Rainville might point out that no woman has ever won or served in federal office in VT history (only DE, IA, MS, NH have that similar distinction) and use that to her advantage.
Hmm... how do you figure out how many posts you've made while on FR ? I'd like to know how many I've done over the past 5 years (and I was so lazy, it took me almost 3 years before I registered to post !).
That's an interesting list. I didn't know that. Ya learn something new every day!
BTW, it doesn't help the Pubbies in the open Strickland seat (OH-06) that the presumptive nominee, Chuck Blasdel, just bounced a check a few days ago that was meant to pay his property taxes.. That overall OH-06 race must be the most incompetent set of campaigns in quite some while..
This seems like one of those districts that should be a given for the Republicans, even in an extremely bad year.
One of the seats that they should win, unless they nominate Randell Terry, or some perennial tax scofflaw.
On the other hand, if there's any group that can FUBAR a sure thing, it's the New York GOP, and considering the downdraft from the top of the ticket, I think they would need a pretty strong candidate here.
That being said, the Republicans are still surprisingly resilient upstate-as was proved by the two remarkably close races for the last two open congressional seats, which were much less conservative than this one-and I don't see why this (slight) advantage would disappear altogether this time around.
Put me down as cautiously optimistic...for now.
Oh my. But then I have put in the Strickland district in the Dem column from day one. Just why would a rust belt CD that Bush broke even in in Ohio, without an incumbent, go Pubbie in 2006? Please, spare me, absent a major talent and money gap between the candidates. If it goes Pubbie absent unusual circumstances, the odds are that the GOP will lose only about 3-5 seats. The real odds are that the GOP will lose about 10-15 at present.
The number of comments and threads you've posted is above all of the other choices.
Oh, brother... 8,898 posts and 45 threads (that means I post less than 10 threads per year, I know I rarely start 'em). But that almost 9k figure is staggering... I need to get out more often. =8-0
I've moved this seat back to Lean D, despite the Dem's incompetent petition drive and pending write-in campaign.. In fact, in light of the above, this may be headed for Likely D territory..
And the figure may be $54,915.87 depending on who's right.
You just can't make this stuff up. For far too many in politics, if their lips are moving, you know that they are lying.
My favorite is the new AG for the state of NJ, who seems to be under the impression that speeding laws are not applicable to motorists who are part of the Dem. Party patronage mill.
Of course, she was confirmed by acclamation.
*prolonged eye roll*
^___^
Here is my stat: " You've posted a total of 265 threads and 36,380 replies."
LOL. Sad, really.
This is now my full Dem list:
Toss Up
1 (IL-08) Bean
2 (GA-08) Marshall
Lean Democratic
3 (TX-17) Edwards
4 (VT-AL) Sanders (I)*
5 (IA-03) Boswell
6 (OH-06) Strickland*
Likely Democratic
7 (LA-03) Melancon
8 (UT-02) Matheson
9 (KS-03) Moore
10 (GA-12) Barrow

Note that I've finally dropped Snyder (AR-02) as it appears he's running for reelection, despite the lack of fundraising as of December. I also dropped the open Case seat (HI-02) as the field has cleared itself up enough to see it's rather Safe for the Dems.
AntiGuv: You've posted a total of 518 threads and 15,882 replies.
:)
You win. Starting threads gets the gold. Replying, gets well, not too much. :)
It amazes me, actually, that I've started that many threads. I've seen people who I would've thought would be way ahead of me (PatrickHenry for instance) that I surpass by a couple hundred. The best I can figure is that I was opening a steady stream of threads back in 2003 especially (Iraq & economy) and to a lesser extent 2004 (the election, of course). That, and I tend to post on a relatively wide variety of topics.
I've always wondered why such a pro-military, patriotic state is filled with so many loony moonbats.
Curious.
36,380 !?!?!?
DUDE !!!
An oddity is that after the native Hawaiians, the Haolies are now the most loyal Dem block in the state. It used to be that the Haolies were the most GOP block. That just goes to show that the Anglos tend to be self segregating across the fruited plain.
