3. Yup. It's an historic trend that the losing party in the GE wins the NJ/VA governorships.

4. yes but we have a dirty media in many cases and they help the republicans

Jeff Gannon a prostitute that pretended to be a reporter @ White House press conferences spent the night @ the White House ...... not a word from the press

Dick Cheney shot a man in the face after drinking and the subject was gone with in days from the press

George W Bush's ranch was a prop built by Enron w/ rented cattle and yet the press kept talking about W's "ranch"

We picked up 2 seats in the House last night but that will be glossed over too.

6. well at least in VA i can say that

Gilmore was such an inept and monumental fuckup (he was Bush on a smaller scale) that no gop candidate was going to win following him...
