and he indicated he senses victory and called for patience.I had the tube on watched national and international coverage and had the computer going too. Its a close race but it did look as though Jay will do ok in the outcome as of 2 A.M. this morning .
Tis true King county takes longer to add it all up. Mc Kenna had some odd 37 % king county votes according to kiro's watch -,that in part is where Mc Kenna remained hopeful they would reach the desired 40 % in the final tally of King county votes.
I must say Mc Kenna's air of confidence got me to look a little deeper into their angle on it.
Horseshoes. They don't have it .
On edit, Mc kenna's manor of oratory is far better than Rossi's or McGavic's -he a good reader and retains what he reads well- he seems sure footed in his execution of what was written for him ! But he didn't memorize his lines like all good actors do ! Boo on him !
The working across party line bit seemed logical but you do have to remember through his words that McKenna is a republican party national lock stepper ,therefore you cannot believe a word he says. Not in part in or out of context.
Simply except Mc Kenna is suffering from Romnesia. Romnesia in both Mckenna and Romney's case ,there are others as well, in the after the election affect places the poor soul in a total state of denial . Same as Romney ,Mc Kenna was blown away and he can't see it or feel it YET. McKenna is sure he can win this just like Romney was sure he was president. You will read about that when Romney's inner circle breaks apart and the truth to tell books come out about it.
Romney believed he had it all in his bag. Mc Kenna is still in that bag.
It's a sad state really .
Think about what time it was when the election was called in the presidents favor. Our polls here on the west coast had just closed. In the east it seemed according to news casting, Ohio and Florida were the two big cheeses in the reporting. Although Ohio had been placed in the probable Obama column,changed from leaning Obama to probable. Suddenly California results blew in along with the others and don't you know it all came to a abrupt end. In about two minutes Romney was totally blown away . 15 minutes after the polls closed on the wast coast ,the presidential election was over- almost seemingly in a snap instant.
Romney was frantically try'en to have his statement pieced together acknowledging his defeat , and hadn't even called the president to acknowledge his defeat.
On or about 9:30 -10:00 P.M. in there somewhere at the early count Mckenna appeared to be holding his ground-but that quickly changed to a close race with Jay quickly taking the lead.
Not by a huge margin but ahead in the counting process. Such as it goes.
Jay didn't know the president was addressing the nation with his victory speech at the same time J popped in . Bad timing for J. And he needs better people in his inner circle-he should have been informed the president was speaking to the nation.
We can do better.
