Posted by Parkchester (East 177th St) on Wed Nov 4 11:51:09 2009, in response to Re: WHY the GOP lost NY-23, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Nov 4 07:32:36 2009. Apparently, either Bush Jr. didn't tell Obama during the transition, or Obama wasn't paying any attention, about Virgina. In 2005, Tim Kaine was able to overcome a deficit in the polls to beat Jerry Kilgore, despite this coming after Bush's victory in 2004, Bush's support for Kilgore in the run-up to the poll, and the presence of an 3rd party candidate. What happened in VA and NJ seems to be a case of lightning striking twice in the same place (or, in the case, two places.) |
