First, I didn't think Gilbert could win. But, next most predictable - if she did, the liberal left would cry foul - somehow. They found a way.

OMG!!! How will they try to steal this election without chads?
I am so happy about this. Go Melissa!

I wonder if the Florida Supreme Court is available to oversee the recount.

I think we are seeing the wave of the future in politics. Conservative wins election, liberal cries foul, is eventually lampooned by everybody in the country, and slinks away ruined. Witness Algore and Freddy Ferrer in NYC. I can live with that.
To: Ron C.
Looks like they got only about a 25% "turnout" for the election.

Nearly 24,000 ballots sent to SAG members in New York failed to include the signature line, which critics said could allow their validity to be challenged. I would think that these votes would have favored Rhoda anyway. This is Miami-Dade all over again.

This win for Gilbert is huge considering all the money Harper spent and all the friends she had flacking for her in the trades. But Harper refused to debate Gilbert and resorted to really dirty smears and lies against her.
This is so great!!!
CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT GILBERT!!!14 posted on

Gee, do you think that the signature lines were maybe, like, left off on purpose for just such a controversy? Do you tink we would have heard about this big problem if it weren't for the fact that the chosen candidate LOST? I wonder if the person responsible for theis "mistake" is a Leftist or a normal person???
To: Ron C.
I'm surprised Harper did so well. The lady has a serious 'tude. Maybe not Streisand-esque in terms of galactic-sized ego, but gettin' there, especially considering her comparatively minor talents.
To: Ron C.
Wow! Congrats to Melissa. Beauty, brains and so much poise and class!
BTW, Melissa was adopted when she was only 1 day old....

An actor Jerry Doyle, recently a castmember on Babylon 5, ran as a Republican for the 24th U. S. House District (which has parts of LA and Ventura counties) against Brad Sherman (ACU=7 lifetime), but Doyle only got 30% of the vote.
Melissa and her husband Bruce both endorsed him-- a courageous stand in the middle of LA-LA land.
Doyle's views:
- Gun owners must be allowed to keep their guns. This is a promise we made at the founding of our country that we cannot break. This does not mean people need weapons that spit out hundreds of rounds a minute, but it does mean they should be allowed to keep their hunting rifles and prize collectibles that millions of Americans have. When some politicians point to terrible crimes made with guns, we must remember those people were irresponsible gun owners. We need to focus on the individual, not the gun when dealing with such problems.
- It is simply unjust that the average family today gives nearly half of what it earns to the government. I will push legislation for responsibly lowering taxes across the board, allowing you the economic freedom to keep and invest more of what you earn. Brad Sherman likes taxes so much, he once wanted to impose a special tax on cartoonists.
Our economy has gone through a tremendous boom, prompting one to wonder how much stronger and lasting it would have been if our taxes were lower. While continuing to pay down the national debt, I will make sure surplus money is returned to the tax-payers.
- I believe in government closer to the people. As your Congressman, I will continue to fight to break the LAUSD into smaller units, thereby creating more administrative accountability and parental choice. While Brad Sherman has voted to create more federal dictates, I will bring decision making back to the communities, allowing for more local flexibility with federal funds, such as vouchers, and fewer federal mandates. I will also demand that the best teachers receive the best pay.
Additionally, I will help working families by making income set aside for education tax-free. This frightens Brad Sherman, for it takes away his control of your money.

I believe it was Napoleon who said that history repeats, the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.

Valerer Harpie.........er.........Valerie Harper is a washed-up has-been. She just needs a hobbie, that's all.
To: Ron C.
This is good news. I was rooting for Gilbert.
Her hubby is a pro-gun Conservative, Bruce Boxleitner. I have seen him at some Conservative events in LA.

This is good because Valerie Harper is an Extreme Liberal.
To: Ron C.
I thought she came from a very liberal background. Isn't she the adopted older sister of Sarah Gilbert, former member of the "Roseanne" cast?
