  H R Potts Jr     Independent    3,433    1.26%
  Write Ins          185    0.07%

Damn, musta been  heavy republican precincts

Yes but when those good Kaine numbers come in that means we have some swing precincts reporting, right?  

[Keystone Phil]

CNN is reporting 64-36 Kilgore with 9% of precincts reporting.

Is CNN doing all night coverage? Must be a slow news day. Better get to my TV right now.

Who's expected to win in the Lt. Governor & Atty General races in Virginia?

I think the GOP is expected to win both rather easily.

Those are the NY Times numbers.

Actually, they are the results. No one owns the numbers, idiot. Thanks for the link with percentages (something your NY Times doesn't have, jfern), AuH2O.

I can't wait for the conservatives to spin this one.

Democrats keep Democratic Gubernatorial offices. Spin or fact?

You know what i mean.
Corzine didn't win by so and so percentage.......

If he wins by less than five points than he won't be happy. Remember that he had this locked up? Remember how it would be a landslide?

[Keystone Phil]

If a Republican won in the heart of New England, would you not consider this a very good thing?

When the GOP retained the RI Governor spot, I wasn't going crazy.

[Keystone Phil]

Bob Menendez is already sending his best wishes to Corzine. Senator Menendez, anyone? I am really starting to get sick with NJ.

I don't see anyone "going crazy".  There are a lot of Democrats who are happy to see these results, for sure, but I don't see anything abnormal in taking pleasure in a victory for one's own team.  Are we supposed to be going "ho hum, Kaine won, big deal"?

Not only did we refrain from celebration of our MA and RI Gubernatorial victories, we didn't even mention it.

[Keystone Phil]

The state of New Jersey will now be called...New Detroit.

No. We'll just start calling it Camden. Yeah, all of it will be called Camden...

Well, there were other races at the same time.

Your point? Shouldn't we have been celebrating about those "huge" wins, too?

[Keystone Phil]

I really don't see what the big deal is with being happy over this victory in the face of uncertainty.

It's not just being happy. Just wait until the blogs start going crazy, saying that this will completely destroy the GOP in 2006.

Okay... but we aren't "the blogs", so I'm not sure what your point exactly is or what you want us to do.

Uh...if you don't think that some of the people on this forum fit into that area then you are really, really foolish.

Phil, what else do you expect them to say?

You need to grow thicker skin than that.

I expected it but I'm just complaining about it.

Also, please don't lecture me about growing thicker skin with this stuff. I'm a conservative Republican in Philadelphia, Sam. I've dealt with much worse before. Thanks.

[Keystone Phil]

Phil, you truly are a survivor.  Keep up the fight!

Black power salute.

When you campaign in an area that's very difficult to win, give me a call and mock me.

I was out yesterday for a Republican in my neighbourhood.  What's your phone number?

I said very difficult to win. Work in an area of your town that is 60% of the other party.

In school today, two of the most extreme left wing teachers started bragging about the VA and NJ races. I, of course, argued back but here's the one line I had to laugh at (and then counter): "America has spoken!" said the one teacher. See what I mean? America has spoken? Two states voted for Governor and this is the end of the President and the GOP Congress? Give it up, people.

"Bush won VA by eight points!" Yeah, ok. I understand that. Kaine won by about the same margin as Warner in '01 and Bush was very, very popular back then. People need to snap the hell out of it. VA is not going to suddenly become a tossup state (unless Warner is the nominee and yes, that is still unlikely to happen).
