I'll just be glad when it's over so Ted Kaufman will quite spamming my inbox. Not only would I never vote for that knucklehead, I don't even live in his state! -
I vote to bump this thread.
If you have already voted, do you currently have a different answer?
If you havent voted, please do so now... -
I think the very liberal states such as California, & the New England states will likeley re-elect their candidates. There may be some others too. Overall, it will dependant on how angry the citizens are.
-
- A candidate in any state who should have the official title "the People's republic of..." Such as California, Vermont, Oregon--most of those guys are safe. Those constituencies have convinced themselves that out-and-out socialism (or worse) is the only solution. There is no, and can be no, common ground with these folks. It would not matter, ever, what a liberal candidate did. Too many brain-dead followers would vote for them anyway.
- Some reps that voted yes are facing such pitiful competition that even with their unpopular vote--they're going to hang on to their seat.
- Any candidate with a black Congressman in a majority black district is completely safe. They could be a serial child molester--doesn't matter. That constituency has a plurality of folks that vote race, no matter what--even if it violates conscience, common sense, and all manner of civility, morality, and decency. I can't think of a more disgusting trend in US politics than the complete and absolute blind allegiance of many in the black community that is totally race-based.
Will there be a big shift in Congress? I think so...but not as big as some folks think, IMO. I don't have that much faith in American voters making intelligent choices anymore. And gerrymandered districts--particularly along racial lines--mean that death, voluntary retirement, or removal by outside entity is the only possible means to unseat a siting Feudal Lord...er, Congressman. -
BTW, here's the list of who voted how:
