I think what people are objecting to more is the "Safe R" bit rather than simply predicting the Republicans will hold the governorship. Also a tad hypocritical from a guy who always yelled "We're 12 months out and lots of things can happen!" plenty of times in the past whenever it looked good for the Democrats. How many people believed the North Dakota and Indiana Senate seats were "safe R" in November 2011?
Yes, of course. I am frequently the voice of reason, warning both sides (not just Dems, BRTD) not to get cocky. You point to a perfect example with North Dakota.
That said, my "Safe R" comment was just some fun on my part. Do I believe Terry would likely lose? Absolutely. He's that much of a clown. Is it guaranteed? No.
Still waiting to hear what the guy had done except for being a professional political/Clinton hack.
