Joementum posted:In Terry McAuliffe's 2007 memoirs he recounts that his wife kicked him out of the hospital when she was having a baby and he went to a Washinton Post party. OK, that's not the most flattering story, but it's somewhat understandable. Then he tells about what he did on the way home from the hospital with his newborn child. Ahahahaha. Hahahaha. Go gently caress yourself, McAuliffe. Talk about picking between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. /southpark

De Nomolos posted:The only way I could see a split is if left wing Dems/progressives in deep blue areas where the GOP is non-existent or beyond inept (most major cities, states like CA and NY) went full-on into a group like the Working Families Party. That would still only work on a local level, since WFP relies on labor boots-on-the-ground to have influence rather than ad buys. The WFP just nominates the Dem. candidate most of the time anyway.

quote:Have you ever noticed that states with 90% (or more) white population, votes liberal/Dem? States like Washington, Oregon, Delaware, N.H. and Maine.......That's because most only see Blacks or Browns on T.V. and think: "Gee, they seem like such nice people." Try living with them!!!!!! Which is EXACTLY why the District of Columbia is a Democratic stronghold, its famed 90%+ white population. Wait... I also like how he conveniently fails to mention California which has like a billion Hispanics and votes strongly Dem anyway.

ComradeCosmobot posted:Not really, no. And the fact that the Senate minority leader in a state that went 60-40 for Romney and managed to kick out a five-term Democratic incumbent last year is being called the "most vulnerable" candidate should say a lot about how few opportunities there are for Dem pickups.

jeffersonlives posted:Eh, polling has shown McConnell as pretty vulnerable even in a vacuum for a while now, and Kentucky has a Democratic governor, lieutenant governor, AG, secretary of state (obviously), treasurer, and auditor so it's not really a state like Idaho or Louisiana where Democrats cannot win statewide. Not to mention, the 2004 Senate race was pretty close and the Republican only one by 1.4%. In 2004, which was otherwise a good year for Republicans.
