FReegards guys...I'm eating the crow.
Let the recriminations begin!
She needs to focus on her health.
Just for old times' sake...would somebody please post the horsey picture?
What a shame. This has really made me question the GOP leadership.
Shaw lost by bout 9000 and that kills us
AND she is broke. What a horrible idea for her to run. She just refused to believe every single person in Florida who knows anything about campaigns that it was a bad idea for her to run for the US Senate. She had yet to establish herself as a competent candidate in the House yet she got the bug and couldn't resist trying to move up. Even against a pathetically lackluster dem candidate, she was a detriment AND it was not a year for the GOP to be gaining ground in general. Its too bad since she could have had a future (and kept her millions since she doesn't have a job anymore).
Not happy but not surprised. Hopefully he won't run again after this.
You don't have to eat any crow.
She has more balls than most of the Republican leadership, across the board. She ran her heart out, even though the White House and Jeb abandoned her.
And if she wasn't the one to run, the GOP could have put up another candidate. She won the primary.
And after tonight, I don't want to see that "Rove the Magnificent" picture, or phrase. If he was an "architect", his license would be taken away. In 2004, Kerry lost due to the Swift Boat Vets and the churchgoers, not due to Rove or the GOP leadership.
We now have the House in the control of left wing Anti American nutjobs--have you seen the Committee head lineup? It is a Communist's dream team. Yeah, we won the Cold War, alright.
The Dems and their corrupt media cohorts framed this campaign as anti-war and anti-Bush, and didn't even offer alternatives, ran horrible people, and still ran away with this election.
Virginia will be decided in the courts at the rate it is going, possibly MO. as well. And if the WH and GOP leadership fight for Allen and for Talent post election like they ran this campaign, you can write both those seats off right now.
This has been a horrible night for us.
The only hope is that we have two years to expose the Dems for the anti American Commie whackjobs that they are, because they will fight to make the last two years of President Bush's term a living hell.
Otherwise, get ready for Her Heinous's coronation on 1/20/09.
EEE, Katherine Harris ran an admirable fight. We'll see her run again sometime.
She ran a horrible race. Amazing we couldn't come up with a better candidate.
Well, the people of Florida have spoken: its far better to have a low-key, luke-warm, lackluster, middle-of-the-road speaking style and voting record, centrist Democrat Senator who is pro illegal immigrant amnesty, against President Bush's tax cuts and favors gay-marriage rather than a quirky A-type personality prone to temper tantrums that refused to listen to advice traditional values solidly conservative under-dog that received no support whatsoever from national GOP leaders that's perky good-looking posed on a horse.
Hey, its not like sending a Republican to the Senate is the least bit important; they're a dime-a-dozen there. The Senate is literally awash in Republicans. IN ANY CASE, the other states pretty much have all that sewed up, so no skin off Florida's nose if they re-elect a Democrat to the Senate.
The resounding cry can be heard throughout the land: CARL ROVE, YOU MAGNIFICANT BASTARD architect of GOP VICTORY! Rah Rah Rah, Rove's our man. If Rove can't do it, NOBODY CAN!
Forgive me if I'm too harsh on Florida's conservative base as the national election results are not entirely ALL their fault. Although, frankly I've been astonished at the degree of antipathy directed towards Harris by Florida's conservative base.
