Dislike the man,love the dairy ;) Lee--I agree that November might prove a stunning reality check for the right. I forcast dirty tricks on the horizon, however, in an effort to keep hold of the White House. 700862@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Mar 2008 12:45:52 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/09/002508.php#comment-700859 Red state Virginia had two "unbeatable" Republican senators in 2006. Unless a big upset occurs, it will have two Democrats in the senate next year, and the Democratic candidates for president are at least as popular as McCain is here because Democrats and independents are energized and many Republicans are not that enthusiastic about him. 700859@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Mar 2008 12:18:25 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/09/002508.php#comment-700858 I agree. Oberweis is an idiot and inherently weak candidate. One can expect the seat to go Republican in the next election. I do like the Oberweis chocolate milk though :) 700858@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Mar 2008 11:58:14 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/09/002508.php#comment-700857 John, the stunning part is that Hastert's (of all seats) was taken by the Dems. This is the heart of Reagan-land. Why run Oberweis if he's such a loser? Were the Repubs so arrogant that they thought they could run anyone and still win? I think the win by Foster speaks to a bigger Republican problem. 700857@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Mar 2008 11:57:07 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/09/002508.php#comment-700830 Its not stunning, Oberweis has a long history of blowing sure things. He even gets a second chance to blow it again in November. 700830@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Mar 2008 08:59:20 EDT
