It was Hutchison who needed to effectively go negative if she had a hope of winning this race, and yet it is Constantine who has come up with the most devastatingly effective ad. I guess that’s because there are more truly negative things to say about Hutchison than about Constantine.

Oh, and just to remind everyone about my prediction of the GOP going the way of the Whig Party, look no farther than the political in fighting for the congressional seat in up state New York where Palin and Newt are splitting the conservative movement.
All the Dems need between now and July/Aug 2010 is for the unemployment rate to drop to 7.5%. Then, the Dem majority will grow by 2 seats, at least, in the Senate and a few more seats in the House.
Mid term elections are the year the opposition party is supposed to pick up seats. in 2010 the Republicans will fall short.
This will cause even more bitter infighting.
Come 2012, when Pres. Obama wins reelection, and the Dems still control both houses of congress, we’ll be taking about the “new” independent conservative party movement that will split the GOP.
You can only remain an opposition party and not the governing party with 20-30% of the vote.
Conservatives, on the wrong side of history and the wrong side of traditional American Values.
The PEOPLE have spoken and they have rejected the Reagan Republican philosophy of governance.

Dow Constantine has one closer to home. Apparently, he got a little touchy-feely with a staffer and she filed a complaint. Which got Keith Ervin from the Times a TRO for trying to investigate the public documents.
The staffer either didn’t want her name dragged through the mud or Dow paid off well enough that she had a shyster file the TRO.

“That tells me the architectural drawings have been long completed; contractors have already been hired; cement and steel already ordered. …
“As far as blaming the machinists union …, I think that’s totally bogus. The union was more than willing to make huge concessions, including an agreement of 10 years or more of strike-free labor here.”

What this should tell any sentient intelligent organic being is that NOTHING THE UNION, GOVERNOR, OR DOW CONSTANTINE COULD HAVE DONE would have changed this decision.

Suzie’s Lying Ad
Just saw a Hutchison ad on TV. She criticized Dow for, among other items, closing parks. WTF?! Keeping parks open takes MONEY which comes from TAXES and Suzie is a rightwing Republican running on an anti-tax platform (she wants to balance the county budget by eliminating health benefits for county workers, which is why Reagan Dunn is the only county employee who donated to her campaign). So what gives? I’m forced to conclude this ad is a FUCKING LIE.

Schram says they did. I’ll believe him before I’ll believe you.
“The union had asked for a commitment to put future work here in exchange for a long-term no-strike commitment through 2020.”
By your own fucking quote in your own fucking comment the union offered Boeing a 10-year no-strike commitment!
Of course, a close reading reveals what Boeing really wanted: A 10-year no-strike agreement and the union’s agreement that the company could oppose union organizing IN RETURN FOR NOTHING. That isn’t bargaining; that’s dictating. In fact, it’s pretty goddam obvious the company deliberately presented IAM with terms it couldn’t possibly accept because BOEING HAD ALREADY DECIDED TO BUILD THE PLANT IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

You’re confusing market consolidation with market growth. Look at how many places those who don’t want a conservative spin on their TV watching can go verses those who do.

They struggle to sing any praise as she has accomplished nothing, but they do know a useful stooge when they see one.

In 2008 you said I was a Klown because I predicted the House would pick up more seats, Dems would get to at least 57 seats (turned out to be 60 in their caucus) and Obama would THUMP McCain.
All along you faithfully spouted off the RNC/FOX News talking points about the economy and what happened??
The Great Reagan Republican Recession!! Over $50 Trillion down the crapper.
Obama gets his fiscal policies in place, stops the bleeding and rebounds the Dow and the economy from the Bush Bottom around what 6,600 points to 10,000 points.
I know dipshits like you and Puddy believe in those late night “get rich quick” infomercials. Because if you didn’t, and you KNEW from experience that wealth building takes time you would be happy with the progress that President Obama has made considering we were at the abyss of another Republican caused Great Depression.
What? 40-50% gain in 6 months since the Bush Bottom is “disastrous”?????
