One day I hear from the news media the Wisc. Gov. race is tied. Bh arrives home and the next thing I hear from the news media is that Scott Walker leads by 7. I know who to blame.
You’d be care free too if your phone worked with your table worked with your laptop worked with your desktop pc without having to call IT two or three times a week.
I meant tablet, but I suppose there’s such a thing as a table pc too –I mean, I see ’em on TV and in the movies all the time. And some of them are even holographic!
What we see when we travel along the western edge of the state and the iron-belt, the support for Burke simply isn’t there. The signs aren’t there along the road, there’s no enthusiasm. Washington ct and Waukesha seem to be primed as they always are though.
Burke will not win. She’ll underperform by at least two to three points from the expectation of losing by 5.
Go up state. She is a loser. She needs to dominate these counties by signage and she’s barely tied. She’s generated nothing west and upstate.
With all these predictions of possibly ‘historic’ GOP wins floating about, I can’t help but doubt ’em. And even if the old elephaunt does rack up a few extra seats in Congress, or tip the Senate by a bare margin? Will they then any difference make?
But I do admit to a slight grin when I envision Harry Reid dragging his ungainly carcass and a cardboard box full of paper lips and scotch tape down a long hall to a much smaller office. That would be pay-per-view-worthy.
I think that your thought about the essential meaninglessness of GOP wins is worthy of a post, serr8d. That the GOP is not a worthwhile political party.
You have my email, or Darleen’s, or Jeff’s. Write it up. I’ll post it.
Also take into account that Obama won’t have even the prospect of hurting Democratic electoral prospects to hold him in check after November.
I fully expect him to prompt multiple constitutional crises. Because it’s not like the GOP would ever impeach the first “black-black president.”
And then there’s the fact that Obama care in all it’s unholy horror fully manifests next year.
A smart political party would have run against that unholy horror in order to lay the groundwork for repealing it. Instead we’ll have to hammer out a rube-goldberg of a jury-rigged, patched over work around capable of garnering the bi-partisan support necessary to override an expected presidential veto.
So you know, business as usual. Only the GOP insiders get the big offices.
Rather than the first black black President I’d been informed we had here the first female black President, making a distinct contrast to the black predecessor, Clinton. Could be just a case of mistaken identity though. Maybe.
Still, chances are the Democrats find a way to hold true to form and end up lynching the poor bastard.
By the way, the media blitz is on here in MN, and I’ve heard some defamatory ads about Walker on the radio, too.
One of my favorites is the one about a Republican who comes from money, never had to really work, etc. It’s funny because our Democrat governor comes from old money (Dayton) and never had to work either and was considered to be the worst Senator serving when he was in DC.
So, if you are old money and a Democrat, all is well. Otherwise you probably eat babies taken from poor people.
Cranky, you’re in MN? The state that sent the bargain-counter commie Wellstone to Washington, the state of Jesse the Whackjob, the state that manufactured enough votes to resurrect Al Franken’s comedy career? My condolences.
I can’t rub it in too much. I’m in ND, and for decades, we kept sending the most useless troika of libs back to Washington to keep on suckling at the public teat.
Jesse wasn’t obviously insane when he was governor.
There is no excuse for Al Franken though. All you need to do is make up a bunch of fake ballots and discover them in the trunk of a car and you can elect almost anyone.
From John Fund’s column of 30 October [emphasis mine]:
Could non-citizen voting be a problem in next week’s elections, and perhaps even swing some very close elections?
A new study by two Old Dominion University professors, based on survey data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, indicated that 6.4 percent of all non-citizens voted illegally in the 2008 presidential election, and 2.2 percent in the 2010 midterms. Given that 80 percent of non-citizens lean Democratic, they cite Al Franken ’s 312-vote win in the 2008 Minnesota U.S. Senate race as one likely tipped by non-citizen voting. As a senator, Franken cast the 60th vote needed to make Obamacare law.
This is the comment where I double down before the election.
This is where you should all quote me if I’m wrong.
He’d better win, or I’ve wasted a lot of money.
Well, I have wasted a lot of money — but I’d rather not find that the money I’ve given him was wasted.

i say 10 timid
Walker by 7?
The fat Republican governor of NJ won’t like that.
“the fat”
We merely add an “r” to portray how many fucks we give:
The Fart
You can’t talk that way about the next Republican nominee to lose to an empty chair!
Hey, it ain’t for nuttin’ I cuts the cheese.
Y’all need to watch what you say about Governor Hindenburg.
Why? I don’t plan to be underneath him when he crashes and burns.
OT, for cranky-d: Tim Cook, Apple CEO, announced he’s gay. All this time I thought it was just the phones.
You’d be care free too if your phone worked with your table worked with your laptop worked with your desktop pc without having to call IT two or three times a week.
The watch thing is kinda queer though.

At least we can count on Apple to be positioned behind every advance in 3d porn.

The unions won’t like that at all.

Clips. Lips belong to Nancy Pelosi, to be found somewhere near Harry’s waistline.

Jeff couldn’t speak more highly of you. Let’s get a post up.

That one made me laugh. I needed that.

Babies taken from rich people have too many preservatives.

Minnesota actively encourages voter fraud with same day registration.

mr. walker minding his knitting by 10
the wisc polls don’t show all the peeps no longer paying union dues. money talks bs walks

It seems to me that Governor Walker is one of the few Republicans actually worth voting for in this Election.
My contributions to Walker 2014 have been with an eye toward a possible Walker 2016.
Al Franken is entirely the result of the fact that Norm Coleman was a eunuch under the thumb of pussies.
I couldn’t have put it more accurately and eloquently, Ernst.
>U.S. Senate race as one likely tipped by non-citizen voting<
non citizens vs felons what's the difference?
[…] As to what will happen if the GOP wins control of the Senate, methinks Ernst Scheiber is spot-on: […]
