Lawson Results

[V3n]

If he does lose (I say while he is currently down) - it's nothing against him, it's the (R) after his name. It's a Republican bloodbath out there and we have W. and McCain to blame for it.

37% now.

David Price: 253,802 votes (63%)
William (B.J.) Lawson: 145,936 votes (37%)

don't blame Lawson, he did an awesome job, I blame the morons of that district.

The district is full of indoctrinated college kids high on Obamamania.

Gullible dupes...

Poor Georgie boy will probably go down in flames as one of the WORST POTUS ever! I don't feel sorry for the clown at all, but the obvious hatred of the people for him is massively affecting this election. Irrational, but predictable.

P.S. I just heard a local commentator on TV (Montana) state the local vote was personal, i.e. the people were ticked which reinforces the aforementioned comment.

Seriously. Price's previous opponent in 2006 got 35% of the vote after raising only 25,000 dollars, not campaigning, being a neocon and just being a "token candidate."

All this for one extra percent? How disappointing. I don't blame Lawson, he did an awesome job, I blame the morons of that district.

Excellent point! Nothing we can do about the morons. Look at the amount of people who voted straight democrat ballot! That killed us. BJ put his heart and soul into this campaign he did his best.

In a presidential election cycle every moron runs to the polls to vote. This election had a huge turnout.

The best chance for freedom is the free state project, and odd election cycles in the house of representatives. BJ would win 2 years from now.

For a Republican in that district, Lawson did really well - well enough to warrant a rematch next time around!

 

[Printo]

They say incumbents win 95% of the time. He's in a district full of college students during an election when being a Republican is a huge liability.

all this does tonight, along with the past year of working for RP is show me that we either have way more work to do than we ever thought, or this country is too far gone and peaceful secession is the last chance we have for true freedom...

 

[slantedview]

this is fucked. i feel really bad about this one.

 

[Trigonx]

too many retards voting straight democratic tickets, Price is riding the Obama wave. 2010 would be a complete different story.

The Republican brand is just radioactive this year. If we can't do better in 2010, time to drop them like a hot potato. It certainly aren't helping people like Lawson. He did just a little better than a lone independent would have running against a Democrat with no Republican in the race.

i think you're right. i am all for dropping the republican name. time to start over new..... i wish ron paul would get on board with this.

Some one has already mentioned it, but the ONLY way to turn this ship around is through education and educating the masses means gaining access to their minds. At the Obama rallies, did you notice the reactions of the crowd? These people are massively brainwashed. Other than reaching the minds of the indoctrinated, secession is the only viable answer. Personally, we should be continue working toward both ends, but put more emphasis on secession. We need to bring both options to birth. If one state managed to secede, would it be easier to use it as a platform for gaining access to the brainwashed masses in other states? I think so. If Montana seceded, think of Montana as an independent state with enough resources for reaching out and touching her neighbors.

What about infiltrating the democratic party? We can emphasize our agreements with the democratic grassroots that is against the war, and against the patriot act, and pro civil liberties. And, we can rail against economic intervention on the basis that it only benefits corporate fatcats -- the bailout being exhibit A.

WTF! how could this happen?!
