Put 'em here when you hear 'em :pop:

Know who doesn't like Hitler? Hitler.

[landrun]

Polls have closed here in Georgia.

I can tell you this, if Sanford Bishop loses in the second district of Georgia, then this will be a blood bath for the Republicans. Bishop, a black Democrat, has been untouchable for 20 years. His district has a large black population and he normally wins with well over 60% of the vote. I never thought I'd ever see him lose, but he's in trouble tonight. This could be very telling.

:pop:

[SouthCarolinaSooner]

Jim Demint (R) defends Senate seat against Alvin "what the ****" Greene (D) in SC. Probably 98%ish to 2%

[royalfan5]

Is Karl Rove wearing a pink tie, or is the color off on my tv.

[Blue]

Turn it to CNN. Bunch a morans w/ computers.

[Blue]

Very cool interactive uptodate map.

http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/results/senate

Looks like Moran is doing well in Kansas. :D

[soonerscuba]

Turn it to CNN.Unless the dude from the Black Eyed Peas is coming to me like Princess ****in' Leia I'm not interested.

[MR2-Sooner86]

Well, Fallin is on her way to winning and last I saw all the state questions passed except 744 and 754.

[Blue]

That went right over my head

edit: ahh holograms...nm

[SunnySooner]

Rubio has been declared winner here in FL, defeating the "independant" Charlie Crist, and Rick Scott, the 'pub, is winning for Governor.

[Blue]

Harry Reid seems to be a little genital wart that won't go away.

[Whet]

Fallin has won!

Snyder won Michigan!

[Scott D]

interesting, from what I'm seeing locally John Conyers is actually behind, and John Dingell is barely winning his race.

[tommieharris91]

Turn it to CNN. Bunch a morans w/ computers.

Their coverage is comical. It's like 30 people not really saying all that much.

[Scott D]

and apparently the people of Delaware realized that Christine O'Donnell is crazygonuts.

[JLEW1818]

so give me before and afters.

Senate
House

estimated numbers

[Collier11]

Senate is currently 45-38 Dems with 15 left

House is 79-34 Repubs with 322 left

[Scott D]

yeah don't tell Rushy clone that I voted for a republican governor and a republican house of representative person, it would destroy his delusion that I'm a dirty lib democrat socialist.

[Collier11]

you mean you have the ability to think for yourself and vote for who you think is best for the job rather than just voting for who your party or tv tells you to vote for? :D

[Scott D]

don't forget talk radio...talk radio is important in telling you what to think :D

[landrun]

Rubio has been declared winner here in FL, defeating the "independant" Charlie Crist, and Rick Scott, the 'pub, is winning for Governor.

Crist is one sleezy dude.

Looks like Boyd may lose too.

Obamacare is causing a lot of democrats their career. I hope all the backroom deals they made were really sweet for them.

[JLEW1818]

Dear Ms Pelosi, time to head back to Frisco! Happy trails, babe!

[Collier11]

I tell you one thing, I dont keep up day to day with politics as most of it makes me sick to my stomach but whoever told Obama that it was a good idea to force feed Obamacare to teh country when the majority didnt want it, forcing it by making several sleezy backroom deals, whoever told him that was a great idea is an idiot

[JLEW1818]

Obama will pay in hell, everlasting burn.

[SoonerProphet]

nice to see rand paul in the senate, good on him.

[Collier11]

dont know if id go that far, dont think any of us know if his faith is real or not

[Cornfed]

I remember the pundits on TV saying that if he was unable to pass it his first year would be a failure.

[swardboy]

News Alert: Coburn wins....shocking.

[landrun]

Massachusetts would vote for anyone as long as they have a D by their name.

[landrun]

Allen Boyd loses in Florida.

He deserves it. His vote change on Obamacare cost him his career.

[Scott D]

did soonernate's guy lose? because that would be super.

