Hey, maybe that is their out. "...and since the Candidate died in the polls we find that... blah, blah, blah...."

Well, as Congressman Billybob said yesterday, political death is not the same as brain death (although neither seems to be an impediment for voting Democrat).

Yea, and they always point to California while stabbing you in the back.

They can't stand stiff competition, as this race shows. {:0)

Not only that, the Attorney General whose job it is to DEFEND the law, is actually petitioning the judges to IGNORE it (when it suits the DemoNAZI party, of course.)

And we're back to "stealing" another election. I don't see how we can win this.

It won't work this time. The people are paying attention this time.

I'm a moderate and as much as it pains me I'm voting a straight Republican ticket in the general.

Republicans may not, candidate for candidate, be any less corrupt than Democrats, but they don't put up with much of it when they see it.

I posted my comment at 318 before reading yours. We think alike.

I tend to wonder whether SCOTUS will take it up, and take it up in time. It will have great reluctance to go down this path again in a speed of light fashion for a mere senate seat. It is also not clear that there are 5 votes for an overturn, although there might be. But I think he realized that under the present facts, there is no fig leaf for NJSC to give the Dems what they want. He probably didn't realize that yesterday, because no one had briefed him, and he was just winging it. Maybe he read my posts. :)

Me too. It's the only way I know to protest all the CRAP that the Dims have pulled beginning with the Florida Fiasco. I have just had it with all of them!

As an aside, Senator-Mrs. Carnahan in Missouri has suddenly fallen very, very ill, and may need to be replaced on the Missouri ballot...the severity of her illness will be determined after doctors review the weekend polling data....an announcement is scheduled Monday......

Hmmm, do you think it possible that the Judge knows something we don't?

I don't think so. I beleive he was a Superior Court (County Court) judge in NJ.

That's why I don't understand why the Dems are even going to Court in the first place... Its just one senate seat... Is it worth it for just one seat?

Why should I bother to fight the cause for this party if all I'm ever going to get is dissed?

Don't consider yourself dissed! We need every vote - your critics are the "ideological purity" fringe.

Well, she at least won 83 percent of the North Carolina Republican Primary vote in North Carolina against three or four other candidates.

I know, I voted against her.

The democrats who happen to be alive, and who happen to be literate in any linguistic form that allows creation of letters spelling a recognizable name can vote for someone. If they want to, they should. Hard to defraud by write-in, though, and maybe we should go back to the simple expedient of making people write down their choice and cut down on the number of dead votes, dog votes, and democrat votes.

Democrats say decades of state court decisions put voters' rights above (the law)

Well, they said it.

They consider their interests above the law

I just don't understand the mentality of some on this board that moderates aren't real Republicans...

It's easy to be intransigent and asinine with the anonymity of a computer bulletin board. Plus, people of marginalized groups find that this is the only place where their loud voice can be heard. You're not so moderate as some others will have you believe.
