I agree and identify with your thoughts there, with one exception.
The one thing I’ll differ with, was that I saw Bush for what he was from day one. It was with great pain that I saw folks fall in behind him and take years to figure out what I had known in 1999.
By that time the damage was well under way. By the end, it was chilling what he just stood there and let happen.
Take care.
That’s a nice thought, but it’s all for naught if the “purification” doesn’t occur.
Option “E” will cure a lot of ills.
Option “E”.
Churchill might be the most quotable man in history.
Oh good, I was trying to find the link to that site, didn’t want to have to turn on the old computer.
I see they have results by Alaska State Sen? district. I wish Leip did. Better yet I wish Alaska had normal counties.
George P, unlike the rest of his family, still might have a political future. So he had no choice but to back Trump. I doubt he actually likes Trump and I hope he never becomes Governor or Senator.
Not much to be happy about with Deleware, least competitive dem Gov seat last month. GOP failed to run a decent candidate for the OPEN US House seat.
But we did pick up the post of State Treasurer, and reelected the GOP Auditor. And gained a seat in the ultra small state senate, in New Castle county, defeating the rat Majority leader and reducing the rats to a one-seat edge. Sadly, not a dent in the rat majority in the House.
When did we last have the DE Senate?
“Option “E” will cure a lot of ills.”
Exterminate ?
Yeah, OK.
I noticed that a Dem sitting in a marginal Senate district was elected Lt Governor (Bethany Hall-Long). Presumably that will set up a special election which the GOP could win.
Apparently, the last time the DE Republicans elected a majority in the State Senate was in 1970. 1972 was a disastrous turn for the state, electing Bite Me over Caleb Boggs and RINO Russ Peterson going down to House Dem Minority Leader Sherman Tribbitt, despite his best efforts at pandering to the left and Black voters. The GOP did have the House as late as the 2006 elections, falling in 2008 losing a huge (for DE) 6 seats. They’re still stuck at that number today (however, it appears that the GOP got 59% of the vote for House seats and gets just 39% of the seats due to gerrymandering. Imagine the howling by the media if the Dems were shut out by such a majority margin !).
Yes. With a style that was en vogue ~70-ish years ago...
: )
Amen.
Hell and Maria! (I was just looking up VPs, F Charles Dawes, what a POS) Phil Burton is rolling in his grave, with envy.
Find out who drew that map and rename gerrymandering after them.
Where did you get that 59% figure btw?
I got the figure from the bottom of the page under “summation”:

I actually wonder if those vote totals are in error, and if they are for the 2014 or 2016 elections (since I think the % margins on the page next to the candidates are for 2014). I don’t feel like adding up all 41 races at the moment to see. :-P
BTW, when you go to Our Campaigns, make sure you have the right date set in the top right hand corner. For some reason, mine won’t automatically set (but that may be how it has always been). It’s curious you can set it to any particular date and it brings up the officeholders for that time.