[GottaHavePride]

yeah don't tell Rushy clone that I voted for a republican governor and a republican house of representative person, it would destroy his delusion that I'm a dirty lib democrat socialist.

See, the sad part is that here in Kansas the Republican candidates are the biggest crop of idiots I've ever seen.

I don't hate Sam Brownback because he's a Republican. I hate him because I think he'd lose on "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader".

[Collier11]

that show is pretty hard

[JLEW1818]

lol Sean Hannity

1 word to describe tonight?

"Historical "

[Tulsa_Fireman]

News Alert: Coburn wins....shocking.

BOOOOOOOO.

The Pride of Midwest City, Jim Rogers, deserved that win.

He's like the bicycle-less Paul Tay of the MWC.

[Blue]

Thuffering Thuccotash!!! Barney frank wins his 16th term! 30 freakin years. Go home dude!!

[Collier11]

Frank is a crook

[JLEW1818]

MSNBC is classic right now, its the end of the world

[Blue]

MSNBC is classic right now, its the end of the world

Good call.

[Cornfed]

That Pennsylvania Senate race is getting real interesting.

[Scott D]

Hmm, Dingell is actually losing at this point.

And hah, Michigan just voted to ban convicted felons from running for political office....I'm looking at you Kwame Kilpatrick.

[stoopified]

don't forget talk radio...talk radio is important in telling you what to think :D

I learned all about this politiks stuff and votin on South Ovaltine.

[SouthCarolinaSooner]

SC governor race in a dead heat :o 61% reporting

[yankee]

i voted...but i honestly don't care. that's sad. bad yankee.

[KC//CRIMSON]

So what's the over/under on how many tubes of lube RLIMC, Tuba, and SoonerNate went through tonight?

[Blue]

MSNBC doesn't even try to be balanced.

[Scott D]

So what's the over/under on how many tubes of lube RLIMC, Tuba, and SoonerNate went through tonight?

it's past Tuba's bedtime, RLimC has probably popped in a fresh battery in his hearing aid and has a full gallon of prune juice to run him through the night. Nate's off spanking to Allen West's incoming results.

[landrun]

That Pennsylvania Senate race is getting real interesting.

Sure is.
That and Illinois. They're the only 2 races I can see that are going in the opposite direction the polls have been pointing.

Polls said Republicans win. But Dems are currently in the lead in both.

[Blue]

Wow. Chris mathews just interviewed a Minnesota lady winner...not sure her name. When she was done he said she was in a trance and was speaking moronically.

He's losing it. They keep having repubs on and laugh and sigh in the background and dog them when they're done.

Completely unprofessional and disgusting.

[mgsooner]

Then why are you watching MSNBC? Do you get off on being disgusted?

[Scott D]

Seriously. I wouldn't watch MSNBC for any financial amount less than 8 figures.

[Blue]

Then why are you watching MSNBC? Do you get off on being disgusted?

Did you read the thread, dude?

And I like to see what the morans are watching. It helps me see how they think.

you're missing Geraldine ferraro and Sarah Palin battle royal on fox

Yes, Fox blows as well.

Palin used the word neanderthals three times.

[OUthunder]

Bye Bye Feingold, you dumb mother****er.

[JLEW1818]

any chance the pubs pull off a senate shocker?

[mgsooner]

I've watched a grand total of 2 minutes of coverage on any station this evening, and I already have this question: how many talking heads do we REALLY need at one desk?

[KC//CRIMSON]

Delaware doesn't believe in witchcraft, but is cool with masturbation.

Awesome! FTW!

[landrun]

Sure is.
That and Illinois. They're the only 2 races I can see that are going in the opposite direction the polls have been pointing.

That's more like it. Republicans have now taken the lead in both Illinois and Pennsylvania.

[landrun]

any chance the pubs pull off a senate shocker?

Slim chance. We'd have to keep Illinois and Pennsylvania then pick up Washington, Nevada and probably California.

Possible... but not likely.

