In reply to the discussion: Nate Silver has Florida light blue today with a 59.2% Obama win prediction for November 6! UPDATED [View all]Greybnk48
(10,735 posts)12. When I think of Wisconsin going back to blue
my chest tightens up. I cannot tell you how some of us feel here after being molested by Walker, Kathy Nicholas, the Fitzgeralds, et. al. and Ron Johnson and Reed Ribble. Kleefisch is sort of just there, a nothing. And now the embarrassment that is Reince Priebus and Paul Ryan. Too much! And I almost forgot the re-emergence of the sleaziest drunk you'd ever meet, Tommy Thompson.
I hope we CRUSH the repugs everywhere. I've had it with them!
And this is bad, but I hope that horrid slug Sensenbrenner has a nice long karmic visit while he's recovering from breaking his hip and arm (awww). He was probably sloshed at the time he fell; another sot.
*end of rant* Thanks to whoever reads this.

OP
Whenever I read "oh my god we're gonna lose" I got to Nate's site and calm down.

What would be wonderful would be if Ryan lost both his VP bid AND his house seat

The best thing him about losing both races is it would pretty much finish his political career

It is one of the things truly delicious to think about during this horrendous election season

I dunno--for me, I feel way more comfortable when I think about the ec vote in 2008.
