Locally, I'm not too excited about elections. Don't like the gov, or his Democratic opponent. Doubt if my local reps are going to change either.

So, just looking around to other states as that's more interesting.

You?

Vote GOP for Sen/House/Gov, about all that is going on here. Until the Tea Party gets more active no real choice but rather get Dems out of power, too much damage done and can't chance another rubber-stamp on an Obama SCOTUS nominee.
The President is a fink.

Even Nate Silver is giving the Senate to the
Right, 65% chance. Others have it much
higher. The country really hates Obama
with a passion.

Funny how when Nate predicts an Obama win, conservatives crow about skewed numbers.
When Nate predicts a repub win, no skewed numbers.

This election might not bode well for dems but the tables will be turned in 2016
Presidential election plus 23 repub senate seats up for grabs vs only 10 dem seats.

So you think 2 more years of Obama will
have the country longing for another
Dem president? You think they're sick of
him now, just wait. Some are saying it
could be 20 years before we see another
all Dem congress, and it's all because of
Obama.

Close to even money and a bunch of longshots.
This is reality. Bookies deal in reality.

I don't know who her sponsors are yet. I haven't been watching very closely as I'm pretty sure no matter who gets promoted to POTUS it probably won't help my cause noticeably.

If it has to be a woman for the left, blue whatever the f*** party, I think this gal is leagues ahead of pillary.

If the other side, supposedlly different [I think they should have to wear their sponsors jackets like a Nascar car] needs a woman, [leave my ex-governor alone thank-you] I have been pretty impressed with Catherine Austin Fitts, although I don't believe she wants any part of politics after working for the Bush regime.

Very good read, I think she might have been able to fix HUD if left alone.

There are many respectable women out there, but what does it matter? HC

Hillary had the lock in 08 too. Look
what happened. She'll be 8 years
older and 8 years uglier in 2016,
and people are bored and tired
of the Clinton's.

Its so far off 2016 , more fun watching close upcoming elections,
Got my eyes on Senate races in
Alaska, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas.
Lets see if the Repubs can take the senate. Looking good but Dems closing the gap.
Very close in these states.
Also watching a pretty heated Gov election in Florida, Scott vs Christ.