[btk108]

Anybody else feel like we just put Frank Keating back in the gov's office?

[Collier11]

We would have to get 9 out of 11

[OUthunder]

Arianna Huffington is the dumbest bitch on TV.

[StoopTroup]

Those racists Republicans have just elected an Indian American woman for Gov of SC, a Hispanic woman as Gov of NM, a black man for Florida's District 22. Then there is Rubio in Florida too. They may also win with Brian Sandoval running for governor of Nevada. Of course, they also have Jindal in La. RACISTS!

[mgsooner]

You're assuming she has that hole.

That's a bingo

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Where's Lizard? must be celebrating at the McCain victory party.

[Turd_Ferguson]

[nighttrain12]

Looks like Switzer's last minute endorsement of Hairy A$$-Kiss didn't work this time. Who says Oklahoma isn't progressive. Mary Fallin beat male opponents in both the primary and general elections!

I'm gonna change my independent status back to pub and get her elected. She just has the ability to see where our Country must go to make things better for everyone.

[btk108]

I've always been a really good judge of character and can tell if a person is a creep or keeper in the first meeting. I can hear a song once and know if it will be a hit. I can see things and pretty much know if it will fly or fail.

I voted Mary Fallin into Congress, had all the faith in the world in her. Then I watched the debate and saw the woman I backed without question......had turned into a politician. She never directly answered a question, she spoke eloquently and said nothing. Gave us flowery words, said things we wanted to hear....and I realized that being in Washington taught her how to dance.

I'm actually fearful now what is going to happen in the next four years. Frank Keating comes to mind. Congressman returned to lead our state....and did nothing that Oklahomans wanted....whatever Washington asked for, Keating made it a priority. Just when we are starting to climb back up the ladder....****ING party politics screw Oklahoma. I thought we were smart enough to make up our own minds. I can't tell you how many people told me today they voted straight ticket Repub to show Obama. Thanks for throwing us in the toilet you no thinking dumbasses. I dont' want to hear any crying when this bites you in the ***

It's the BEST person for the job. Run a business, you don't hire the guy that graduated from the high school/college you did. You hire the person who can do the job and advance the company.

It's not a FREAKIN FOOTBALL game.....stop rooting for the home team and screw everything else.

Gotta love that mentality at the state level. Just look at Fallin's commercials...how many times did she mention Obama? What the hail does that have to do with what needs to be done here in Oklahoma?

"I'm gunna vote for the Republican candidate for Insurance Commissioner just so I can show Obama!!!" Yeah, you really showed him. I'm sure he was following the OK Ins Commissioner race closely.

I respect your opinion, but c'mon man. People can vote for whoever they want. The same argument could be made for Obamas cheerleading rah rah speeches and the folks who voted for style over substance in 08.

Also I admit, i have no idea about that race in Oklahoma.

That would be a first. Where is it?:D

[Collier11]

I think we should only elect in those who have had to work a minimum wage job before, those who are willing to be honest about the shady things they did in the past, those who will agree to give up their position if they are ever caught in a campaign lie

[Collier11]

That would be a first. Where is it?:D

How Americans get caught up in all the BS and dont actually look at the reality, I mean Cmon, what the hell has Obama ever accomplished in his entire life that would make him a good Prez, so what do we do, we elect him Prez.

After hearing Palins speech when she accepted the candidacy for VP I was pumped, she was fudging awesome, she read great from a teleprompter, got me good and fired up. Bulldogs and cheerleaders and all that sh*t.

Well, once I heard her speak from her knowledge and accomplishments, I was thinking WTF was I thinking?

He mentally stimulated their minds. He played on their self aggrandized pseudo-intellectualism. He played the race card and they felt they would lose their imagined moral high ground if they didn't vote this black man into office. he was going to do all the things they sit around at their cocktail parties and "talk" about doing. All thats as good as daily BJ's to those folks.

