Some reactions to our newest Democratic congressman!

"to have a 25 vote difference in a 155,000 total vote is a mathematical impossibility.

Then, what, for the first time in history the absentee ballots went to the Dems instead of the GOP, in spite of the GOP sending out more absentee ballots.

This thing reeks."

Actually mathematics genius the correct term is statistically improbable...actually the end vote total for any election with 155,000 total votes is statistically improbable.



"Unlike Republicans and Conservatives, the Dimocrats and Lieberals are in it to win at all costs and they keep at it till they win." It is a shame when we ask for all the votes to be counted and the actual winner be declared based on that vote total than by having 9 people decide an election


and lastly

"ACORN WINS AGAIN." I need to get involved with this organization...they seem to have the power to not only elect Barack Obama by 8.5 million votes but they also seem to have the power to throw up state NY races. :rofl:

1. Their continued focus on ACORN - a red herring at best - is too funny. n/t

[Honeycombe8]

2. I'm sorry. I gotta go with sugar. THEN freeper tears! nt

[Raine]

3. HAH well it's not your father's absentee ballot count anymore

hey "genius" we are wise to your absentee ballot scams now. :think:

[KayLaw]

4. Yum, yum

Better than the sweet tea we make down here.

5. Gloat while you can

but this is a razor-thin victory. In part, it's because President Obama's numbers are still pretty sky-high. They might not be quite this lofty during early November, 2010.

We have a lot of work still to be done.

[AllentownJake]

6. This is an election we should not have won

The district has a GOP voter registration advantage.

[customerserviceguy]

7. And Kirsten Gillibrand

won it by six points in 2006, and twenty-four points in 2008. A tiny fraction of a percentage point is not a lot to crow about.

[AllentownJake]

9. and Murphy is a total unkown

who was down by 10 points 30 days before the election running against a well known state rep.

8. Wasn't NY-20 a conservative district?

[customerserviceguy]

10. See my post above

as to how a Democratic candidate could do well in a Repuke district.

Like I said, for this to be some sort of bellwether, the rest of the Obama Presidency had better well be seen as "performing". It's not impossible, it's just going to be difficult. We all need to keep working, 2008 did not mean resting on our laurels.

13. Oh that's what your worried about?

Tommorow I'm meeting with a county commissioner's candidate to aid him on his field plan than helping the Mayor of Allentown on his re-election campaign, than I'm going to the county party office to help with a project, and I'm organizing a fundraising campaign for the county party. :evilgrin: I'm working as hard for change today as I was last April 24th.

11. Yep PVI is R+6

A very nice victory.

[PBS Poll-435]

12. Gloating?

This is a very conservative district in which WE WON.

The FReepers and the GOP said that if Murphy wins, Steele is out.


This is the opposite of Army Paul Vs. Mean Jean in OH-2 a few years ago.

[customerserviceguy]

14. It was quite good for Murphy

that this election was very soon in the new Presidency, I do feel that things may get worse before they get better. May we all have such fortuitous circumstances in our elections to come.

17. ignore

I was commenting on another race

[CTyankee]

15. ACORN must have used magic to get all those dead voters to the polls on Election Day.

Remember how the righties complained about ACORN registering dead people...

[PBS Poll-435]

16. Lolz

Nicely done.

18. "to have a 25 vote difference in a 155,000 total vote is a mathematical impossibility" - TRUE

But it's NOT a mathematical impossibility to have a 25 vote difference in a 155,001 total vote.

ASSUMING that the "total vote" is all valid votes for two candidates.


Why? Because there's no way that an even number can be the sum of two numbers whose difference is an odd number. Likewise, there's no way that an odd number can be the sum of two numbers whose difference is an even number.

It's true but irrelevant since (1) the reported total votes is an approximation, not a precise tally and (2) the components of the total votes cast are more than just twoo, and would probably include write-ins and minor candidates.

[AllentownJake]

19. Exactly

When I don't like the democrat I vote for my Father who passed away 2 years ago. Its something I've been doing it since I was 18.
