I couldn't vote for McCain and wouldn't vote for Obama. I sat it out. That was the sucks to be in Cali. By the time the primaries rolled around to us we had just the one choice left since all the others had bowed out by that point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-69829615453050448182017-12-14T06:39:04.224-06:002017-12-14T06:39:04.224-06:00It seems to me that the demographics that voted fo...It seems to me that the demographics that voted for that person (I won't use that commies name) are usually the demographics that vote for security, welfare and fffeeeeellllings!<br /><br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-48942605283841705702017-12-13T12:15:28.757-06:002017-12-13T12:15:28.757-06:00I think it is instructive to look at the allegatio...I think it is instructive to look at the allegations made against Moore in the local context; here is the only article I have found so far that actually does that:<br />https://townhall.com/columnists/joyoverbeck/2017/11/20/roy-moore-the-moms-and-the-yearbook-signature-n2411630 Jonathan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476185257203343474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-25097914187196423032017-12-13T12:13:22.321-06:002017-12-13T12:13:22.321-06:00Jones will be in for 3 years, minimum.

I think Moore was a horrible candidate, but was a reaction to the national party trying to force a moderate-left candidate on a much more conservative state. So the state voters gave them the finger and went with Moore in the primary, despite him being a problematic candidate. And even then, he would probably have won if not for the October surprise.<br /><br />Lesson to the national party: don't try to run Dem-lite candidates the base doesn't like.<br /><br />Lesson to the states: making rude gestures at the national party is fine. But running the nearest thing you could find in negatives to H. Clinton isn't too great an idea either.<br /><br />Lesson to President Trump: taking solid Republican votes out of the Senate to put in Cabinet positions isn't a great idea either. Taking them out of the House isn't great, either, but there are more of 'em and they can be replaced faster.Javaheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922782424313956036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-86330675856536447682017-12-13T11:34:54.021-06:002017-12-13T11:34:54.021-06:00I think the do-over is in two years.

I believe the special election was to fill the position vacated by Sessions when he accepted a job with the Trump administration.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.com
