Congratulations

Palin was a net negative to the McCain campaign. She alienated many moderate Republicans and independents. She has NO future in the Republican party.

There were a handful of prominent defections because of her. After this election, I think a lot more Republicans will feel much more free to voice their opinions. She is a disaster.

I agree in part. She can never run for prez/vp again...NEVER... but they still will love her up there in Alaaaaska....if he wanted she could probably become senator.

Looks like Barletta is going to get that house seat. Congrats on that if so as I think you mentioned working on that race.

Russell-Murtha internals have it tied from the latest I heard.. That'll be intersting to see..

I also think Chris Hackett (R) is going to beat incumbent Chris Carney (D) in the 10th district too.

Sekrah,

Don't give up yet, brother. This fight is going to go well into the night since the record turnout has to be tallied up, and I have to believe there are at least as many people coming out to vote against Obama as there are for him.

Let's just play the game first before making any concession speeches. Go vote, and don't believe a damn thing the crooked exit polls tell you.

The turnout news has me feeling better than I did last night. But I still think McCain MUST win PA to have a chance here.. If he can win PA his chances go from 10% to 50-70% IMO. PA is critical! It looks like the Philly vote fraud machine is cranking up again as GOP poll watchers have been tossed to the curb in many city polling places.

This is dead wrong. McCain loses by 10+ pts with anybody else..

If he wins PA his chances go from 0% to 15%. He cannot win without PA. Period.

Think Murtha squeaks by....barely: wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't though.

Doubt Carney is going to go down, would be very surprised at this.

Do you really think so? After all that happened in the past weeks I find it hard to believe that a significant number of people will vote McCain because of Palin. On the other hand, Americans do many things I find hard to believe...

If he wins PA, you don't think this bodes well for other states that their poll numbers are probably off too? If Pennsylvania falls in his column, Ohio, Missouri, Florida should be cakewalks.

GOP Turnout would be dead without Palin.. The base can't stand McCain. We screwed up in the Primary and split our vote for Huckabee and Romney, allowing Mccain to gather the momentum to win the nomination.

GOP turnout is the only thing giving him a glimmer of hope right now. Without her he was absolutely buried. Don't believe everything you get from the American media.

OH and MO yes, but FL is a different sort of animal so I wouldn't make that assumption. IN any case it's so hypothetical because McCain isn't going to win PA IMHO.

So the Republicans nominated a man the base can't stand and put in as VP-candidate a woman whom it is hard to really take serious? Sounds like a plan. I'm not saying you are wrong, but I have to question everyone's judgement who votes for McCain only because of Palin.

And I get almost nothing from the American media, my informations come almost exclusively from German media and the internet. I also like to believe that I'm able to filter out much of the bias in a report. I guess Palin is not quite as bad as she is often portrayed, but I really fail to see what reasons she might give to vote Republican. Well, I guess it's not really my business, but I know that someone like her would have absolutely no chance here in Germany.

to the supporters of Barack Obama. I was wrong. The polls look like they are on. I was hoping people were bright enough not to put a radical marxist in the White House, but apparently I had too much faith in the American people.

Disengaged voters blame economic problems on the party in the White House because it's easier than learning the real problem.

I'm bitter obviously with alot of anxiety over what will take place of the next 4 years in this country. With his tax proposals I think a Great Depression on par with 1929 is a 100% guaranteed certainty. I think many will have buyers remorse within the first few months of his term but there's isn't much we can do about that now except to hope GOP leadership can hold onto 40-42 seats and show a spine.

I personally would rather have 60 years of either B.Clinton, Gore, Kerry, or H.Clinton than 1 year of this man, but this is the way things roll.

I'll be here tonight for my pummelling.

You've been humungously, hilariously, overwhelmingly wrong about everything so far, why stop now?:nohead:hno::lolBIG::toast::lol::think2::tongue2::finger:

Historic and scary day for this country because this will mark to move even more towards socialism. This is not good for our country. But it is now time to move on and let the cards fall where they may. Good luck America and good luck dems your gonna need it.

given time to reflect i hope you'll come to your senses. the republican party will need to get back to traditional conservative principles to reach the center of the country again. sarah palin destroyed any chance mcCain had of reaching independents.

with the exception of the hardcore republican extreme right nutjobs sarah palin was rejected by the country. your are delusional if you think she is the future of the party. i for one hope she isn't because i'd like to she the old republican party return some day. sarah palin is done - you need to get over her.

Now we're talking the same language :drink:


BTW I would bet USC over anybody if the line is right. Difference is I don't defend teams that lay an egg in a game they should win 85-90% of the time.

Dixville Notch and Hart's Landing numbers are depressing me.

1996: Dole 31, Clinton 20
2000: Bush 38, Gore 18
2004: Bush 35, Kerry 21
2008: Obama 32, McCain 16

Two red towns turning on its head for the most inexperienced, most liberal candidate in US history? I need a beer. I know it's just 48 votes, but that is pathetically ugly.

Everything that takes place over the next 4 years to this country is on your hands. When the mass layoffs begin, I hope they go for the people with Obama bumper stickers on their cars.

LOL the mass layoffs were here long before Mr Obama. Tata

 

[PokerKingJim]

It takes a Carter to get a Reagan...thats a decent default.

Every generation must learn the lessons of failed Liberal ideology.

But I'm not giving up yet...not by a long shot.

We still have to actually count the votes yet.

Some of you right wing whackos are the scum of the Earth, and you're near the top of the list - trailing only Joe Contra
