It’s over, Begich is just being a jerk about it.
*************
At this stage yes. But he did say sometime back he wouldn’t concede
until the last vote was counted. That may still be a few days out.
Well a concession speech is nice and sportsman like but one isn’t necessary from the loser for the winner to be declared the winner by the secretary of state when the vote is certified. Let’s just take the win and Begich can go pound sand!
I wouldn’t have been blamed Gillespie one bit here in Va if he never had issued a concession statement. Another words...stay mum, make some private remarks to his supporters and go on with his life. Republicans won 8 out of 11 congressional districts and by that proportionality alone Gillespie should have taken the race. The word is out in some circles that some voters confused old senator John warner with Mark warner and there were other irregularities coming out of Fairfax county and Richmond who always announce their vote counts last!
If the Grubergate videos had gotten the exposure leading up to the election instead of post-election, Ed Gillespie would likely be your Senator-elect today.
Same for Scott Brown in NH. All in all, fewer of these late races would have been close.
How about Cronyism with THE RAT PARTY? Gee I wonder why the rat party endorsed Walker and illegally joined forces with him, derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that’s a tough one.
Why don’t you take your pro-tax propaganda to DU.
“Correction: I saw an update that had Sllivan’s lead go back from 6900 to some 7600 plus votes.”
yep:
“ELECTION UPDATE: Friday ballot count does little to change Walker, Sullivan leads”
Prior to the election I had simply googled the phrase “Parnell vs Walker on Social issues” was something like that ...
I do NOT read the Huffington Post it`s a joke but it was really the first Google result
Huffington Post thought Walker was the one to vote for, was kind of unsettling.
Sarah said they all lied about his record, HP are liars so that would fit.
I am not turning on her or anything, she has a darn good record, but as I said was a bit unsettling
When Obama spent billions yea trillions on his “stimulus” in 2009 it was a big payout to labor unions like the United Auto Workers, National Education Association and the Service Employees International Union, among others.
Obama lined the pockets of his labor union cronies big time.
Then he stabbed them and all of us in the back with his national version of Romneycare, the Affordable Care Act.
He took what Mitt did in MA and made it worse to bail out big insurance and big hospital groups hurt by all the “freeloaders” (ILLEGALS?) showing up for medical treatment without coverage. As I posted before, their stocks are doing great with all of us paying more to make it happen courtesy of Obama.
GRUBER WORKED FOR ROMNEY BEFORE HE WORKED FOR OBAMA.
There’s plenty of cronyism to go around in this country and knowing it makes my blood boil and makes me very open to the notion of a new political party in this country like UKIP in the UK.
Oil Execs: “You don’t know who you’re messing with!”
Yet, “The Corrupt Bastards Club” takes it on the chin.

Oil dividends are written in that Constitution, if people don’t like it then they should change that Constitution. Its not like Sarah is supporting something like the dems who either try to add things to a Constitution or ignore things already in it.
Give Walker a shot, he ain't a democrat and about time for some change to help our Repub Party up here become more accountable.
The only Walker voters I heard from don't give a rat's behind about Walker or what Palin says. They voted for him because he ran with the democrat Mallott and against Parnell. This was the ticket that was demanded by the unions in order to get their cash. Walker made a deal with the devil and now he is going to find out quickly Democrats don't share power-bipartisanship means their way or the highway. Palin's support of Walker was her way to get back at Parnell for getting rid of ACES. It's all personal to her.
Palin was successful in getting her “unity” team of a RINO and liberal pro-abort democrat elected over the pro-life republican governor who replaced her. This woman is the biggest sell-out in republican politics in years. How on earth anyone could continue to support her is beyond belief.
Thank God for Palin and her helping create and lead this great conservative movement since 2008 and give us a huge number of new office holders with her campaigning efforts in well over a 100 races, including giving us Ted Cruz.
I will have to learn the details of her strategy in Alaska but Lord knows she is a great leader with vision.
No “conservative” helps pro-abort politicians get elected because they have a personal vendetta against the pro-life republican that replaced them. Palin is the biggest phoney this side of the moon, the female version of Karl Rove.
This must be my week for running into the nut cases.
One big difference in you and me. I support real conservatives. Palin has shown her true colors. She’s all about herself. She has no core beliefs. She’s a phoney. Any pro-abortion legislation that’s passed by the new RINO governor and his liberal democrat sidekick can be directly attributed to Palin’s endorsement.
It’s baffling how you can be so ignorant and hateful of one of the great conservative forces to bless America, but have fun selling your craziness on FR.
You fake conservatives just can't get consistent on property rights.
By AK Constitution, the mineral rights of AK belong to the people of AK. When AK negotiates an extraction tax on the minerals, and distributes the proceeds to the owners of the minerals, that is in accordance with the AK Constitution, and is in accordance with Republican and conservative principles.
When fake conservatives insist that certain entities should be allowed to steal the mineral rights of the AK people, and not pay the rightful owners anything, they are displaying the traits of the commie Democrats.
Like I said Palin supports RINOs and democrats over conservatives. The female version of Karl Rove. If that rubs you wrong that’s your problem. You’re not a conservative. Conservatives don’t raise taxes and that is also what Palin did in Alaska. RINOs raise taxes.
