Markets Indicate Sweep of NJGov, VAGov, and NY-23

Kevin Glass
Managing Editor, Townhall.com

The InTrade political betting markets, empirically a very good predictor of elections, are now trading Bob McDonnell with a 98.5% chance to win the Virginia governor's race, Chris Christie with a 56% chance to win the New Jersey governor's race, and Doug Hoffman with an 80% chance to win the NY-23 special congressional election.

I'm still pessimistic on the Christie race, but am getting a good feeling about the GOP's chances pretty much everywhere today.

"Oh, and the haters/bigots went into Maine and lied some more about gay marriage.

Gee, what a sweep!"

Hold on, I didn't understand that backers of so-called gay marriage are haters and bigots. You say all of them lied, once again in Maine?

I suppose it was that old lie, we call it the Big Lie.

If repeated ad infinitum, ordinary folks finally believe it's true. The lie about gays having a right to marry one another. When was such a lie ever believed in the world? Why does it have to be repeated ad infinitum? It ought to be common knowledge --oh, well. Let's see what transpires in Maine.

"Oh, and the haters/bigots went into Maine and lied some more about gay marriage."

You made it a point of telling us how what happened in NY-23, or NJ, or Virginia does not affect you so you're not concerned about it, yet you seem to think you're the expert on what's been happening up here in my fair state of Maine.

This redefinition of marriage, which the legislature took it upon themselves to implement, may or may not pass the vote of the people, but if we were successful in overturning it, believe me, it will not be because "the haters/bigots went into Maine and lied some more about gay marriage".

There has been much more money pouring into this state from the defenders of same sex marriage than those opposed,...

Sewage mouth is really getting unhinged. Her sick obsession with the gays is really making her crazier by the day. Kind of fun to watch, another brain dead fool headed for a padded room.

you know nothing about ACORN except what Rush wants you to know.

And SJA, you are a bigot. I will raise the issue of gay rights and gay marriage and all aspects of bigotry against gays and lesbians in every post I can.

People like you are hateful and fearful. You chose to be 'straight' after you sucked some dck, right? Didn't like the taste, did you, closet boy?

LOL.

Learn to read before you post. Nothing in this story comes remotely close to discussing gay marriage. As I said go find some gay site to spew your crap or go iron the Tutu.

Gay rights will include marriage, particularly after DOMA is reversed. Putting another GOP in NY23 has no impact on that, does it? I'm happy for you that you destroyed a moderate GOP candidate in that district, because it will scare moderates GOP candidates all over the country, which (although you don't really understand the concept) makes it unlikely that the GOP will make any gains next year when the election counts.

As far as the 'obama staff are pulling out all the stops and trying TO STEAL the elections anyway possible because that's what they do; they play dirty", well, I suppose if you can show me evidence of that, I'll consider your point. Stated as you do, well, it sounds just like the typical palaver that comes...

Better watch it; your insane, prejudice misinformed and misguided tirade of jealousy is going to prompt you to perhaps say something you won't be able to retract. Tee Hee!
Remember you gusyas are alwasy saying "the Obama adminsitration can do anything (even evil, unamerican shiit because....(WE WON!")

Well how you gonna feel when the cons make a clean sweep of these races when we say...WE WON?
SUCK IT UP FOR OBAMA, DEMS.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, and scept, we know the obama staff are pulling out all the stops and trying TO STEAL the elections anyway possible because that's what they do; they play dirty. But one day when we decent people of htis country have had enough we're gonna play dirty - and I guarantee ya'll...

Everything does not revolve around your obsession with your gay son. Try to stay focused or find yourself a gay website where you can go on and on about the wonders of the gay community. No one here really gives a rats as+ about your obsession.

(remember Christy Todd Whitman), NY 23 elects GOP for the 70th time, and VA elects another GOP governor (gosh, none since all the way back in 2002). Oh, and the haters/bigots went into Maine and lied some more about gay marriage.

Gee, what a sweep!

Too bad you couldn't sweep one year ago tomorrow.