Turns out he was just a fart in the wind. Pretty insignificant. I don't celebrate that bc this country needs to get back on track. I don't see repubs or dems doing it.

Dude, you're an idiot. Seriously, you're just talking out of your ace........I can't recall him playing the race card. If you're against the fact that record numbers of African Americans voted, that's you're issue. I have no problem with Obama.

Lol. I was talking out of my ***, but I'll be damned if some of it wasn't true.

I have no issue with blacks voting and the problem i have with Obama is his propensity for Socialism and his glaring inexperience. Other than that he seems like a good dude. He'd make a good community organizer.

98% reporting now and it is 50/50.

Bishop still alive and kicking here... :(

James Lankford is my neighbor... Never knocked on my door to ask for my vote and he thought it was a given because he has an R besides his name and that I'm a registered Pub.

Just for that, I voted for the Independent.

Moral of the story...I don't care if you have a D or an R besides your name, or that you're my ****ing neighbor... get out and talk to people and tell them what you stand for. Never take anything for granted.

Yep, I'm a redneck and damn proud of it. I'll continue to stick to my guns and religion, while having secks with the ladies.

Again, thanks for ****ing up the country wiseguy.

ya blame the dems because w got us into 2 wars and laid the groundwork for the collapse of the financial system. i still dont get where you ****in ******nozzles get off blaming obama for reacting (with republican consent and support i might add) to what was left over from the previous 8 years of the most mismanaged presidency of the last hundred years.

so **** off, tool.

[reflector]

It looks like Harry Reid will win.

[Crucifax Autumn]

It looks like Harry Reid will win.

Like I said all along. Crazy and incompetent is WAY worse than just incompetent. They could have ran a trained monkey and beat Reid...Angle? No such luck.

It looks like Harry Reid will win.

That was the one dude I was hoping would go away.

She is out there. Pretty extreme. Not a surprise she couldn't beat Reid.

It's official: the tea party cost the Republicans the Senate.

[Blue]

Everybody should read Colliers "What will Obama do?" thread. thats where this party is headed.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Yep...Both Nevada and Delaware would have been pub wins if the pubs had picked a mainstream candidate instead of nutjobs.

[Soonerus]

I wish I understood politics...

[Sooner Eclipse]

It's official: the tea party cost the Republicans the Senate.

No problem. The people have the restraining order on Obama in the form of the house. Having Reid still there gives a focal point for their anger for the next 2 years. Also now have the ability to convene house investigations for all the back room criminal activities that have occurred during the heath care ****ing.

[mgsooner]

It's just incredible that Reid won. I think they could have run Carrot Top and beaten Reid.

[Crucifax Autumn]

So the focal point will be a guy who is basically powerless and not up for election for 6 years? Seems like a shatty strategy compared to actually doing something.

[Crucifax Autumn]

It's just incredible that Reid won. I think they could have run Carrot Top and beaten Reid.

Carrot Top is smarter than Angle though.

[landrun]

Carrot Top is smarter than Angle though.

Smarter than Reid too.

[Sooner Eclipse]

So the focal point will be a guy who is basically powerless and not up for election for 6 years? Seems like a shatty strategy compared to actually doing something.

If they do this right he will only be relevant for the next 2 years. Either he and Obama come down off their socialist high horse or this wave continues. Dems retaining a senate that won't bend will become a punching bag for the next 2 years.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Meg Whitman won't concede in the Calif governor's race. She's going to send her new maid out to keep the crowd pumped while more results come in.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Well Jaun, considering that the folks in California just proved how stupid they really are in some districts by re-electing Pelosi and Maxine Waters, that doesn't surprise me one bit.

Of course, Pelosi could murder someone in broad daylight and still win re-election in her district.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Carly up giving her speech. She ain't conceding.

Said she and her husband are going back upstairs and crunch data cause it's going to be a long night.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Boxer is a mediocre senator but she is one of the best cutthroat campaigners I've ever seen.

