Election Day Countdown

[huKSer]

3 more days until the madness stops then 1 year (or less) until it starts up again. Imagine if we tax the commercials @100%

I know Tschu, Junior, Carl and a few others are looking forward to the big republican gains on election day.

I think they'll take the Senate. It's going to be really interesting to see what they do if a SC Justice retires/passes.

 

Ready for 2016? Haha.

Locally:

 

Sasse wins the Senate by 23+

Ricketts wins the Governorship by 12+

Minimum wage passes.

 

Nationally:

Republicans take the Senate with a bit of a cushion and pick up a handful in the House.

 

BUT...........in 2016 the number of Senate seats the Repubs have to defend is similar to the demographics working against the Dems this cycle, so the Presidential election will be especially impactful on the legislative races as well.

Nebraska is in for more of the same...

If the Republicans win the Senate, it would be the worst nightmare for them in 2016.

 

They will spew all over themselves thinking they have a referendum to destroy everything with Obama's name on it and in turn, will turn off about 65-70% of Americans. But, hey, the angry old white guy will be happy.

 

 

The best case scenario for them would be to gain ground in the Senate but not win it. That way, they don't have this egotistic scorched earth mentality going into 2016 and maybe...just maybe....someone in the party comes to their senses and actually campaigns on ideas and being reasonable and not trying to fill the world with the biggest load of crap ever known to man or beast.

 

And, no, I still can't fathom who in the hell I'm voting for tomorrow.

What would that be? Balanced budget? Low crime? Low unemployment? Quality schools (for the most part, some could be better)... Yeah sure hope we get rid of "more of the same"

Nebraska is doing pretty well, all in all. Then again, given the nature of our economy the recession didn't hit us as hard as some other states. Our schools are decent (with plenty of room for improvement). Our crime rate is probably comparable to states with similar population density. The commitment to fiscal responsibility is certainly admirable.

 

It's likely that the biggest change that we see if the returns come in as expected is that the Keystone XL will be approved.

 

 

Edit: should have opted to expand Medicaid . . . but who cares about the poors anyways?

I've wondered about that same thing. I don't think that their rabble rousers (see Cruz, Ted) will let them do anything but full scale anti-Obama warfare. So . . . yeah . . . that's not going to do them any favors in 2016. We'll see. The GOP could still win in 2016 if the economic recovery stalls or reverses . . . or if there is some sort of foreign policy crisis/massive terrorist attack. Barring something along those lines the demographics do not look favorable.

 

I'm genuinely interested (and a bit nervous) to see what they do if there is a SCOTUS vacancy. I'd lay odds on a full blown Constitutional crisis if it happens.

I hope Nebraska votes for Chuck Hassebrook.

I've never skipped an election, but I think this year I will. I genuinely cannot choose between Pat Quinn and Bruce Rauner for Illinois governor.

Could be worse . . . you could be choosing between Scott and Crist.
