Official Election Day 2005 Watch [Live Thread]
Shameless Vanity Post | November 8, 2005 | BillyBoy

Posted on 11/07/2005 11:46:41 PM PST by BillyBoy

My Fellow FReepers,

As it now past midnight (well at least for those of us in Central Standard Time) and I did a general search and couldn't find a single thread dedicated to election 2005, I have taken the liberty of creating one.

THIS is the place to post all your updates and discussions on '05 races around the country. From the Boston Mayoral Race to the fight for Virginia Attorney General, keep the adrenaline flowing here.

Will the GOP make a midterm gubernatorial comeback after suffering through the 2001 "mistakes" of McGreeley and Mark Warner? Will Ahnuld, the CA Dummycrats, or independent minded conservatives emerge triumph in California's latest (but not greatest!) "special election"? Will the liberal incumbent crush his equally liberal challenger in New York? And do conservatives even care?

Let's get the discussion rolling folks. You heard it here first!

Just got back from voting. I hope some of Arnolds stuff makes it through! I for one would get sick if we get MEATHEAD or Warren '' the idiot'' Beatty for Governor. I could not stomach that!

what a crock !!!! I didn't leave my screen till I got the final page that showed the # vote I had cast and otherwise indicated my vote had been counted. I verified that by calling a Poll Official .. and if the D's didn't take time to do it right,it's their bad. (tho I think their stories about votes not being counted are just a lie)

Since you live in the Commonwealth, I just have to ask: What's up with Russell County voting 60/40 FOR Warner in '01 & breaking 53/45 for Bush in '04? Is it a major swing county?

Now I'm getting a bad feeling that Kaine will win. Kilgore feel big time with those new votes while the republicans for Lt. Governor and AG held steady

Results will bounce around, depends where the returns are coming from.

Kilgore is 4 points behind McDonnell, so this could be tight.

It is too early to tell what's happening, but these early returns aren't bad for Kaine.

Kilgore is running way behind the down ticket candidates.

14 points behind the lt governor and 6 points behind attorney general position. At least we have one winner tonight in the Lt governor position. His numbers are solid and is a lock win.

"At least we have one winner tonight in the Lt governor position."

I tend to agree with Brian Whitman regarding Mr. Beatty's seeming fixation with The Governator.

Why doesn't he just get a restraining order?!

Seriously, something's up with that guy.

:0)
