I would ask Scott Brown what he thinks about Tea Party support. Let's hope northeast democrats take their seats for granted. |

Then there's Alvin Greene with no political experience, no money, and very little exposure and the people in South Carolina would rather have him in office than the Democratic incumbent. |

It is obvious that the American people are not happy with the white house! Yes they voted for change, but they didn't expect this! There are some, like boxy, that will continue to blame bush. People are smarter than that and are tired of hearing it. People are tired of hearing about the government take over of the banks, the auto industry, health care, college loans!!! Now raising taxes on the rich, which are the people that own corporations and create jobs was the last nail in the coffin.
Small businesses are hemorrhaging to death!! Don't believe me.....just ask them!! Small businesses are the building blocks of this countries economy. They are being taxed to death and health care will kill them!!!
The tea party will prevail in the majority of the elections!! And hopefully they will repeal this unconstitutional health care beast!!! |

I am sure Lazio who just got trounced three to one, would have done farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr better. Weak horses need to win at Belmont before they run in the Derby.
Lazio pulled up lame a long time ago, and the conservative party of NY and locally simply wanted someone weak to lose to Cuomo so they could get more democrap patronage. |

Well for those of you "who think for yourself" what the hell were you thinking when you put Bush in for eight years. Were you thinking lets have a war a kill off some of our young people and hundreds of thousands of folks in a country that had nothing to do with 9-11.? Were you thinking let's get someone in who can tank the economy? Just what were you thnking?
Now the Tea Party has come along and you have candidates who want to run using a language of violence. Yeah I am with Tommy--say hello to Gov. Cuomo and AG Eric Schneiderman. |

Same old song and dance - Bush, Bush, Bush... Obama doesn't bode well for democrats. He pushed Congressional Democrat to the edge of the cliff with the Obamacare bill, now their fate is less than 2 months away. |

Perhaps like many voters in 2000, the people who voted for George W. Bush just didn't want Al Gore to be President. |

I have always said that people vote their wallets...but the 2000 election was an anomaly. With the economy still appearing to be good, Gore should have won in a walk, just like daddy Bush did in 1988. That just tells you what a horrible candidate Al Gore was. |

Ummm Hate to break this to you but Al Gore Won!
Americans voted for Al over Bushy by a margin of over half a million votes.
Gore lost on a technicality that is our Electoral College which is legal, but hardly the 'will of the people'.

Ummm, hate to break it to you, but the rules of the Electoral College have been in effect since the Constitution was written. If you don't like it, you can do one of 2 things. Either jump in your time machine and go back to talk to the founding fathers about how bad an idea it is, or run for Congress yourself or talk to your congressman about putting up an amendment to the Constitution to get rid of the Electoral College. By the way, in case you think that this is the first time someone has pulled a fast one, not winning the popular vote, but winning the electoral college to take the presidency, did you realize that Bush was actually the fourth that was put into the presidency without winning the popular vote??? http://www.ipl.org/div/farq/POTUSFARQ.html
Quoted Text
Q: Which Presidents lost the popular vote but still became President? A: There have been four cases of this happening thus far. In 1824, John Quincy Adams was awarded the presidency by the House of Representatives, despite not having won the popular vote or the electoral college vote (neither he nor opponent Andrew Jackson had an electoral college majority). In 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes became President despite losing the popular vote to Samuel J. Tilden, because Hayes had a one vote advantage in the electoral college. In 1888, in a much more clear-cut example of a candidate losing the popular vote but winning the electoral college vote, Benjamin Harrison was elected President over Grover Cleveland. Finally, in 2000, George W. Bush became president after losing the popular vote to Al Gore, but winning the electoral vote. For more information on how the electoral college works, see the U.S. Electoral College homepage, administered by the National Archives and Records Administration: U.S. Electoral College ( http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/).
Notice, though that this doesn't say anything about George W. Bush's second term in office, where Bush won over John Kerry by over 3 million votes. Maybe that will go to show Al Gore, it's not how many votes you get, it's where you get them from. |