Are you ****ing serious? Harry Reid, a man that never got above 45% in ANY POLLS suddenly gets 52%?


I'm a political junkie y'all. He was at 49% for 6 months.

Fraud my azz. Angle made a BUNCH of serious errors in the last few weeks on top of being an idiot in the first place. If she'd never ran an ad or made a speech she woulda won by double digits.

[SoonerNate]

This is Bull****!

Come on. So suddenly 4 months of polling suddenly changes eh?

I thought I lived in a nation that this didn't happen!!!!

[SoonerNate]

Unbelievable.

Don't cross a Democrat in an election that matters.

Honestly. This is America.

[Crucifax Autumn]

As for those polls, just remember that young people, black people, and hispanic people tend to not have home phones or want to talk to idiot pollsters when they do.

if there's a sizable undecided, then it's not that surprising for 45% to turn into 52% in the actual election.

[SoonerNate]

Guys... I don't care which side does this, this is bull****.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Does what? Do you have some evidence of election fraud or have you turned into a Florida Jew?

[SoonerNate]

if there's a sizable undecided, then it's not that surprising for 45% to turn into 52% in the actual election.

And then there's the gullible isn't there?

If this keeps up it will happen to someone you like too in the future. Unexcuseable.

Who cares, right? As long as your guy wins?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Nate...you're seriously cruising for a baning from the mods if you keep up this rant. Tone it down bro.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Maybe Angle shoulda did what Reid was with get out the vote efforts instead of telling Mexicans they look Asian.

[SoonerNate]

I'm a political junkie. I follow this **** like idiots follow recruiting.

He's never, in any poll gone over 46% (his best) and suddenly he ends up with 52%.

Say what you will, I hope you can sleep at night. It's ridiculous.

[SoonerNate]

Nate...you're seriously cruising for a baning from the mods if you keep up this rant. Tone it down bro.

LOL. AND WHY IS THAT?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Crux, Reid's victory did surprise me a bit considering how Obama routinely went out of his way to SLAM Vegas in his speeches about corporate spending...then he has the stones to go there multiple times to rally for Reid. But that goes to show you that folks will pick the corrupt moron over the 100% unrefined moron.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Say what you will, I hope you can sleep at night. It's ridiculous.

Dude...I can sleep at night...and I have been sleeping at night ever since Obama's electon even though I wasn't happy with the result. Wanna know why? Two reasons: 1. I get to wake up each morning, put on a uniform, and defend your right to bitch and complain. 2. I know that the mistake can be fixed in a few more years.

Reid brings a lot of money to this state and most everyone here was on his side with City Center while Angle said she woulda done nothing to save the jobs. You can't win like that. And pubs were out voting or they wouldn't have won the governor's race. Angle was just too stupid and too extreme.

[Crucifax Autumn]

**** 'em all.

[sooner59]

You can't accurately predict a result based on predictions before the vote comes in. Angle was way too aggressive in her tactics. The people who are sure to vote against her, like Cru said, are not likely to show up in early poll predictions. Like they said, Reid already had a foot out the door until she started opening her mouth. All she had to do was stay quiet and win. I don't even follow politics that closely and I knew she was asking to lose in Nevada.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Really Dude? ACORN? All I've seen is Reid's people out trying to get all Angle's "Asians" out to vote.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Well, since ACORN is now in CH 7 bankruptcy...thank God...I don't think we have to worry about those nutjobs anymore.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Seems to me this would be a good time to toss out all this partisan stupidity and actually get something done to improve the economy. Everyone jumping up and down screaming in celebration is the same mistake Obama's crowd made and now this new crop wants to up the stupid ante.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Until there's a viable third party, you know damn well that will never happen Crux.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Probably true when I'm sitting back remembering how civil the Clinton Impeachment was compared to everyday politics now.

More proof that people are stupid and people in power are more stupid.

[sooner59]

This country will come to an end before the Dem and GOP are overtaken by a third party.

