3. Independents are getting killed by both parties so far if these three states are |
|
an indication of what might the country look like in November there isn't any blow out I'm seeing so far the democrats are beating rethugs in two of the three states and if that stupid ass Green party person wasn't in Maine we would be winning there also

9. I think you're talking about Eliot Cutler who is an Indy. No Greens running for Gov here. |

5. What I think is happening here is the democrats have a better GOTV field operation |
|
the rethugs have invested in money only and I think they lack the GOTV effort.

8. If we only tie the Republicans we're in big trouble. |
|
Independents are almost certainly going to break in favor of the bigots.

10. still hearing that enthusiam gap crap from CNN today tho |
|
I say they have a journalistic gap
I really wonder how these fools sleep at night knowing they support such massive lies just to keep their paychecks. It would be tough call, no doubt, but somebody out there in big name recognition journo land has to have some things to say about this.
Are there any good exposé books on insider stuff in the media? Probably not, they'd have to assume a new identity and move to another country.

14. most tea baggers are not independents--they are republicans |
|
but the question is the indies. Are the dems getting their indies to the polls in early voting or are the GOP?
