6. Especially since Bush, Laura and Cheney all came to town |
|
to raise money for her, it was a squeaker.

27. The idiot she was running against failed to show up for 3 debates the last week |
|
I was down on the peninsula right before the election and there was nothing but wall to wall TV ads for Drake and the city comptroller who was running against her. I forgot his name but he was a 1 off in every poll-virtually tied. They were going to have 3 debates in the very last week and suddenly this moron goes AWOL. He failed to show up sighting some concerns about the debate format and basically he disappeared from the public's eye and she still only won by 3% or something like that.

28. Phil Kellam. I received an e-mail from him in July that he will NOT run again. |
|
Thank God. He just didn't have the fire in him to win what was a winnable race.

7. The Norfolk/Va.Beach area has had a ton of stooopid congrsscritters. |
|
G. William Whitehurst didn't set the world on fire, but he wasn't too bad.
Owen Pickett was dumb as a post.
Ed Shrock was a smart, actually navy veteran and USNA grad who started propositioning men over the phone. Stoooopid.
Now, Drake. She's still not as stupid as Paul Tribble was. He still sets the standard.

9. Thanks for that trip down memory lane :) |
|
It really was too bad about Shrock, I liked him and he represented us well. Did I read that Jeff Gannon exposed him? I know the GOP wanted a more Bush friendly candidate here...and we got Thelma after Rove swiftboated David Ashe, an Iraq vet and attorney.

12. Yes! As I told my folks, the area FINALLY got a rep. that was one of their own... |
|
an Academy grad whose kids went to public school, etc. In one of his earliest campaigns he came to the house and complained about having to fight the Democrats AND Pat Robertson!
He was a real loss.

14. The protection is probably warented. |
|
If someone films her, they can cut up the film and make it say give her response to questions other than were asked. It is her way of having 'what really was said' on tape. Not defending her policies at all, but there is a good reason for her having her own tape.

16. Republicans only represent republicans. That leaves the Democratic members |

of their constituencies out in the cold....very cold, usually.
They don't want a unified America.

a real piece of work if ever there was one. I take great joy in discarding every piece of BS correspondence that this empty suit of a bit*h sends my way. My great hope is that someone decent from our side that knows how to counter the slime that she always slings against Democratic opponents will annihilate her next November.

23. this is what Dems need to be doing.... |

asking the "unexpected questions."
One of my family members is in Thelma Snake's territory. She's so sneaky she doesn't put 'Republican on her campaign literature. Very competent at shilling for the right rather than governing.
Retire, why doncha Thelma. You represent a losing agenda.
Thanx for posting Catchawave.

Brave Sir Robin ran away. Bravely ran away, away! When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!
