Annie,
Make sure your husband takes a walk through the parking lot and fires those driving cars with Obama stickers first.

DSW,
I’d love to say my husband could give you a job but his small business makes more than $250,000/year and he is about to have to let a couple of people go – Thanks Barack!

What about a job with Obama’s new military… can you goose step?

Great job on the predictions AntiFed! You nailed them right on although I wish you would have been wrong on the Schweikert vs. Mitchell race.

Given your tremendous insight, I’d like to hear your prediction on where I’m going to find my next job now that I’m unemployed. Do you think Barack Obama will pay my mortgage and other bills now?

It’s time to gloat:
1.) I was RIGHT on McLame losing to NObama.
2.) We’ll see what happens to the pink gorilla.
3.) I was RIGHT that the Dims would fall shy of a 60 seat majority in the Senate.
4.) I was RIGHT that Pelosi would smoke Sheehan.
5.) I was RIGHT that Schweik would lose to Harry.
6.) I was RIGHT that the uninspiring Bee would lose to Gabby.
7.) And now reports indicate that the AZ legislature is more conservative than it was, so I was RIGHT on that too.

So, I know I can elicit some strong reactions from some, like the nudist Horst, the openly moderate Tony GOPrano, the leftist Untersturmfuhrer Klute, and the brainless Todd. Like it or not, I was RIGHT. Perhaps I’m not as insane as the lot of you think I am.

Now, it is time for a bloodletting in the Republican party. The US has utterly rejected rule by RINOs/neo-cons/moderates. Indeed, they are DIRECTLY responsible for Republican losses. Some may claim it’s a different country and we can’t return to the Reagan era, but I utterly reject that assertion. If the country has rejected rule by moderates, and elected a radical leftist because the radical energized his base, then one MUST conclude that a radical conservative will reignite the Republican fire.

Wasn’t it on this blog that someone with a handle of Horst Kraus promised to “name names” as soon as McMaverick lost?

About my Comment #18 – It look like my thoughts about Elizabeth Dole came true. Too bad she is a nice lady. I hoped I would be wrong….

I received my November 08 issue of Forbes yesterday. The title of the lead article: “The coming Shakedown”. The point of the article? It doesn’t matter who wins – we are all going to be seeing more and not less of our money going to Washington.

Obama wins.
House goes stronger Dem.
Senate goes Dem > 60 votes.
And we wait for the fourth horseman of the apocalypse to arrive.

Holding my breath:

Arizona is the only state in the union who has a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day because of the vote of its citizens.

The rest of the states in the union who have a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day have one because of a vote of its legislature or by executive order of its governor.

We may have some embarrassments, however, on this one we can say we voted for it.

The Dems run the table in LD26, setting up a battle for control of the GOP between the Melvin backers (who will blame everyone but the candidate for the fact he lost twice) and the moderates…who will include Vic Williams…who will blame Melvin and Zerull for dragging him down with them.

Giffords by 5.5%, Mitchell by 3% and Kirkpatrick by 10%. Shadegg survives by 6%.

LaWall, Bronson and Dupnik all win comfortably.

Wong, McClure and Newman are elected to the ACC.

All the propositions go down because there are too damn many of them and the electorate is in a “vote no” mood.

Arizona has earned that label.

Thanks to Evan Mecham we have had a Governor who referred to black children as “pickaninnies” and voted against a Martin Luther King Holiday.

Prediction #1 – if Obama loses – many of the new base energized by him will be disheartened and probably stay out of politics for many years, the only saving grace for the D’s will be that they will still have control of Congress. The inability to win the White House in a time when the agenda seemed to be theirs to control will lead to a lot of fingerpointing and inability to regroup for another solid run for 2012. The party will split into its traditional left wing and moderate wing and the two will fight each other instead of joining to take on the GOP.

Prediction #2 – if McCain loses – the GOP will be in disarray for many years – the rebuilding will be difficult. Who wants to become a candidate for a party who decides to attack you if you fail to support one line of their party platform? If she loses ask Elizabeth Dole if she would recommend the party as a party who comes to your defense. In fact not only will the party not come to your defense, it will allow groups like Club for Growth to destroy people who have the courage to run for public office . Who needs enemies when you have friends like this? The Dems were known as the party who ‘couldn’t get their act together’; with McCain’s defeat the mantle will be picked up by the GOP.
