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!

If we lose these spots, I hope it's an eye opener to the RNC, to W, the RINOS and the pubs at the Hill! We are sick of their WHINEY, WIMPY ways and the base will stay home,....unfortunately...sigh!

Must have been a big Dem area just reporting - Leslie Byrne has pulled ahead, and most people think she has no chance of winning.

Yep. It's very clear that the GOP forumula in 2005 has sucked. Dubya's approval ratings are indeed in the toilet. That is negatively impacting the entire GOP. I have said so for months only to be told the polls are all wrong, etc.

They have a year to turn it around, but not if they are in denial.

Did the GOP need "clarity and wisdom" to adjust after Warner won back in '01? No need, it was just a blip on the radar. So we lose an election. Can't win 'em all.

Even the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association agrees. (on 74, 75, 76, 77 & 80 -- they take no position on 73, 78 & 79.

Bump that.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that almost all of the candidates I voted for lost.

All I know is that the absolute gloating of the MSM tomorrow should VA & NJ go 'rat tonight will make me vomit. I probably will not have the stomach to view. Guarantee if Repub wins, news will be on page A23.

No need to overstate it.

The question is will folks realize what I (and other Freepers) have said for a while - the polls are accurate, Dubya's approval ratings are in the dumps, it's impacting the whole GOP, and compromises his leadership ability.

Or will they continue to insist that the polls are all wrong and that nobody they know dislikes Dubya?

I can only hope, pray, that it begins with the firing of Scott McClellan.

"Can Freepers cope with the fact that the polls are accurate and the people are kicking the GOP tonight?"

This Virginia FReeper sure can. But then again, I do happen to be a Democrat.....

While there's a great deal of difference between the two parties with regard to their stated beliefs, how they act when elected isn't all that different. That's especially true in Virginia.

The Garden State is a goner.

If Forrester wins it will be a miracle.
