\ Also, notice how, after Clinton, the Republican states became Red? Before that election, the Republican states were blue. Red is for communism and now the Republicans refer to themselves as "Red" states. Incredible power in the hands of our national media. They just redefined Republicans as Red. And the Republicans don't even notice...
In 2002 we had an Indy run who was mad at the GOP. Some rumors have him being mad at the GOP because Gov Keating’s wife did not win the Congressional seat. Since Richardson used to be a law partner with Keating who knows.
Largent only lost by a little over 5,000 votes and Richardson, the Indy, got a lot more then 5,000 votes from Republicans and handed the election to Gov Doofus who has been a do-nothing Governor. In 2006, the Mormon Istook ran the worst campaign ever and got beat 2-1. The reason I put Mormon before Istook is that even a lot of his Congressional district didn’t know he was Mormom. He also had FEC charges hanging over him. It was horrible campaign and his consultants went to work for Romney right after Istook lost big.
We never should have had a Dem Governor and in 1996, we lost most of the statewide races (we won one) because Istook was so bad and hurt the down ticket races.
Oh, trust me, I noticed! Right away! I wouldn't say we're being branded as commies. More like we're being branded as the Confederates.
When the democrats went from red to blue in one election night it reminded me of how the environmental catastrophe in the making changed from impending Ice Age to global warming overnite.
On the political palette, democrats will always be Red to me. Progressive democrats are North Korean Red.
We noticed, many on here photoshopped that picture and made the red states blue, but we don't have the power the media does.
