Will the National GOP learn from Virginia?

[RKMBrown]

You fell for it, Einstein. Christie got 20% of NJ blacks, blue-state blacks, you silly sucker.

I made you come up with figure so that you can see that Christie is viable where as the rest of America along with blacks will piss all over the far right candidates.

We can't win with TeaPoCrapic far right reactionaries, son.

HUH? You lied on purpose, because you think 20% of the black vote is enough to make people who love liberty want to vote for a socialist dirt bag like Chris Christie? I get it that socialists like you like it when the republicans offer up a socialist like Bush, that way you socialist scum can't loose.

Catching you in your lies is worth it, bub.

CC is not socialist, your are not mainstream American much less Republican, and we are not going to finance TeaPoCraps to run for major office. The word went out this morning.

huh? you are the stupit shit head that lied... what an idiot. And hell no I'm not mainstream, nor republican. Nor will I ever vote for a republican socialist, not ever, never, not gonna do it. I don't care how loud you shit heads scream but if you don't vote for our socialist that socialist will get elected.

The National GOP is trying to change caucuses to primaries in some states specifically because they believe they bring out people who do not represent the mainstream of the party.

If there is anything to be gleaned from the Virginia race it's this:

The GOP has a long way to go, but the failure of Obamacare will be a major cache of weaponry for them in 2014 and 2016.

It is yet to fail....sorry to disappoint.

It's already failed.

4.2 million times.

Sorry to disappoint.

 

[JoeB131]

it may have took a third party supported by the dems to

get a dem in office

however it looks like the

Attorney general job will be a republican

mark obenshain(R) 49.9
mark herring (D) 49.87

unless al franken can show up in time with a trunk of missing ballots

I think your data is out of date...

Herring, Obenshain may face recount in Va. AG?s race; December outcome likely - The Washington Post

State Sen. Mark D. Obenshain (R-Harrisonburg) held a 727-vote lead over state Sen. Mark R. Herring (D-Loudoun) on Wednesday evening, according to the Virginia State Board of Elections. More than 2 million votes were cast in the race.

The margin widened and narrowed throughout the day, as local election boards began reviewing Tuesday’s vote. Boards spent the day processing provisional ballots, votes cast by individuals who didn’t have proper ID at the polls or who went to the wrong polling place. They also began to canvass returns, combing through them for human and mechanical errors.

no actually it isnt out of date

but thanks anyhow

Uh, yeah, it is... right now the DEMOCRAT is slightly ahead.

Opinion: What GOP can learn from Cuccinelli's tanking bid in Virginia - CNN.com

(CNN) -- Virginia is a cautionary tale for conservatives this year. And those Republicans who always argue that their party wins when it moves further to the right are going to have a lot of explaining to do after Election Day.

This was written before the election, but I doubt the GOP will learn a lesson. Their call now is, "But the margin wasn't as big as......"

Actually, the GOP should have kept the Governor's mansion from all historical accounts. And they could have if they had nominated Bill Bolling the moderate Lt Gov. But the TP fanatics and the untra-right out of state money pushed for Coooooch.

This is just a small lesson for the national GOP. Will they heed the warning or continue their march to the right?

I'm several pages behind but, in a word, yes.

They're all hating all over the one and only R who won - Christie.

All except for lame ass Mittens. After he said all the nasty stuff about Christie, all of a sudden, he did his usual flip flop and said Christie was the second coming of the R party.

But, basically, the R thinks going after the basic rights of Americans is the way to win.

When did Romney say bad stuff about CHristie?

 

[Pheonixops]

Yeah cause if it wasn't for the tea party blacks would suddenly vote for republicans. ROFL Fakey you are the only person that keeps PMZ from being known as the dumbest man in America.

Christy got 80% of the blacks, son. How many did cooch get?

Truth? PMZ is an Einstein compared to you. Read my sentence above any time you doubt that.

ROFL you are truly an idiot. Chris Christie got 20% of the black vote, not 80%.

When is the last time a republican received 20% of the "Black vote"? Christie has a "crossover" appeal in my opinion, why do you think he received that high of a percentage of the "black vote"?

 

[ScienceRocks]

50%+ of the Hispanic vote

Running moderates are good for America.

Fuck extremist.

yea, we learned that the democrats claiming the were a heavy favorite to win barely eeked by. on the other hand, a republican dominated a very liberal state in NJ

Why do you think that a Republican won easily in a very liberal state and a Democrat won in a pretty much conservative red state?

Likely the latter.

Eventually the decision will be made for them, however; as American society becomes more inclusive and diverse, as same-sex couples and transgender persons realize their civil liberties, and as younger voters continue to reject the hate and ignorance exhibited by the right, republicans will have no other choice than to embrace diversity and dissent or cease being a National party.

When did Romney say bad stuff about CHristie?

The new Halperin/Heilemann book, Double Down has been quoted for several days now. Among other things, he called Christie "Pufferfish".

?Double Down? Campaign Book: Mitt Romney Made Fun Of Chris Christie For Being Big Gross Fatty

Double Down Book Excerpt To Detail Romney Campaign Concerns About Chris Christie | TIME.com

More News From Double Down: Obama "Luckier Than a Dog with Two Dicks"

I've heard and read more. I'm sure you can find more if you want to look.

But, today, Romney had nothing but complements for Christie.

 

[JoeB131]

Publically, though, it was all a love fest...

Look, we all say things about people we know behind their backs that are uncomplimentary and sound worse when someone else repeats them....

Geezus, stop making me defend Romney. Just stop it!!!

 

[Katzndogz]

Both democrats and republicans learned that obamacare took an 18 point lead down to a win by 1.4 points in a few days despite being outspent by 15 million dollars and without RNC support.

That's why democrat senators demanded that emergency meeting today. They were shitting themselves.

Hey, don't blame me.

Mitt's insults were reported way back when he was running for King of America. Nothing new there.

It also stands to reason - Mitt has always been uber wealthy, hates the working class and looks the part. Christie is pretty disgusting to look at and he's got a mouth he can't control, either what goes in and what comes out. To Mittens, he would be a lower life form.

The part I think is interesting is that Christie's history is much more conservative than Mitt's. In spite of being conservative, the Rs don't like him because he was willing to speak to Obama AND he went to jelly over Springsteen. He also took federal money for his state. Other Rs would rather see their constituents starve than take federal money.

Mostly, its fun watching them eat each other.

Cooch lost because of what he is. McCauliffe won in spite of what he is.

 

[Iceman]

20% of the black vote would be worthless in a national election. The risk is not worth the reward as far as outreach with blacks goes for Republicans.

So all we have to do is convert the republican party to flaming socialist pigs and we can be assured that they will get 20% of the black vote. ROFL That's like saying all you have to do is hang yourself and the pain will go away.

 

[Londoner]

No. They will continue to pursue supply side economics when the problem is consumer demand (which they wrongly believes trickles down by making the rich richer)

The government boosted consumer demand for 30 years, during which we had our greatest economic growth. Then, we took everything government did for the middle class and replaced it with credit (debt). This worked for a little while, but now the consumer is too indebted to consume . . . game over.

Yes, they are going to have to explain how., even with the shutdown totally overwhelming the debate about Obamacare, and the fact that they nominated a guy that is so crazy that he makes McCarthy look sane, being outspent by almost 2 to 1, absolutely no support from the big money donors, or the establishment of the party, they still managed to come within 60,000 votes of winning.

Wait, I said that wrong.
