The Final US Election Thread

Yeah, the Burner race will be close. But that woman represents all the worst bits of dailykos koolaid drinkers, and I really don't want her in Congress.

But even King County is just barely going for Burner right now - and the first batch of votes they counted was 57% for Burner, and these later votes will be after the whole degree stupidity she put herself in. If she loses King, she's done for, and it could be that way.

What are the worst parts of DailyKos she represents? As one who only gets my news about that race from the Kos and wherever they link to I get a one-eyed view. What is it that is so bad about her?

Just interested.

Also an update on Tubes' race in Alaska:

Tom Begich (Brother of the Democrat and a man highly placed in the campaign team) says the following:

Last precincts in - Mark won them, new numbers are: Begich 103,337 (47%) to Stevens 106,594 (48%) 100% in. Estimate is 60 - 75 thousand yet to count. We are told 15% are from Juneau which I am trying to confirm. We won 64% of the vote in Juneau.

She's the embodiment of partisanship - what doesn't matter is how good an idea is, it matters if the democratic party supports it. She's an ideologue who places ideologies above results. She lies and exaggerates easily checked facts. She doesn't think, she parrots the dailykos agenda, a divisive, us-vs-everybody who doesn't fully agree with us attitude.

And more votes have been counted, and she's not getting any closer.

For once I'm not gonna provide a link, 'cause that would just be wrong. BUt here you go, evidence that the Westboro Baptist Church hasn't gone away:

Good grief, I have the most un-Christian thoughts whenever I read about them.

I don't see any specifics there. Besides, she didn't support the FISA legislation and the party leadership in both houses did. That's just one I can think of off the top of my head.

Corrected:

A couple specifics: her lie about her degree, her exaggeration about her work at Microsoft, and ho here whole 2006 platform was George Bush is evil!.

A politician embellishing the truth

It's not the lying so much as being an idiot when you do it, lying on easily verified facts, like what degrees you have, or heavily embellishing your job (ie. saying middle management is an 'executive' position).

In a way making such thickheaded mistakes is worse than the actual lying.

Oh, and Burner is losing in King County (stronghold and fortress of democrats here in Washington)!

Losing! In King County! And behind by 5000 votes in Pierce County!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Burner has lost! She's done for! Even with Obama she's lost! There's still hope for Washington!

That made my day.
