You make some very good points.

One of my concerns is that we will end up losing because we don't know how to put up a unified front in the end.

The constant nit picking and bickering that I see here on the State Forums is what I worry about on a state-wide level.

Meanwhile, the Dems support whoever gets the nomination, and settles their differences without dragging it out in public, and making it personal.

Now, having said that, it would not surprise me to get several comments that will “prove my point”, if you get my meaning.

Part of why I don't hang on FreeRepublic like I used to.

In PA-12 only 8% of voters are independants, 63% are D’s and 29% are R’s.

No way. Look at the numbers I just posted above.

Those are from the AR SoS’s site in the last five minutes.

arkansasmatters.com has:

41% OF PRECINCTS REPORTING
Blanche Lincoln (D / Inc.) 61,384 43%
Bill Halter (D) 60,770 42%
D.C. Morrison (D) 20,844 15%

I don’t see how they can call it with >50% reporting and only about 600 votes dividing them.

Well, if it’s any consolation, the PA 12 is targeted for extinction in 2012. PA will lose a seat after the 2010 census and it has been reported that PA 12, as crazy as it is configured, would be the easiest one to incorporate into neighboring districts.

HUH? REALLY?

I hadn't heard that before, but if true, that's wonderful.

Do you have a source for that info?

I don’t understand these things either.

I just looked at the latest Eternal Vigilance posted and 600 votes separated them.

face it, Dems, November, 2010 is going to be a blood bath for you.

No doubt about it. Has your anger subsided? Mine just keeps growing ...and growing. We're all just sitting here waiting to pull the trigger in November. It's the only effective tool we have to fight back. And in November, we're going to fight back.

UGH. I can’t stand her either! Do you friends not realize she lives in VA and has no use for Arkansas?

They know they won't be invited to the next big shindig if they don't contribute the max to her. They're stupid and I tell them that all the time. I would rather bury my money in the backyard than to socialize with politicians.

These people also slept in the Lincoln bedroom when Clinton was President. They have his freaking picture on their office wall! I would like to throw darts at it!

What is so ridiculously stupid is they received large inheritances that are TAXED to the max. How stupid can people be?! I try to be their financial advisor to no avail! DUMP THE TAX & SPEND LIBERALS...DUH!
