2004 Elections: Democratic Party Contenders

Ahh, yes, dyslexia: ' le virgin de Colorado'

Yes I know!!! Cant bloody believe it!!! What a ****-up.

The money gathered by the candidates is certainly a factor in deciding who will run against President Bush. However, some political junkies have undeoubtedly watched the latest hard news( as opposed to opinion) which does not presage good results for the Democrats in Nov. 2004.

First of all, the "fury and backlash" that so many on the left have predicted would manifest itself against Republican Candidates has not appeared.

The following have taken over the governorships this fall:

1. Arnold Schwartznegger- The combination of Arnold's votes 48% of the total with the other R epublican running who received 13% is a clear indication that the majority of the voters( 61%) voted for a Republican. Additionally, the turnout of the voters was larger than the turnout during the 2000 election.

2. Kentucky has elected a Republican Governor this month.

3. Mississippi has elected a Republican Governor this month

4. It would appear that the Rupublicans will elect another Republican in Louisiana( election today)

Anyone who knows the basics of politics knows that the governorships are vital in setting the stage for winning majorities for their candidates.

At this time, the Republicans control 29 governorships while the Democrats control only 21.

Furthermore, It does not look good for the Democrats in 2004 as far as Senate Seats are concerned.

It appears that there will be at least four(4) incumbents from the Democratic Side that are not running.

Edwards from NC--the ambulance chaser

Hollings from SC- Mr. senility himself

Graham from Florida- (Harris is making a bid to run against whoever the Democrats put up in Graham's place- she is very popular in Florida)

and, last but not least, Miller from Georgia.
This Democrat is retiring but he has already endorsed George W. Bush for re-election.

In summation, it is clear that opinions concering the demise of the Republican Party in Nov. 2004 are unwarranted. It is clear that the American people(if one views the new governor results and the resignation of at least 4 Democratic Senators would argue that there is no backlash or voter fury aimed at Republicans.

Your forth point convince me most :wink:

jeez and I thought it was the second 4th point that had the impact.

:wink:

Thank you for the welcome, but I do believe you are carrying the political thing a bit too far. What's the deal with the secret code, ie "divi89de"?

Sorry, Walter, I have to believe Blatham because it appears he may just appreciate some of my humor in future!

Hi, Italgato:

Ya' know, there really was a Diebold 'event' in liberal Alameda County in California that leads others to speculate if it went further in electing The Terminator.

Also, it is my understanding that the enterprising Ms. Harris of Florida has been visited upon by the 'poobahs' of her party who explained to her why she shouldn't run.

However, I agree that so far there is no backlash or voter fury aimed at Republicans; but, let a few thousand more of the 'working middle' class lose their jobs and have several more of their daughters and sons come home in boxes and things might be very different in a year or so.

Suzette btw the "89" in divi89de is a new/old sexual technique similiar to the heimlich maneuver.

Well, "89" is a NATO code for reading between the lines.
"Divi" is Latin, meaning 'divide', and "de" is the national sign for Germany.

Thus, I know what to read there (of course, only after I'd looked up the correctly divided Code 89 in the German way!



Blatham is
a) Canadian
b) a teacher.
So much about his humour.

Blatham's a teacher? Can I blame him for the poor composition skills of one of my HIST 1010 students? He's even from BC!

No , dyslexia, it was your turd fourth point.

gatos, good to know you can count as high as "turd" is that new math?

Dys, ignore him. He really isn't worth it.

Oh, thank you Walter for an explanation of Timberlandko's "divi89de" that makes sense. dys, you may slap yourself lightly across your cheek. As to blatham being both Canadian and a teacher, oh dear, perhaps I do have to wonder about my belief in him. Nope, sorry, have to stick with him ... he's my only hope for some appreciation at my own attempts at humor ... but, garsh, what does that say about me? (don't answer that, please :wink: )

Devided we stand.
This nation is polarized as it has not been for at least 50 years. Unfortunately for the Dems, the most important thing for most of the electorate is the economy. Dems are still viewed as the tax and spend folk. No matter about the Iraq invasion. In a few months that will be nuetered as an issue. If it's only Iraqies or some other country's people being maimed &/or killed it will not matter to the voters in the US.

The Dems will have no platform. Any issues six months from now will be moot. The main issue, the economy will be made to seem that it has recovered even if the job recovery will be located outside of the US. The Middle Class have been deemed expendable by the Neo cons. The focus is now on expanding the wealth of the Multi-National Corps. The US is in a neo Imperial age.

I read Mr. Pistoff's paragraph. His opinion is interesting but I wish he had presented some evidence to back up his points. He did not.

pistoff, It's a time of great confusion for both democrats and republicans. GWBush is spending money like no other president before him, and he supposed to be a 'conservative.' The dems still don't know how to challenge this administration on the 'issues,' and can't see the forest for the trees. Dean makes his verbal gaffs, but he's still the front-runner, and the other dems are trying to tear him apart. Politics as usual.

So, counter him. Show us your prodigeous intellect and provide evidence to counter him.

Counter him? You can't counter anyone who makes statements without backing them up!!!!

Only if he ( Mr. Pistoff) presents evidence can that evidence be countered.

You can't argue with statements of faith. If you read Mr. Pistoff, you find statements of faith, not statements of fact.
