide.
Doesn’t matter cause the the nobody rat can’t win that district anyway. If you want to advocate a protest vote there are 2 indies in the race. 1 quotes Reagan on his site but gives no policy specifics, the other one’s site is down.
The tea party wins when it backs good candidates like Ted Cruz. That is once again the lesson, don’t just back any loser who crowns himself King or Queen of the Tea party.
More BAMA news, rat Congressman turned GOP party switcher Parker Griffith who then lost to Mo Brooks in the GOP primary is apparently running as a indie against Brooks next year. Retroactively proving GOP voters were correct in not trusting him.
