THe Washington post had one of those blurbs, pointing to a 2-point poll, Latham being successfully tied to Taft, republicans being like radioactive waste, etc..
Looks like they were off a bit.
The local blogs were predicting Forgit would have an upset victory, but I don’t fault them, it’s their job to try to convince their voters to show up at the polls. They put a lot of effort into it, and the republicans had a pretty hard-fought convention but no real rancor.
Unfortunately, now we have to fight another special election in Virginia to fill Wittman’s house of Delegates seat, and that will be a harder fight.
So I still wish we had picked Paul Jost to run for the congressional seat — he would have won just as easily, is a strong fiscal conservative, and we wouldn’t have to fight another race now.
Republicans understand this ploy...and aren’t stopped from voting. That’s evident by the landslide in that VA district. The donkeys can only out fox a very tiny percent...and there just is NO way to fool conservatives. That’s what p*sses them off so bad...conservatives listen to a higher source...The Eternal One.
