Hey Equality, as a fellow libertarian and Pennsylvanian (albeit, from the wrong side of the state) who do you fancy voting for in November?  Is it worth sacrificing of some principals to hold our noses and vote Toomey and Corbett?  I mean, the last thing we need right now are more Obama alies in DC, or anywhere else, right.  I'm still wrestling with this.

Oh Libertarians sacrificing principles! Soon you will be cashing unemployment checks or asking for public health care! 

Disappointment.

Well, as a Western Pennsylvanian I know for a fact that Dan Onorato is a dunce and I couldn't imagine a worse potential Senator than Sestak (could end up with two left-wing-puppet Senators from the same state Dead).  It's tough, really need to replace Dems with Reps then replace the Reps with libertarians.

Havn't followed polls but does Sestak actually have a chance?

I really don't think Reps will retake Congress (at least not Senate) but there will be a big loss.
Anything the Dems can save is golden. PA is a possibility.
Imagine if they can even pick up a seat!

Florida is in that 3 race that's actually fairly balanced. Crist is actually...less conservative then Reps mainstream so even if he won there's potential for SOME bridge gapping.

Politics is a sport to me I think, I like tracking and figuring out and guessing.
Except I never like the winner LOL

Really?  Most analysis I've seen shows that the GOP will almost assuredly take the House, but yes they probably won't take the Senate.  Sestak was down by a good margin but he has narrowed the gap somewhat, I think Toomey still has a lead though.  Last I heard Rubio had a sizeable lead, but that was a while ago, so maybe things have tightened down there as well.

Well maybe hopeful wishing LOL
House is very probable, but I doubt the Senate. I'd be surprised.

Hmmmm we all know polls aren't perfect and all that jazz....but let's face it they can be used as a pretty good gauge.
PA race seems to be very tight at the moment actually.

You of all should know PA isn't too radical either way (too balanced a state). Toomey is a bit out there and was president of the Club for Growth!

An out of touch intellectual vs. the moderate with a 30 year military career. Which sounds more appealing to Pennsylvanians? LOL And I spent 4 damn years in pennsyltucky...

Charlie Crist...it seems he opportunistically bailed on the Republican party when it seemed convenient for him to do so, and now that is proving to be an inconvenience.  My opinion of course, but for that and many other reasons, I don't think he'll win.

That said, the Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott is someone I don't like either: In an ad, this guy ironically accused his Republican opponent Bill McCollum of bringing in over $100,000 from abortion providers, which wasn't true.

I voted for Bill McCollum, but on a "lesser of two evils" basis.  And I sure as hell don't want to see Alex Sink (who, hilariously enough, worked for Bank of America) over FL.  Thumbs Down

As for the senate, I hope Marco Rubio makes it.  I've sniffed this guy, and it's nothing but roses and good sense.  I think he'll win, and I think he'll be great.

Just like our good ol friend Arlen Specter?
Pretty much admitted he jumped ship because it was good timing and came back to bite him in the ass?

I was hoping the right would split Rubio and Crist and the Dem would win...but even that seems unlikely.

Oh no, not at all.  The right has blasted Crist on all sides (and rightly so for many reasons).  I'd be very surprised if Crist wins a free lunch buffet at the Golden Corral.

Florida is a funny state.  It's loaded with old people who love their Medicare but love their portfolios more.




That second part was a joke.  Wink

Yeah....which is why I would've been OK with Crist winning.
Not a big deal anyway. If he, or even Meek, won it would've been a bonus pick up.

I hope we can hold on to PA at least...


Edit: Don't worry Rob you'll be living in good ol NC soon!
The old people and northern liberal transplants will be replaced with nascar and.......

Dude this is Florida.  Home to Daytona.  NASCAR is huge here.

NC used to be all about smoking.  Not anymore thanks to liberals.  Ouch

And for Democrat Beverly Perdue, she spoke at my college graduation.  I cringed the whole time.  Ouch

To be fair, her predecessor Mike Easely was a Democrat and I kinda like him.

Since I live in Georgia, it's a pretty good bet that the Republicans are going to win everything. I will probably vote Libertarian across the board unless there is a particularly tight race in an important office.

Of course but NC is like, it's birthplace. I know someone that moved to NC for school just to be in NASCAR land.

I actually used to watch it like every Sunday Shocked

NJ is intense with smoking laws. There's pretty much a state wide ban on smoking inside, even a lot of bars!
Six Flags even has it banned totally, (except for tiny designated areas) in an open air place for crying out loud!

And it happens. I kind of liked  Rudy Giuliani. Also Lincoln Chafee and some other Northeast Republicans.
