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!
Hey just find the results you want

Shenandoah has got it's numbers reversed. Everyone is certain of that. Kilgore is up 55.17% to 43.12% according to:

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.
Bump that.
Check it out guys! The VA page is being updated, out guy is going up!
These spots were in Democratic hands before the election.
:-)
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.
Good Lord! Only 16% turnout?????
WHO is this "Independent" guy POTTS? HAsn't he run as a Rep before?
Crap. Things were looking good a minute ago. This is looking very bad.
If Forrester wins it will be a miracle.
I voted yes, took forever here.
