Three election days in a row: more americans voted dem than rethug |

Of course the hoes will never point this out, but in 2001 we whipped them in nearly every race large and small.
In 2002, we got 50K more votes, but thanks to the electoral system, most of the races were GOP strongholds (not to mention the fact that if Welstone and Carnahan were still alive we'd still hold the senate). 19 percent of the population--mostly republicas--voted in 60 percent of the senate races. And we still got more votes!
This year we kicked ass on local and state leg. races but lost two southern gov's.
The last three elections have been bad news for the GOP--nothing, not 9-11, not iraq, not the tax cut--have made anyone switch to their side.
The media will never report this, of course, because it would make KKKarl mad, but if you think they don't see this at the RNC and the WH, you're fooling yourself. Expect many more shameless lies and blatantly pandering proposals as the election ramps up.

The rnc is thinking the same things. Expect a boatload of advertising to counter this. My 82 year old father-in-law put it best. When we where talking about the economy he said"It's those God damned republicans"...I almost fell outta my chair.

2. hard to see last three elections as bad for republicans.. |
|
when they control the Senate, House, White House and 29 of 50 Governorships...with two gov's picked up yesterday...
total numbers don't matter...it has to be looked at by individual election/office...and that isn't going so well

If we get more votes, we pick up seats.
Plus, the fact that they haven't converted any voters means that Chimp ain't going to pick up any states we won in 2000.
If we get a few more votes in FL, NH, or WV, we take the white house.
It's that simple.
