jesse_ewiak 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 Here's the link, forgot those don't cut and paste... The Poll And plus, it's funny. When was the last smackdown like this in a race that was once thought to be compeittive? I mean, I'm sure that McCain or Teddy Kennedy have gotten upwards of 90% against sacrificial lambs, but at one point, the GOP thought this could be a pickup for them. Just goes to show you, if you want to be a Senator, don't go to kinky sex clubs with your wife unless you're sure that she won't mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 Who thought Keyes would give Tyler's man-crush trouble? And I think John and Uncle Ted do get some competition in their elections -- it's just that they always seem to have a comfortable majority that votes for them no matter what. The real mismatches are those inner-city elections with Maxine Watters and friends. Most of the time the GOP doesn't even bother. EDIT: God damnit, I have to register. F-that...

Hell, I can't find a conservative who even LIKES Keyes or wants him to run? Hell, Nat'l Review Online opposes him as much as any liberal. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jesse_ewiak 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 Just use [email protected] for the e-mail and dailykos for the pw. Well, nobody thought Keyes would give him any problems, but before the implosion of Ryan, the GOP thought they could win or keep it close. I just find it funny that a party that was in control of the major executive offices just a few years ago has imploded utterly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason the GOP had a resurgence in IL is because Rostenkowski and Mosely-Braun were such disasters that ANYBODY looked good in comparison. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jesse_ewiak 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 Actually, moderate Republicans always had a chance in statewide offices due to the fact Illinois is more conservative the farther south and outside of Chicago you go, and yeah, the fact a scumbag like Mosley Braun got elected Senator help matters. I mean, here's the list of Governor's... Richard Buell Ogilvie Republican 1969-1973 Daniel Walker Democratic 1973-1977 James R. Thompson Republican 1977-1991 James Edgar Republican 1991-1999 George H. Ryan Republican 1999-2003 Rod R. Blagojevich Democratic 2003-present Not exactly Democratic dominant?

bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2004 funny but no surprise. the point of keyes wasn't to try to win, it was simply to lob shots at Obama to try and lay a "foundation of weakness" on certain things, so future shots later in Obama's career could possibly have more impact. Kinda like the swiftboat vet ads and kerry. Keyes can get away with saying something like "obama's position on abortion is the slaveholder's position" (or whatever his exact quote was) without being accused of racism.
