thank you!

 

[BSU kid]

The media is trying to justify a Kerry win:

If Cassis faced Bentivolio on the ballot, she would win the nomination in a landslide. But write-in campaigns are unpredictable, and even some of her closest allies are hesitant she can pull it off.

from DailyPaul:

Ron Paul supporter Robyn Hamlin leading in MO Congressional Dist 1 with 60% of vote - Update: 60% Reporting

To bad it is D+10....


on an unrelated note some of our twitter users should get a hashtag about MI 11 trending.

Nancy just said per the Detroit Free Press that she will not concede due to the complexities of counting write in votes.

lol! So glad she isn't heading to DC. We don't need more Congressmen who can't count.

Ron does relatively well with Dems. He should run on civil liberties imho. Doesn't piss off conservatives much and excites progressives.

According to the media Kerry didn't have a shot at this race, anything can happen. But yeah it's an uphill looking climb.

it used to be D +25 and now it is D +10. I would love love love to see a win but this isnt even going to be close. better to invest time energy and money elsewhere.

"Honestly, we know that had I been on the ballot, I would have overwhelmingly won," Cassis said around 9 p.m. before Bentivolio claimed victory.

Poor loser much?

And now it's time to compare and contrast, http://plymouth-mi.patch.com/articl...ory-in-michigan-11th-district-republican-race

Kerry Bentivolio

I want to commend Nancy Cassis on a hard-fought race and ask for her support

Nancy Cassis

Honestly, we know that had I been on the ballot, I would have overwhelmingly won

But yeah, those Paul supporters are really ungrateful in defeat.

 

[BSU kid]

Poor loser much?

Yeah even some democrat who posted in that article's comment section pointed that out. lol

Nancy is such a cry baby :'(

Remember, there is a special primary election on September 5 and Nancy's name will be on the ballot.
