Read the article. I bet you didn't even do that, did you? You just popped out that response like a good little soldier!

Here's the thing ...

There are about 6k absentee ballots that were returned.

The voter's registration in this district is weighted in favor of the Republicans by 70k registrants.

How do you suppose the Republican can pick up 70k votes with only 6k outstanding? Even if they would allow all 10k absentee ballots to be counted, he can't do it!

No one has said this race is over, the Republican might actually win in the end - though recent results indicate he might easily loose. Or he might cause endless havoc as Coleman is doing in Minnesota. Cornyn will have his WW IV!

But, you're missing the point. The Republicans have a 70k advantage in this district's registrations and even if the Republican wins, there are a lot of registered Republicans who - with unsually heavy voting for a special election - didn't vote Republican!

Michael Steele made this a referendum on his leadership and on Obama's administration. And, no matter what, the Republicans are loosing even if they win this one seat.

That's frickin' embarrassing!

LOL!!!!

Exactly! The Republicans outnumber the Democrats by huuuuuge margins in this district.

They have a 70,000 registered voter advantage over the Democrats.

And the Democrat is still ahead! LOL!!!

No matter what the Republicans will have lost by ... what .. at least 64,000 voters who didn't pull the lever for a Republican? You do the math; 70,000 minus (at best) 6,000 = Holy Shit! They should be walking away with this election!

And the Democrat is still ahead!!!!

You can keep repeating the Republican might win. I never denied that, there's always a chance. But the Republicans haven't won in this district in years now, not since George's popularity started caving in and they started getting themself indicted for puttzing aorund with things they shouldn't.

And they have 70,000 more registered Republicans than the Democrats have registered voters!

And they can't get closer than a 25 vote advantage for the Democrat?!!! Yowsers!

And this was Steele's test of leadership? This was the start of the Republican come back?

Man! That's gotta be frickin' embarrassing!

And the Lirpa budget plan on top of that?

Geeeeeez!

Giggle?!

I'm ROTFLMAO!

Why don't you hold on until the seat is awarded to the winner. The way Republicans do this now, we should know after about two years of court battles.

And if the Republicans win the seat, that will accomplish ... what? The Republicans are still loosing votes faster than Custer lost men and the Republicans will still be neutered rats in the House.

Say, did you see Franken won his court case today? That's not good news for Coleman! Strange isn't it how Coleman insisted Franken drop his legal challenges when it looked like Coleman was ahead and it wasn't even Al's choice to make. But now Coleman just won't let go and is depriving the people of Minnesota of their rightful representation. Is that what Republicans stand for now? That's quite a change from 2000 when they couldn't wait to shut down the state wide recount.

Now Cornyn only has to get this to Federal Court to make sure Al does not have his seat for another six months or better - that would give the Dems their filibuster proof majority on most votes you know.

So it's fight, fight, fight until you can fight no more no matter what benefits the people.

Gosh! You must be so proud of how your party goes about politics.

Sen. John Cornyn, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has said that such a legal challenge could take

Because the Constitution intends for the people to be represented.

Oh! That's right, you don't believe in the actual Constitution, just the version Michael Savage reads to you until you fall asleep.

Here - here's the real one ...

http://www.house.gov/house/Constitution/Constitution.html

Quote:
Article. I. Section. 3.
Clause 1: The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, (See Note 3) for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote. (Note 3: This Clause has been affected by Clause 1 of amendment XVII. )

Quote:
AMENDMENT XVII
Passed by Congress May 13, 1912. Ratified April 8, 1913.

Note: Article I, section 3, of the Constitution was modified by the 17th amendment.

The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.

70,000 minus 12 = 69,988 registered "R" voters you don't have.

Your math and your thinking suck!

Despite heavy turn out for a special election, special elections tend to attract only the most fervent of the base for both parties. Figure out how many voters didn't turn out at all. That's a lot of R's who didn't bother to show up no matter what figures you use.

Do the math, then you'll have a better idea of which O voters have already turned their back on the Dems and how many haven't voted for an R in years. Until you can show those numbers the only other figure that matters is the 69,988 registered "R" voters that have given up on R's.

Where will we be in three years? That's an easy one! Back in the booth voting for a second term.

Since that idea of your's went nowhere, would you like to address the referendum on Steele's leadership this election was supposed to represent? This was supposed to demonstrate his effectiveness as Chairman of the RNC.

Let's see ...

Twelve votes, huh?

Minus 69,988, huh?

OOOH! OUCH!

That's got to be embarrassing!

OK, that didn't work out either. A shame really. OOOOOPS!Sorry, I forgot you don't know that word.

So let's move on to more fertile ground and address the election as a beginning of the RNC's comeback.

Twelve votes, huh?

Minus the 70,000 advantage.

Minus the registered R's that haven't shown up in years.

That leaves us with .... let's see ...

OOOH! OUCH! DOUBLE OOOH AND OUCH AND ANOTHER OOOOOOOOH!!!

That's got to be embarrassing II!

LOL!!!

what a bunch of looosers

Quote:
that has just changed...the REAL change, the one that matters is not how folk register but how they vote and that is a loser for Obama.

Oh! I didn't see the news. When did they stop counting votes? When the R was ahead?

So O hasn't lost? Well, that is good news, eh?

Quote:
If the margin in those votes is several hundred after the count, the lawyers will huddle and try to come up with plan B.

It's called an "automatic recount". I know your party isn't familiar with this concept and tries to shut them down all the time but that's what happens in virtually every state when the margins fall beneath a certain %.

Don't tell me you're not keeping up with Minnesota and Franken beating Coleman? I would have thought a partisan such as you would be praying to Karl Rove each night for spiritual guidance in this matter.

So what about that Steele "thing"?

Geez, that's embarrassing!

Really embarrassing!

And that whole comeback thing and then it has to go on and on and on and it's not a comeback at all 'cause the R didn't really get a majority and ... well, you know why it's embarrassing II.

Or maybe you don't. You believe Cavuto, don't you? Krauthheimer? Barnes?

Yeah, well then you probably think this isn't as embarrassing as the rest of the nation does.

hehehehe

looosers

Gotcha again!

Laws!

The Constitution!

Judges!

Treaties!

International conventions!

Pay them no mind.

Gonzo says.

Gotcha!

I'm impressed, there are quite a few laws I have yet to read. Particularly the ones from Alabama that concern goats. You must be, like, one of those speed reading freaks of nature.

I did?! When?

I think you have me confused with another liberal.

Actually, I think you have a lot of things confused.

I wasn't "giggling", I was ROTFLMAO. I couldn't help it. You should try it some time, you obviously don't have much in the way of a sense of humor. And right now the R's are hilarious.

I was ROTFLMAO because you write funny stuff. Not intentionally funny I know but still - "funny" stuff.

Like saying you've read "the laws". But you haven't read "the laws". You've read "the laws" that you want to read and you've interpreted them as you want them interpreted without any assistance from anyone I assume and you've decided what they mean and what you can ignore like you do all the stuff you read.

That's not the same thing as reading "the laws".

It's not even funny for that matter.

(And I did read the arguments you tried to pass off as "case law". It wouldn't take a scholar to figure out what you tried to do would have got you laughed out of a real court. You still haven't shown me either "case" you think I should know.)

They have one?! Gee, I would have thought they would be using email by now.

Did you know most of the D's in Congress are lawyers? That's gotta count for something!
