Election 2010

Post by _Brackite »

Tomorrow, There are two important GOP Senate Primary elections. There is one in Nevada, and there is one in California. The three main GOP Candidates in the California Senate Primary are Carly Fiorina, Tom Campbell, and Chuck DeVore. The three main GOP Candidates in the Nevada Primary are Sue Lowden, Sharron Angle, and Danny Tarkanian. The winner of the Nevada GOP Primary will face Democratic Senator Harry Reid in the General Election. The winner of the California GOP Primary will face Liberal Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer.

We'll take any nonDemocrat who can beat those two.

In the meantime, the predicted Medicaid shortfall has hit state budgets which will drive up the cost of insurance premiums (because that's who doctors and hospitals will charge to make up the difference) and the cost of the already bloated ObamaCare by extension.

Which Republican candidate had the closest ties with the gaming industry in Nevada? Was she the winner? The name Tarkanian should garner some sports betting votes.

I don't know moksha. I am hoping that Sue Lowden wins the GOP Nomination for U.S. Senate. I like her for Senator.

Liberal Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer definitely needs to be defeated this November. GOP Moderate Candidate Tom Campbell is clearly the most likely GOP Candidate that will be able to defeat Barbara Boxer this November. Unfortunately, it clearly looks like GOP Candidate Carly Fiorina is going to win that GOP Primary.

So you would be happy with Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Warren Jeffs or any other criminal instead of the duly elected representatives of these States?

You are a sad individual.

This is not good news. The Tea Party Candidate Sharron Angle won the Nevada GOP Primary. I definitely wanted Sue Lowden to win it. Now I am now so sure about Harry Reid losing the General Election this November.

Amazing how other countries provide universal health care with lower mortality rates and higher age expectancy, all at much lower cost.

Agreed. Unfortunately, her positives are still at 58% in her precinct. AIDS has not been enought to thin out the lefty population there.

GOP Moderate Candidate Tom Campbell is clearly the most likely GOP Candidate that will be able to defeat Barbara Boxer this November. Unfortunately, it clearly looks like GOP Candidate Carly Fiorina is going to win that GOP Primary.


Looks like she did. I hear the GOP has a tendency to pick the least likely to win sorta like the national GOP picked John McCain. Besides the recent open mike gaffe (which will not affect her much at all imho), what is it about Fiorina that makes her untenable? Her views are quite mainstream.

She opposes abortion. She supported Prop 8. She says (more rightly than wrongly) that AGW is inconclusive. She opposes cap and trade. Good things like that etc. Sure Boxer can hit her on some stuff, but Republicans have to learn to get in there and play hard and dirty to beat the Democrats at their own game. Perhaps a more polished candidate would not be able to do this?

There is so much ammo on Boxer regarding the issues that any GOP candidate against her who couldn't control the message every day from now to election day is an incompetent campaigner.

No, I said non Democrat and 3 out of 4 you listed are too Democrat for my taste. The other one I have no idea. Sure, it is possible that a common criminal might have more moral authority than a Democrat these days.

Not true. What's not factored in here is the high cost of government spending on these items. In other words, the common man in Europe typically pays a lot more for healthcare than someone in the US. Also, the socialist healtcare economies of the world are being subsidized by the United States. We provide most of the R&D and the cost is not passed on to them. We foot that bill. So what happens when no one foots the bill as is the plan? The whole thing collapses. You have no clue what you are talking about SoHo.

Why would you include Vladimir Lenin on the same list as Stalin, Hitler, and Warren Jeffs?

For that matter, why include Dzhugashvili-Stalin on the same list as Hitler and Warren Jeffs?
