“Just got home from observing ballot counting in my precinct in Fairfax County. Based on the results I saw, it will be a disappointing evening for Republicans unless there was strong turnout in conservative areas.”
Here in the 6th, I have to admit it wasn’t looking so good going in and the ground game was not good. I got no less than 6 calls asking me to vote for the dem, and not even one call from the gop camp. There was no gop presence at the dem precincts at all.
This does not bode well for next year and leads me to my prediction of many months ago....barky has a very good chance of winning re-election. Not because he is a better candidate. Not by a long shot. But because the gop is completely unprepared to win elections by doing something other than opening it’s checkbook.
I think those predicting a one term presidency for Obama are being overly optimistic, personally.
