oh yes you fool...I signed up 2 months ago just so I could post for this race.
We were told all day long this would be a walk for Schmit..some of you people are blind..this portends very very badly for 2006 and especially Ohio in 2006.
I dont know what the reason is for these numbers..but we better find out and stop fooling ourselves
fool huh??? we will see.
HOLD THE LINE, MAN!!! HOLD! THE! LINE!
How many races have you followed?
I've heard that dire line said before, only to be disproven.
I concede Ohio is troublesome because of Taft, Voinovich and DeWine and entirety of the Republican Party throughout that state. I was confidant of Florida in '04 while most fretted. Ohio I felt would turn our way at the end, but not as much as it should have because of Taft. I, and many others, are not unaware of how the GOP in Ohio has royally screwed up and this is why we want Blackwell as Gov and someone to challenge deWine.
But you are overreacting to this races' prophecy for the future of the GOP. For one, most Rep states do not have the three stooges representing them. For another, we've lost plenty of congressional races after or before an election and than win the normal races. People are worn out after '04. Our energy isn't as high as the Dems that are desperate for a win however small. The Dems had carville down there, we barely gave the race notice until a couple days before. They had a heated primary that split Republican voters, that has a tendency to affect support.
I DO think the GOP needs to clean house before '08 or we could lose Ohio, but it's still in our corner for the moment. Though I won't be surprised if DeWine loses next year since the base now despises him.
