OFFICIAL embarassing Gubernatoral quotes thread

[Alcon]

Here is your official thread for sharing embarassing quotes and predictions for the Gubernatoral election!

Now that we hae a lull during which only NYC and Detroit are being counted, we have time to be mean!

I would like to give a "really annoying" prize to Scoonie's fake Republican thing that he broke to declare a typo in Brunswick County, Virginia, to be "Republican election fraud."

I ask all of you to take this oath:

I, ____________, do solenly affirm that should Douglas Forrester defeat Jon Corzine in the 2005 Gubernatorial election, I will agree to let NixonNow sh**t in my mouth.

I kicked things off with this one:

This is another example of SUSA going seriously wacky.

Kaine is HIGHLY unlikely to get more that 48% of the vote, and Kilgore is HIGHLY unlikely to get less than 45% of the vote.

Potts is likely to get between 2% to 5% of the vote.

Congragulations Gabu, you were able to sneak a liberal into the Virginia Governor's seat.  Its never been done before!


Oh, and did Kilgore get less than 45% of the vote (as SUSA predicted)?

SurveyUSA predicted that Kilgore would get 45%, not less than 45%, and they were within their MoE.

SurveyUSA was within their Margin of Error.  You, on the other hand, were not in your prediction of Kaine failing to hit 48%.  Everyone, polling companies included, are wrong on occasion.  You were this time, and SurveyUSA was within its MoE.  Just take the loss with grace.  We all mis-call races every once and a while, even pollsters.

EDIT:  I went to bed last night when Kaine was up only a few percentage points.  Now I find that SurveyUSA underestimated Kaine's victory margin, and you are still attempting to paint this as a bias toward the Democrats?  You are a braver man than I.

CARL, considering the polls showed that this result is less than "haywire," I'm afraid it was only haywire in context of your prediction.
