The Demon-rats will continue to show themselves for what they are.
In the end, if things keep going as they are, the people will cry for a King or will welcome a dictator.

There has already been one recount....Vern picked up a few more votes...Now there is another one..A hand recount...Also they are looking at 18,000 under votes...That is folks who did not vote for either....There claiming that many of those voted for the democrat..Becasue of the electronic machines in Sarasota county did not work propel....It is BS but that has not stopped the Dems from trying to steal another election...What they want is another election in this race here...If the cannot win once try again..The papers here in the letter to the editors are slamming the Dems even though both papers are liberal......It is a wait and see....They may get away with it...

The dems will never give up power. That's what I posted before the election: it will be mighty difficult to vote them out because the RATS will "legalize" fraud.
Now that we are out of the House, it has become the Out-House.

"The question is whether the GOP would make a big issue out of it and ride the issue to an electoral victory in 08." That would require that Republicans find the courage to stand up and fight back, something that to date, Republicans have failed time and time again to do, which has in no small part resulted in the situation they find themselves in today.
We can only hope that they have learned a lesson from this, and will now do what we've been trying to tell them to do for the past 6 years. "Stand up and fight back, you sissies"!

They got away with it in our last governors race here in Washington.

I don't know why they wouldn't take this up during the lame duck session first, if it comes to that.
To: RWR8189
Bet the Republicans are too polite to react properly if she does steal it: make her life hell as long as she stays in the House.
If she says "my colleague so-and-so", tell her that so-and-so was elected, unlike her.
If they pass her in the hallway, say "F-ck you."
If her kid dies, say, "Hey, how's the family!"
If she gives a speech let there always be a heckler.
Let her regularly find her car keyjobed or her window smashed or her wall covered with crude drawings.
And that's not nearly as bad as what she's contemplating doing. If the Dems seat the loser, ever treating that loser as if she were just another member is grotesque. A one-time walkout isn't enough. Total disrespect forever isn't enough, but it would have to do.

They are doing their best here..They are lining up the kooks to claim they voted and it did not count their vote....It is a total sham...They also brought in a guy who was responsible for trying to stop the military vote in the Bush and Gore election....There was a military group who protested today...I was not aware of it till to late or I would have attended....I am afraid it might happen...Vern is a huge millionaire and he will fight it......

I think there should be a measure to allow a second election in cases like this
if the machines were faulty then 18,000 people were disenfranchised unfairly
or simply, the 18,000 disenfranchised voters get a chance to re-vote

It is TOTAL BS. There are plenty of races I intentionally undervote either because I don't know who I want to vote for, or because I want to "send a message" to someone. If *I* undervote a race, it's because I meant to. How DARE someone come along and claim I intended to vote it.

The Democrats may as well go ahead and give the election to their candidate...
EVEN IF/WHEN THE REPUBLICANS GET CONTROL BACK, THEY WILL NEVER EVER TAKE REVENGE...HOLD ON A MINUTE!
Aren't the REPUBLICANS STILL IN CONTROL OF BOTH CHAMBERS??? Why don't they just nullify the counts of the November 7 election, and decide the Democrats who WON on that day are UNFIT to hold office??? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
To: Brilliant
The Republican leadership will never have the backbone to use the stealing of an election in this fashion to fight the rats. Thank you country club republicans for a party heritage of spinelessness.

This is not the first election around here with a large underfoot...I think the tone of the election made allot of folks not vote in this race...It is funny to watch how many liberal kooks that are turning out to complain there vote did not count.....I would like to run in a few to tell them how stupid they look....They are total liars and this is an attempt to steal an election down here...Not sure yet if it is going to work...The third recount will be done by Sat....Most of the votes left to count are military votes....Jennings is not going to win those.....I look for the totals to be higher for Vern by Sat.....She is already in Wash being given full benefits of the house by the Dems....She was allowed to vote for the leaders....There is going to be a court fight that may end in the Supreme Court before it is over or the Dems will simply award her the seat...She is going to have a hard time here though..It is not going over very well and I think if there was a re vote she would even lose larger......

Buchanan won. Period. End of story.
This is sore Loserman/Obragore nonsense all over again...
