If we don't win the Senate during midterms it has nothing to do with NJ
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 10:14 PM by LynneSin
Seriously - stop trying to blame what happened in New Jersey to something that hasn't even happened yet and very well won't happen for the shear reason that something like 75% of all votes are done on electronic voting machines controlled by repuke friendly CEOs.

The polls clearly show us winning New Jersey (which is a liberal state) along with Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Montana. If we end up losing any of those five states I'm not gonna start yelling that it's the fault of some judge in New Jersey. I'm gonna start demanding that we investigate these damn machines and get this problem exposed!

What happened in New Jersey is absolutely amazing - equality should never EVER be swept under the rug for any reason whatsoever!

1. Thank you.
:applause:

I'm also sick of those from out-of-state informing me how this will affect elections *within* New Jersey.

BTW, a posted a brief report of the rally in the lounge.

3. I know plenty of them.
Morris County Republicans are confusing. I'm not going to complain about their support of gay rights though.

5. I really doubt that we were going to win the Senate anyway
Mainly because not enough Republican seats are up this time.

8. 9-10 seats are in play, most polls have DEMS 50-50 or 51-49
I think we are on the edge of takin the senate.

12. The NJ news appears to be a media non-event.
At least from when I sit, it has barely resonated. What is the reaction like nationwide?

13. That's an exaggeration

The NJ decision will cost the Democrats some votes. There are all sorts of other things that will cost them more, but it will still be one factor.