Nate, I forget more about politics while I'm on the pot then you could hope to know in a whole ****ing lifetime of "following this ****."

You don't even know enough about politics in your own damned state if you make an idiotic statement like this.

Reid's Senate campaign shook out almost EXACTLY like Tom Coburn's first Senate run against Carson. EVERY poll showed Coburn and Carson virtually tied. What the polls failed to detect were the vastly superior ground operation of both the Coburn and Reid campaigns. Coburn ended up shellacking Carson to a degree the polls never indicated because Coburn had a massive well trained and highly motivated field operation with an excellent GOTV effort. Reid has spent decades fine tuning and perfecting his field operations and GOTV efforts and that's what made the difference.

I hate to sound like an elitist ******* with all of this, but I am just so sick and damned tired of people speaking with such authority on subjects they really know very little about. I don't know a damned thing about physics, but you don't see me arguing with Ike over nuclear fission. Yet everyone thinks they're an expert on complex and intricate political operations. :eyeroll:

[SicEmBaylor]

So SicEm, who do you think is the pubz'z best bet for taking out Obama in two years? I still can't find anyone.

Nobody. Absolutely nobody. I still think Obama wins in 2012.

HOWEVER, I have high hopes for 2016 or 2020. I think Rubio or Rand Paul would make a phenomenal candidate after some seasoning in the Senate.

There are a lot of really great young up and coming leaders within the Republican Party, and for the first time in a long time I have some hope for the future of conservatism within the Party.

But for 2012, I really don't see anyone. Maybe Mitch Daniels, the Governor of Indiana. Homey mentioned Christie in Jersey, but Christie is a bit of a hack. I absolutely would not want to see Palin, Huckabee, Barbour, or especially Perry as the nominee.

What about Demitt?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Part of me thinks Obama is gonna keep playing the blame game and it will cost him in 2012 if the pubs can put a team together with more than half a brain and some common sense. The only one I think that MIGHT have a prayer would be Bobby Jindal.

[SicEmBaylor]

What about Demitt?

At the moment, there are only 3 Senators in the United States Senate worth serving in the office they hold. Tom Coburn, Jim DeMint, and Jeff Sessions.

I adore Jim DeMint, but I don't think he has any interest in running for President. As great as I think he is, I have a hard time seeing him in a Presidential type role. I'd love to be wrong though. If he decided to make a run and started putting together a strong campaign team then I'd be one of the first to jump on his bandwagon.

[sooner59]

Jindal won't win the primary. As wrong as it is, his name and Indian-American status will be his downfall.....regardless of his approval rating, Ivy-league schooling, or Roman-Catholic background. If I am wrong about this, I would greatly applause the Republican party.

[SicEmBaylor]

Jindal is another possibility. Jindal slipped my mind earlier when I was thinking of potential candidates, but you're absolutely right.

The only question about Jindal is the same question about every potential GOP nominee, can he put together a national base of support? Jindal may have the best chance of doing just that. I mean, if a Republican of Indian heritage can win a statewide election in Louisiana of all places then surely he has the kind of broad base of appeal needed to put together a national campaign.

[delhalew]

You have to lack testicles to vote against a person with no brains? People here were ready to vote Reid out big until Angle got the republican nomination.

I was speaking about Angle being the only candidate with the guts to speak publicly about repealing useless, bloated bureaucracies. I don't know about what things she said that were perceived as stupid. I'm sure that, not being a polished gov teet monkey, she seemed out of place.
That said, if i lived in Nevada, I would voted for a feces smeared spider monkey before letting Reid continue his song and dance.
That's just me though. Apparently Nevada thinks he's swell.

[SicEmBaylor]

Jindal won't win the primary. As wrong as it is, his name and Indian-American status will be his downfall.....regardless of his approval rating, Ivy-league schooling, or Roman-Catholic background. If I am wrong about this, I would greatly applause the Republican party.

