The purpose of this thread is to post quotes people have made about senate races so that people can call them out on it after the Election, I'll start:


The most Kean could get at all would be 50-51% if he won. But this isnt gonna happen so whatever.

I think we're going to send a solid message - No to BGEhrlich.

Well this is for the governors office. But still.

who do you *THINK* will win?  not who you want to win.  what is your official prediction.

kerry healey is obviously going to win.

LOL. DWTL repeated this same prediction. The new SUSA poll has Patrick with a 40-point lead over Healey. I know a couple people who are going to be dissappointed come November 8th.

Healey won't win unless the Democratic nominee screws up.

I'm predicting a Patrick win, but really all 3 could plausibly win.

young harry, the democrats dont have to screw up.  all three ARE screw ups.

really pathetic candidates actually.

healey is going to win harry.  at least a 2-3 point victory.

Pennsylvania
Rick Santorum is just too known for coming back, and Bob Casey is just too known as an awful candidate.  This was an oppurtunity for the Dems, and Allison Schwartz probably would have one, but I just think Casey is not a good candidate.  If he wins, he would join Ben Nelson also, but I just don't see it happening.
Final Prediction: Santorum by 2

correct.  if allen ever was in any danger you would have seen a bigger name in the race instead of some insurance salesman named webb.

On Katherine Harris:

I think she actually has a decent chance of winning. She has a lot of backing by the farmers being that her father was a BIG time agriculture man. If she gets the farmers and religious folks behind her then her chances will increase greatly.

If she develops a get out the vote effort near the caliber of Bush's in 2004, she can defintely win.

Well dumbs, read the date. That's before Jeb and the Republicans threw her under the bus. If they had backed her from the beginning she'd be sitting pretty good right now.

But can I expect facts from liberals? LOL no.

Its not a very accurate thing to quote something from 7 months ago without including anything in the middle. It's very misleading to say the least, but not unexpected from the leftwingers here.

How on Earth are Jeb and the Republicans respoinsible for her current situation? That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Harris's problems are all of her own making. If they had backed her from the beginning it would not have made one lick of difference b/c she still would have said all the truly idiotic and embarassing things she has said, still been under investigation for her realstionship to the crooked defense contractor, and still would have suffered a high staff turnover rate b/c of no one can stand to work with her (she is curently on her fourth campaign manager).

Suggesting that she would be "sitting pretty" right now if Jeb had backed her early is truly asinine. But I guess we can't expect an honest critique of the race from a rabid partisan neocon wingnut like yourself.

No, the race would have been a bit more competitive. I'm not claiming that she would have swept Nelson out of office but it's pretty obvious that if the Jeb hadn't publicly said "you can't win" and backed her she would be doing much better in the polls. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

Ummmm......NO, it wouldn't have. And you have no evidence to suggest otherwise besides your own wishes. She was down big before Jeb said she couldn't win, and she was still down big after. Agian, her problems are all her own. Period.

Go read that other thread you are trying to "debate" me in. Harris was within 9% back in February. If Jeb had thrown himself completely behind her I have no doubts that she'd be within 15-20 of Nelson.

He was never going to lose to Brown, Hackett at a long shot and had Ryan or Strickland been the nominee DeWine could very well have been in deep trouble but against Brown? No chance and there never was.

A solid moderate, if uninspiring, incumbent senator will not lose to a partisan radical congressman expect in a very good year for that challenger’s party and consequently DeWine won’t lose and was never going to against a candidate like Brown.

Laying some more ground rules for the thread:

1.) Don't quote anyone further back than a month or so (States is right that the FL Senate race looked much competitive in FEBRUARY!)

2.) Don't debate the quote, just post it, debate somewhere else
