Peterson has conceded to Republican Greg Ballard in Indianapolis! BIGGEST UPSET IN INDIANA POLITICAL HISTORY!

Carrying down into a LARGE majority of Republicans on the City-County Council!

THIS IS A BIG WIN! Democrats can probably kiss Julia Carson's Congressional seat G'bye next year because of it!

Yes, these are nice little victories but meaningless as far as 2008, when HRC could duplicate LBJ’s 44-state sweep from 44 years earlier.

Indianapolis appeared to be trending to the Democrats
 
Actually I started really worrying about Indpls while standing in line to vote when Clinton was running for second term.  There was a lady standing next to me in line waiting to vote that was talking about how she planned to vote for bc because he was so good looking, nothing else mattered to her.  I almost threw-up on her when I heard that.

People for HRC could care less about her ancestry. They think she will “give them” something that the Republicans have “taken away”. They haven’t a clue what they might get though.

None of these “leading” Republican candidates has a message that can attract voter interest. The Oprah-style voters are for HRC, as will Oprah be also after a few primaries.

I’m celebrating a victory. You’re not able to ruin it for me. I think Hillary needs a neck message and you better get to it, else you’re gonna lose your job. “O”, and I don’t watch Oprah.

This should really frost the professional politicians.
 
Absolutely none of them expected him to win.  Even most of the Republicans!  The local paper is going to have a hard time writing about the win, they were so hoping it would be Peterson.
 
The news casters tonight talking about the win were almost in tears.............. lol    I love it. 
 
Go Go Ballard !!

“when HRC could duplicate LBJ’s 44-state sweep from 44 years earlier”

Somehow, I think McGovern’s 49 state disaster is more likely....
And Democrats can do NOTHING to stop it, as the entire game has been rigged to skim from the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS she will bring in, win or lose...

This is what happens when Democrats can't run against George W. Bush.

Republicans are kicking ass in the Philly suburbs tonight too. Dems are freaking out that they could lose all 4 Congressional seats they won last year in Pennsylvania. Patrick Murphy is toast.

“”She will be defeated without the thousands of minority votes no longer in New Orleans.”

But don’t most of them now live in Baton Rouge?”

Most of those who voted for Blanco, Landrieu and Nagin are now in Houston doing the crimes that Houstonians won’t do.

It’s because the Colts lost to the Patriots...... Indy voters realize they prefer Tom Brady (R) to Peyton Manning (D).

[just kidding, Colts fans!!]

Yeah, Hillary’s close to 50% negatives will sweep her into office in a landslide—not.

Interesting. We keep hearing about red areas turning blue. I was wondering if there were any blue areas turning red as well...

We're straightening them out though. We have a pretty capable police depart and court system here in Houston.