I absolutely disagree. Republicans of alternative heritage are starting to win all over the country. Black Republicans, women Republicans, even Nikki Haley in South Carolina is of Indian heritage and won...in South Carolina!

Everything about Jindal, other than being Catholic, would normally be a huge liability in Louisiana but the guy won and is well liked.

Racial and background issues are far far less important than they used to be in the Republican Party and in fact, they're becoming an asset as the party tries to build up candidates that have appeal beyond the normal white base.

[delhalew]

I think Jindal has potential. Christie is a badass, but I wonder if todays America could bring themselves to vote for an unattractive fat guy. That's how much faith I have in people.

[SicEmBaylor]

One of the most remarkable things about this election has been the number of young conservatives with backgrounds well out of what would normally be described as a typical Republican background. We have blacks, indian-Americans, hispanics, dozens of women, etc.

In the past, that always scared me because they were typically fairly wishy-washy "conservatives" that I had absolutely no use for. But this younger crop is made of much much better stuff. We're talking true fiscal conservatives with a strong belief in a limited-constitutional role for the Federal government and a greater respect for state power. This is all fantastic news, and as critical as I've been of the Republican Party for the last several years...I now have some hope.

If this younger generation of Republican leaders can kick the establishment Country Club/Wall Street/John McCain wing of the party to the curb then the party is going to have a lot of success over the next decade.

In fact, even though they're more conservative, I think they have a better chance of finding common ground with Democrats on some issues. I was amazed that CNN properly analyzed this angle earlier tonight, but this younger group of conservatives is far far less beholden to financial special interest groups, the banks, wall street, etc. This should give them a lot more flexibility in working with Democrats on some financial issues.

There are a lot of positive possibilities here.

I couldn't possibly agree more. I may as well resign myself to the idea that "crazy" people don't win.
So I guess I'm stuck with a pretty good group of young pubs.

Hey I applaud that. POTUS is an entirely different thing, though. I would venture to say even Dems who voted for Obama (and now think about voting Rep.) would balk at Jindal b/c of the Indian background. Again, I want to say that I disagree with this tactic. I want the best guy for the job, regardless of race, religion, etc. I am not saying Jindal wouldn't be the best guy for the job. I just don't believe he would win. And the reasons (real reasons, not what they say publicly) would start with the Indian background and trail from there. I having absolutely nothing against him, but Jindal will "likely" face the "is he really Christian?" questions as well as "can we really trust him?" questions. Its not right, but for POTUS, is comes up every time.

Hey, if he gets on teh national ballot, props. Props to him and the entire party. And he would have a significant chance to win if he brings his A game.

I mean, if a Republican of Indian heritage can win a statewide election in Louisiana of all places then surely he has the kind of broad base of appeal needed to put together a national campaign.

Jindal's been out all over the country for the last 3 years building a coalition really under the radar. It's the same way he won the governor's race here. After he lost to Blanco in 03, he never stopped criss-crossing the state to build a coalition for his run in 07.

The kicker for Jindal is the crazy Louisiana election cycle. He'll be running for re-election next year when he should be building for his presidential run if he his going to run in 2012. I look for him to run in 16 rather than 12. He definitely seems to have national aspirations. He's done everything he can to avoid raising taxes despite all the budget issues, much to the chagrin of my wife who works for LSU, which has been facing the axe.

[C&CDean]

So, what I've learned from this thread is that a caucasian male will never hold the office of POTUS again and that there's a whole lot of people with faux indignation and outrage over some of the successful candidates.

Get over it people. Ain't nothing gonna change other than them taking the urinal out of the Governor's mansion and replacing it with a bidet.

And those worried about Fallin being another Keating? I hope so. Hell, he got my car tags down to a max of $95 and also got the stupid vehicle inspection law out of there. At least that's something. I will give Brad Henry credit though. He locked himself up for the past however many years it's been since he got elected in a closet and didn't do dick. Sometimes that's best.
