LIVE THREAD: ELECTIONS 2006

[Dog]

Please Mods can we have one central Live thread ...its tough jumping from thread to thread to get results.

[Bush Revolution]

I'm in the Navy and I know for a fact that a lot of my fellow shipnates do not vote. I think we need to think big. Only half of the Country votes, why can;t we target the ones who do not vote? My husband, who is in the Navy too, did not vote until he met me and many of his friends were the same way. There is a huge amount of people out there that are up for grabs and we have to fight to get them. Yes, I know it seems silly, but I know there is a way. If Iraq can turn out the whole Country, I'm sure we can find a way to turn out the other half of America.
I know it sounds really out there, but stranger things have happened (hence, the Dems victory tonight)

[Knitting A Conundrum]

exactly.

[El Gato]

I can't think of a single GOPer except for Rudy that can beat her. I like Newt but he would get crushed. God should I say it - Jeb?

We need a Reagan, not a Ford or George H.W. Bush. In fact comparing those to Rudy is somewhat unfair, Rudy is much farther to left than either Ford or Bush 41.

[NYC Republican]

She's ahead by 13,000

[oceanview]

actually, yes they can.

have a nuclear weapon detonate on US soil with the Dems in control of all 3 branches of gov't at the time, and they would suspend the constitution in a minute.

Doing the right thing isn't always popular.

[Cementjungle]

I'm sure it was a complete socialist route here, like it is every year.

That stinks.

[vamoose]

"Fox said that not all the votes were counted in Loudon County, a conservative stronghold. Is this true or false?"

True. 3 precincts are still out, but don't get your hopes up. Webb lead Allen in Loudoun 50-49.

[tapatio]

Goodnight all.After the disappointment of tonights events, we will get up tomorrow and start the fight all over again.

[italianquaker]

In the past couple of elections it has always been the St. Louis precints that turn in their results at the end of the night.

The following counties have 0% reporting -- Clay, Douglas, Hickory, Jasper, Maries, Pemiscot, Polk, Ray

Where are those counties and what are thier demographics?

Clay includes the Northern Kansas City suburbs - population 202,000. Douglas is in SW Missouri, near Branson, population 13,500. Hickory is in SW Missouri, population 9,250. Jasper is in SW Missouri and includes Joplin, population 110,500. Maries is in Central Missori, population 9,000. Pemiscot is in SE Missouri on the Mississippi River, population 19,500. Polk is in SW Missouri, north of Springfield, population 29,000. Ray is northeast of Kansas City, but more rural, population 24,000.

I'd expect Jasper and the SW and SE Missouri counties to swing for Talent. Clay will be marginal or slightly against Talent.

After tonite do you need it spelled out for you?
The social right got their teeth kicked in. To beat hillary we need someone with compentency and star power. Social issues just got stiff-armed. It will be Romney or Rudy.

[ruthles]

I visited a synagogue recently and overhead two people comparing the illegal aliens to the Jews during Hitler's reign. I was shocked.

[Jezebelle]
