Folks,
What are you hearing. What are the results in your area or via local media, Talk Radio, or Fox.
Interesting tidbit on Hugh Hewitt tonight.. Rich Lowry of NRO has been speaking with his deep throat "obi wan" and they have been thinking out of the box and that 2012 may have conservatives with super majorities in both houses.
Just on Fox in FLA in the primaries people voted for Rubio 2 to 1, (just like Michigan) the intensity is worry some for the Dems, Santorum noted the 2 to 1 ratio.
Yeah, right. Rand and Angel are probably the only two people running for whom you’ll find nearly 100% support on this forum.
Troll much?
Hank
Bummer.
Dammit. The RINO lives.
I have lived in AZ for almost 20 years. I have not met ONE person who would (or ever did) vote for McCain. Guess 23 million dollars buys one seat - while the new homeless sleep in their cars, and hospitals fall apart, and the education system is a disaster.
Yesterday, I got a flyer from our Fire Department. It looks like they may have to go to “you call - you pay” services.
But, I don’t guess that 23 million would have helped them, (or us) would it?
Yes, Bondi won on our side.
Ok, found his Miami-Dade total, Rubio won here with 91.13% of the vote and had a total of 71,590.
Meek on the D side won with 56.44% and took in 49,900 total votes.
Rubio smashed him in total votes which means Hispanics are turning HEAVY for Rubio
Thank You Lord!!!!!!!!!
Obviously he’s the false one and I’m the real one. :)
The FR rules on swearing are hereby disbanded for a period of at least 12 hours.
Read my lips fax, um...er posted thoughts: *(*&%&*^&*&$$%^#%&*&**&*(%(
FL was based on an anti-establishment, anti-incumbent vote. If you were part of the establishment in FL, you lost.
The Democrats on the other hand, are voting for the establishment. Which is no surprise. They love their big government and they want more of it.
Can’t stand Hugh Hewitt....heard him reel off endorsements for the house races in AZ today, but totally silent on JD vs. McCain.
Hewitt, along with Bill Bennett and Michael Medved are the ultimate establishment talk show hosts.
Exactly and McCollum will have to cry himself to sleep to realize he is out of a job now.
We’ve got the best RINO money can buy. Well, he can get his “friends” to elect him in November. I’ll be voting for the REAL commie ‘RAT. I’ve had enough of McJuan.
Rubio is a TEA Party favorite, and the TEA Party is getting the vote out.
All the candidates backed by the TEA Party movement won. Allen West won big time in his 22nd CD House race.
I swear they fixed the race for McCain.
LOL. I’m done. Too p1ssed off.
Agree, we’re here in Orlando. Voted for McCullum, as he’s a decent guy without any baggage. However, Scott is a fierce campaigner, has tons of $, takes no prisoners, and was an early vocal supporter of the tea party movement here. In this election cycle, minus the HCA baggage, he’d be the darling of the national conservative right.
A couple of thoughts...First, it’s going to take the demoncrats a ton of $ for Ms. Stink to compete. That’s $ that will be siphoned from other rat gubernatorial candidates. On repub side, the opposite... National party (RGA) won’t have to throw any $ in; Scott’ll self fund. Second, I’m looking at the turnout #s and they are astounding. Nearly 450,000 more repubs than dems voted today (will be >1.3 million on the repub side alone!!). And, that’s with competitive dem race on the senate side. Unless the repubs totally fracture over Scott’s win, he will beat Stink - she’s a lackluster candidate, has run below expectations, and is totally tied to the Marxist Obama agenda. She’ll spend the next 70 days running hard and fast away from Barry, but I don’t think she’ll be able to pull it off.
As an aside, I heard from a state legislator here that Obamacare - via its unfunded dumping of huge #s of new bodies on the state Medicaid rolls - will increase Florida’s already monstrous deficit ($3Billion) to upwards of $5-6 Billion. Unemployment in our state hovers around 12%, foreclosures are off the chart (nearly 2/3 of the homes sold in our county have been short sales or foreclosures), people are moving out in droves, tax revenues are plummeting. In this environment, Stink’s going to have a really tough time (remember, she was state CFO in time of an horrific ledger sheet) convincing Floridians that Scott’s personal baggage is worse than continuing this course which has the state careening out of control to California levels of insolvency. And, Scott has been one of the loudest and most consistent opponents of Obamacare from the start (Stink was a supporter). Should be the linch-pin issue.
Last thought on Scott: some folks are predicting that good ol’ Jeb Bush will emerge as the repub party “healer” and bring the establishment and Scott together. Repubs - for short term and long term (congressional redistricting, Obamacare suit, pres 2012) reasons - can’t afford to have a dem in charge in Tallahassee.
Finally, re Bondi: see turnout and Obamacare issues above.
Never a dull moment in Florida!
Just watched him deliver his victory speech on cnn - he thanked “Deakins” first, so NOW I’m certain that Deakins was in the race as the “spoiler.”!!
I can't get myself to vote for the democrat for senator, but I won't vote for McCain. I'll either leave the senate spot blank or I'll write in JD.
Who is he?
BUMP! I love, love, love that post of yours!
